Unfortunate Events Down Under . . .

I had to have surgery this week - modern medicine . . . I'm not sure I'm a big fan! Thank goodness for drugs and anesthesia! This is me right after the medicine to make me sleepy and right before they made mommy and daddy stay in the waiting room without me.
Actually I'm not sure that I'm a fan of the anesthesia after all. It was good during the surgery, but was super hard to get out of my system afterwards! This is me after my first round of throwing up, trying to sleep some of the drugs off. I didn't even think my glowing toe was cool - that's how bad I felt!
This is me after my next round of throwing up. I just couldn't keep anything down. Thank goodness the nurses and doctors were super nice and patient with me - we were at the hospital alllllll day long!

Finally they let me go home anyway, after giving me lots of IV fluids and some strong nausea medicine. Once I got home, I felt a whole lot better. Nothing like being at home! Maybe that says something about hospital juice!
This is me the day after surgery. I felt pretty good - good enough to help daddy shovel some of the snow drifts around the side of the house.
This is me the evening after shoveling - mommy says I need to take it easy. I was fine until Sunday. They say the 2nd day after is the worst - I think they might be right about that one. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow!

Catching Up . . .

Ok - so I miss a week of posting to my blog and now I have so much to catch up on! Get ready!

First of all - HAPPY BIRTHDAY to daddy! I helped make his birthday cake. I'm getting to be quite the good cook.



Of course, I'm learning that the BEST part of cooking is licking the beaters! Yum!





We have pizza about once a year in our house. This is me eating pizza - I think I like it!



Snow, snow and more snow! This is me and daddy just hanging out watching the snow out the front door. I'm not sure spring will ever come.

This is me out playing in the snow. Daddy just finished cleaning the driveway of all the snow - - - Don't ask me how all this snow got back on our driveway? I wouldn't have a clue! (Don't show him the pile up by the front door I made - Oopps! Ha, Ha, Ha)

Mommy had to go on another trip for work last week so my Aunt Jennifer came to stay with us and play with me. She is sooooo much fun. I learned lots from her - she said not to tell my parents!

This is my new "popper" toy. It makes lots and lots of noise when I run through the house with it! Aunt Jen left this for me to play with and torture my parents. It works perfectly!

Last but not least - I have taken up shaving. Something about whiskers and fuzzy faces? I think maybe my teddy bear needs this more than I do!
