Eli's surgery



This is LeBonheur Children's Hospital in Memphis. Noah had his 3 eye surgeries here and now Eli with his surgery.  It's an awesome hospital
Eli had a minor surgery in June and I'm just now getting the pictures posted.  :)  Now Eli can join the ranks among his brother and sister and say that he has had surgery and been in the hospital.   Now that all 3 of my kiddos have had surgery I'm done with hospitals and surgeons for a while.  Of course we still go for Julianna's follow-up appointments but no more surgeries for a while I hope.  

We had to be there early and I think Eli was still asleep and also a little nervous

We were there for about 3 hours waiting for his surgery


Off to the OR. I always hate this part.  Watching your kiddo being rolled off to surgery is never an easy thing

He was so loopy but he was enjoying his popsicle 

Ready to go home!

Broadway Bound

Julianna had a fun time in dance this year at the Millington School of Dance.  She loved going to class every week.  I was really worried that she would not be able to participate in her dance recital because it was so soon after her surgery.  Dr. Kelly reassured me at her post-op appointment that she in fact could participate so I was a happy Mama!.  Here are a few pictures of her big night.  The name of the recital was Broadway Bound and all of the songs were from Broadway musicals.  I loved watching all of the kids from age 3 to 18 perform.  It was an awesome night!! 


I love them!!  They are always so silly when I try to take pictures

She loves her costume and loves to twirl

Family picture.  Can you tell how tired one little boy is?  :)  It was in Memphis and didn't have enough time to drive back home, so we were there from 1:00 to around 8:30 that night.  It was a long day.

Mamaw and Papaw came to watch
