Two by two and Four by four

So we are in the midst of summer for the boys and they are enjoying it! This past Thursday we got to have a much needed family day. As always we hit our early season pass to Dutch Wonderland.

It was a much needed day for this Momma, who's  been stressed lately and just overwhelmed by details. To hear my kids laugh and enjoy such simple moments was all I needed to remind me about what's important.

It was also a day to reflect and realize (and feel a bit sad) that Aiden is really growing up (and to fast for me). There are now rides he just won't do and rides I have to beg for him to go on for his brother. Even the annual pick out something from the gift shop ended in him getting a mug.

I realize this kid is growing up quickly and the family days might be numbered.

JP had his 4th surgery on Friday- 8 plates. So this is very minor compared to the last few surgeries he has endured, but still not easy for this Momma. 

We went in thinking he was getting one eight plate, but he ended up getting two. This is actually a good thing because it is one less surgery to endure in the future.  The surgery went well, but JP wasn't completely happy.

It took us sometime convincing him that this 4th surgery he had (in 4 yrs of living) was worth it, it is hard to rationalize with a 4 year old,, but he's already walking and making his ways around.

This kid continues to amaze us and reminds us nothing is impossible!
