I made it outside!

My mom came over yesterday afternoon to watch the kids (me) so Andy could go to work. She brought with her a big plastic pool...a HUGE hit! Our pool is a blow-up shark that takes about 2 and a 1/2 days to blow up, so the surprise for the kids was wonderful. They were busy all afternoon.
This was my first venture outside much less out of bed in a while...it was refreshing.

Thank you Grandma & Grandpa, and Mema & Papa for ALL your help the past week, once again we wouldn't know what we would do without you!!
This...equals

This.

Of course, as good upstanding kids, they had to find other things to do with the pool. A perfect use for an umbrella.

After dinner we ventured outside again, two times in one day for me, Yahoo! They played a little soccer while I cheered them on.

And the kick...

Goes...IN...

YEAH!

(I'd like you to take a look at the kids clothes...bless 'em, it has been interesting seeing what daddy puts them in the past few days. Nina here has on an undershirt and long underwear pants, and Harry, well I guess all he needs is a shirt.) :)

It feels good to finally be up and around. Said recovery should be 2 weeks for me...I'm chomping at the bit.
