Mother's Day
We had a wonderful Mothers Day on Sunday. We went to mass and my mom and I were given beautiful corsages. Then we went to Mamasan's grave and put flowers there and told her how much we missed her and loved her. Angel was very proud of herself for putting all the flowers in. Then we went to my mom's house and had a yummy breakfast of blueberry pancakes, eggs, donuts and mimosas!! (made by Caitlin and Jason) The girls went down for a nap and we opened some beautiful gifts and then went to see PopPop. Jason and Caitlin cooked a yummy dinner and I made a delicious dessert...a recipe I got back home in VA from my mother-in-law, called Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwich Dessert. It was a very relaxing day spent with our kiddies and family members and just enjoying being together (and being spoiled!!).

Who is having more fun??

Updates
PopPop Update:
He is doing well, still at Northwoods Lodge but hopefully not for too much longer. He has never complained of pain, just boredom!! He has been a bit disoriented but he tends to get that way when he isn't in his normal surroundings. He is walking pretty well again and the swelling in his hand seems to be getting better. He is in a big brace for his arm, not a hard cast anymore. He tends to get up and out of his bed on his own still so at least he is still wanting to be independent...however he also keeps setting the bed alarm off!! Poor guy....we try to keep him happy by bringing him goodies and the girls to make him smile!!
Pepe Update:
Pepe is still in the hospital although the doctors say he is doing well. He is getting his appetite back which is good because that wasn't going too well at first. He still has the drainage tube left and cannot be discharged until that is taken out. Right now they are trying to get his blood chemistry back in normal ranges. First he was anemic, then his potassium levels drop etc....so trying different things to fix that so he doesn't have to have a transfusion. He gets up several times a day to walk and slowly get his strength back. So we are hoping that maybe in the next day or two he can go home.
Other updates:
My sister Meghan found out her official due date for Baby Sturhahn is December 20th!! She is still feeling really well (remind me not to hate her!). Dad is still in Florida for his dad but will be coming home Saturday. We are supposed to have 80-85 degree weather this weekend starting Thursday so that should be nice!!
