Everyday Life & Eye Surgery

Lucy likes gymnastics!

Great News! 

Lucy's surgery for her orbital blowout fracture with extra ocular eye muscle entrapment

was a success and she made a full recovery. She is back doing gymnastics full speed.

Samuel likes the trampoline.

So does big brother, Luke.

Sophie and Annabelle had a playset picnic!

Lynsey came over to visit!

Dad went to work,

but was home in time for a bedtime story.

Trampoline Dreams

trampoline (n.) 

1798, from Spanish trampolin "springboard," and Italian trampolino, from trampoli "stilts," from a Germanic source (cf. Low German trampeln "trample") related to tramp.

Samuel and Noah, Trampoline Buddies

Samuel loves to bounce high in the sky all day long

with an occasional break to play with his kickball

then back to some serious bouncing

until the heat starts to affect his level of interest

and fatigue sets in.

Noah takes a shady break on the screen porch with Chip.

Samuel takes a power nap in one of the chairs on the back deck.

He never lets go of his purple bouncy ball, however.

It was a really fun day.

Who knows what joy tomorrow holds?

Who indeed?
