Out They Came

Myla got her tonsils out yesterday. She was not looking forward to the whole procedure. She was excited that everyone came to see her.
Myla got her "happy juice." It was one extreme or the other. She would be really silly and then be weepy. 

Myla really liked the mask she got to play with before going back.

Right after surgery. She was needing her daddy!

Mmmm! Eating popsicles so she can get her iv out and go home. 


As a mom, we don't like to see our babies in pain. It was a very emotional day for everyone but we are glad we can put it behind us. Her tonsils were really big according to the doctor. The nurse couldn't believe that something so big came out of such a little girl. We have been incredibly blessed with the best family and friends. We had a waiting room full and so many calls and texts from those that couldn't be there physically.

I think Myla is enjoying the special treatment and the treats! She has got gifts and sweet treats from such sweet family and friends. (She might be kinda sad to get better!)

Thanks for all who have made this not so fun time much better! Love to you all!

Eeek!

Eeek! It has been entirely to long since I have posted anything. Sad is what it is. So much has happened since December but it would take a much longer blog than anyone would care to read. Here is the skinny on what's happened/ changed in the Swan world.

Myla is now four and will be in K-4 this next year. She is a little social bug and can't wait to play with friends. She also started ballet/tap this summer and loves it. 

Brynlee is two and is still her ornery little self. She loves shoes, markers and lipstick. All but the shoes get her in trouble from time to time

For those that don't know, I'm starting a new journey this school year. I will be teaching kindergarten at a new school. I'm hoping, if I hold my tongue just right, to blog my journey through kindergarten. Hopefully others can share in my successes and learn from my mistakes. Oh and I'll be done with graduate school this fall!! (No homework may mean more time to blog.) Enjoy what's left of summer.
