Perhaps the scariest part of all of this is keeping a 3 year old still for 3 weeks!  (Yes, the surgery is scary, but telling her about it is scarier, and the “couch-potato” part is definitely the scariest).  I finished classes/finals on Thursday, and managed to turn in grades by Thursday late.  That meant I had the weekend to spend trying to wear out the girl!  Friday we went to the park with a new friend from church (and her 2 brothers and sister).  The girl had so much fun! She ran, climbed, got stuck a few times, and also found a caterpillar!

I am sad to report that the caterpillar did not survive the curiosity!  Saturday we went for a hike with our good friends (The girl considers these boys her brothers).  She raced, threw rocks, ran with sticks (despite my protests), and even saw an Oriole:

The girl also spent a good deal of time pretending to be a bird…she flew everywhere! (Thanks to SH for the AWESOME wings!!!!!)

Best of all, was the dance party with Nonnie!!!!

Updates tomorrow…when we know something about time, etc.
