George Washington & Mom Update

Last week Carter's class focused on George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. They did some cute crafts. Here's a picture of him with his 3 corner hat and George Washington wig picture (and his NICE fake smile).

Mom update:
My mom is home from the hospital and is doing better. She was released yesterday afternoon, which was later than they anticipated because they were still waiting for her body to regulate with one kidney. They did not remove the kidney but apparently it will eventually shrivel up. She is very tired and run down but we are so relieved she is home and doing better. Thank you for all your kind words and prayers.
Also, I am LOL at all the nice comments about how I'm looking. You are all WAY too nice. I'm still a cow but I have noticed the weight is coming off fairly quickly. I'm actually down about 12 lbs. from those pictures. Still have plenty to go though. So thank you for the nice comments. On the up side I am wearing a *real* pair of pants today (instead of yoga pants) for the first time.

Great news, M. I'm glad she is doing better and I hope her other kidney becomes a champ. Here's to shedding pounds too. Hurray!

I hope your mom's recovery continues to go well - hugs!

Harrison STILL isn't out of the fake smile stage - sigh. Carter is very cute with his hat and homework!

Addie is so cute and I love carter's school stuff. I am glad to hear that your mom is doing ok. My mom was just released from the hospital too (she had an emergency surgery on a pretty gnarly ulcer) and I really know how stressful it is to worry about your mom's health. I will be thinking of you guys. JJ
