Volleyball

Our youngest finally agreed to try a sport other than soccer or gymnastics.  

Back row, middle player

She was the smallest one on the team, and the youngest, but she improved the most.  So proud of her!

The end-of-season party is always the best part of any sport.

The coach did a nice job complimenting all the players and presenting them with their trophy.

Surgery

Eric had surgery this week for his artial fibrillation.  Prior to going in, he did so much research on the internet that it was driving me crazy.  He watched YouTube video after video on all the types of procedures possible, and the outcomes of each.  I think he was more versed on the procedure than  the medical staff.


Before the IVs were hooked up, we took one quick selfie.

Once the IVs were hooked up and a little gas started through his air tubes, the true engineer came out in him:Nurse:   Are you allergic to latex?Eric:  I don't believe that the compound properties of latex create an adverse reaction on my skin.Nurse:  Ok, I'll take that as a no.   

Once in recovery, the hospital had a "code orange" or a "fire warning" on the first floor.  Although still groggy from the medication, Eric instinctively replied that they needed to  "transfer power from the electrical outlet to a battery".  He doesn't remember saying any of this, which is quite funny.

The doctor said the procedure went really well, and he couldn't even force a-fib when he tried!  Eric has been doing great at home, lectored in church this weekend, and even went for a long walk today.  Very thankful and blessed!  

Unexpected Homecoming

Our oldest was kicked out of USC with the floods, so we were blessed with an unexpected visit!

It was her first time home since leaving for college.  The little one especially enjoyed her big sis being home.

It was great to have all my babies around the dinner table.After a long shower and a wash of her clothes, she headed back to school.
