Thor's Surgery

As you can see, Thor has recovered just fine from his surgery that removed the cyst from his eyelid. He didn't even require sutures.





FYI: I had cookies n cream ice cream, with hard shell chocolate topping and heated yummy chocolate topping for dinner tonight. Joey had mini-brownies.
:-)

Oh, the cutest part. Joey asked for more brownies after he had the first pack (not fresh cooked brownies from the oven--we have a box with packs of 3): I gave him a hard time, teasingly, about having more. He said "I give Mommy a hug" and he came and hugged me. Then said "I give Mommy a kiss" and he did. I thought he did it because he loved me, but he led me to the kitchen and asked for more brownies. I said "Are you sure?" He said: "I gave Mommy hug and kiss. I want more brownies."


Ha! I'm being manipulated.

A normal Sunday and Monday

I'm going to try to update even more often as we wait for this last month to drag by. Earl needs to see pictures of his little boy :-)

For some reason, Joey was so into Zoey's dress when she came over to play on Sunday. He said "Zoey? Dress? Cool!! Cool Flowers!" and proceeded to play with her dress. He's a charmer.

Showing me his shoes.

Kiwi--whom will be going home to live with Angie soon and we're going to miss so much.

Our watch cat, Nala, who also goes back to Angie soon.

When I caught Joey sticking address labels on our bed rails, I asked him what that was, and he said "says Come Home Daddy" He thought the stickers said for Daddy to come home (or he thought he was spelling it out that way??). Later when we were looking at these pictures on the computer, he saw these and said that the stickers said "I Wuv Daddy" :-)

This is how he prefers to swing.

I think I have some pictures of the cats sitting in these same bushes. Ha.

He said he was giving Nala a treat (crashing the limbs into her face so she could eat them. )

Today, when I was taking this picture as he pulled the leaves off a limb on the fence, he said "daddy's happy." I had no idea where that came from, didn't resemble any conversation we had recently. I said, "daddy's happy?" and he said "yes, and Joey's happy" That's all I need to know. :-)

He asked me to take a picture of his binoculars.

Swiping mosquitos off his head.

Earl--you like the small pictures or this size best?? Miss you!

Lions, Church, and Camo Shoes

Before the pics I just want to say CONGRATULATIONS to my brother Ray!!! (Uncle Bubba). Today is 13 weeks since he got saved and 13 weeks since his last drink!!! We're so proud of you Bubba!!!! Love you!

This is how we spend many of our afternoons and evenings. When Joey wakes up from his nap and eats dinner, we go outside to play with Zoey and Morgan (Zoey is 5, and Joey ADORES her!). He loves Morgan and their mom, Ms Kelly, too!

Oh yeah, Green Daddy is always with us too.

Poor Kelly. Joey made her read, and re read, and re read over and over again this darn brochure to buy fundraiser items for Morgan. He's that obsessed with reading. It was just pictures of wrapping paper, and a brochure of chocolate. I can understand the chocolate. He comes by that part honest. Well, the reading too, I guess.

When he saw Harley Davidson wrapping paper--no pics of motorcycles, only the HD logo on orange wrapping paper--Kelly asked him "what's that?" and he said "That's Daddy's!" So funny!!! My 2 year old knows the HD logo and knows it belongs to his daddy. He He. I know you're proud, Earl.

Joey attacking Zoey with love. :-)

He's roaring like a lion here. He had a great time chasing Zoey and Morgan around to "skeer" them by roaring at them.
He also became a monkey at one point.


This last picture was before church this morning. He picked out his own shirt. You can't see his shoes, but they are those camo Crocs (well, a knock-off brand). He refuses to wear any other shoes. This is our 3rd pair. First he had a camo pair, but lost one shoe in Walmart. So I went to Target to get another pair, and only had the blue ones in his size. Then he broke one of the blue ones, so we went back and found some camo ones again. I'm not sure what we're going to do when it's freezing outside. I guess just throw on some socks with them. :-)

I'm trying to think if anything else is new with him...I guess not since I posted yesterday.

I've been sick for days now. Feels like the flu, but no stomach problems. Just horrible horrible body aches and headaches. And this morning I woke up to a severely sore throat and it's swollen. But no white blisters, so hopefully it's not Strep. Anyhow, poor Joey has been patient with me, but he's getting upset that we're not going to the gym every morning. He misses it. He was so happy he got to go to church this morning.

Hope you enjoy the pictures. Please hurry home Earl! Me and Joey talk about you all the time, every day. We are very excited to see you!
