Kindergarten Math???

Cyril: "Mommy, since I couldn't find a period and do 19 divided by seven equals 2.7 I did 19 plus 7 equals 26!"

Really...only in kindergarten???

Brotherly Love

Tommy's personality is really starting to show. He sure loves his brother, and Cyril loves him! Here are some recent pictures of them together.

Happy Easter!

Spring Break

So today was the first day of little Cyril's spring break. We started off with Chick-fil-a for breakfast then we were off to Knoxville to run some errands. Our first stop was Joann's fabric store. Tommy started sleeping with little Cyril's old travel pillow this weekend so I wanted to make a couple pillow cases for it. By the time we left Joann's we not only had the fabric for the pillow cases but had enough fleece to make two blankets (one for each boy of course). So we got home and made the pillow cases first then made the blankets. Both of the boys love them! Now we each have our own blanket to use on the couch and don't have to try to squeeze under the same one.

Tonight little Cyril is spending the night with Uncle Evan at Grammys. Wednesday we hope to go to the zoo. And Friday he is spending the night at his buddy, Joe's house. Sounds like a good spring break to me!

On another note this was a beautiful weekend. Yesterday Cyril was able to brew some beer which he hasn't done since shortly after Cyril was born! And I got the trampoline up an running with new safety netting and padding. So it was pretty productive.

Cyril Minus Two Teeth!

Today was the day! My baby has now "lost" his first two teeth! This morning Cyril went to the dentist and had his two bottom teeth removed because the adult teeth were coming in behind them. After seeing the roots fully intact I totally understand why they needed to come out now versus letting them come out on their own. They wouldn't have wiggled out any time soon! He did amazing! Afterwards we headed to Baskin Robbins for some orange sherbet then went to Sonic for some slushies to take home! Now we are resting and watching Harry Potter!

What's new?

Thank you all for donating for Cyril's Jump Rope For Hearts. He raised a little over $450! He was very proud and excited. He was trying to figure out how many kids with heart problems that could help! What a sweet and kind hearted boy we have!

Cyril is enjoying his new job. He really likes the people and the work. If only the hours were better and it was closer, it would be perfect! But hey, it's a job!

I am doing well. I am currently half way through with with my P90x workout program. I can even do half a pull up now! The muscle I have gained is incredible! Not as much weight loss as I had expected but it will come with time. I am down about 15 pounds since December 1st when I decided it was time to get healthy. Work is good, we are getting another surgeon so I will start working Mondays as well when he joins the practice.

Little Cyril is doing great. His bottom teeth are coming in behind his baby teeth so we are going to see the dentist Wednesday to talk about taking the bottom two baby teeth out. He is excited oddly enough.

Tommy is doing well also. He is really getting into the whole daycare thing. He gets excited when Cyril puts him in the car in the morning. He is learning new words all the time so it is becoming easier to communicate effectively! He loves cookies, and asks for them all the time. COOOOOKKIIEEE!!! He has that word down for sure!

So there is your Meredith family update!
