NY Rocks

Let me start with NY Rocks as you could see by the Super Bowl we won YEAH!!!
I am not even a real NY Giants fan but when you are from NY and they are playing in the Super Bowl you have to root for your home team.
Let me give you a brief on our weekend since I left many of you in limbo last week.
Friday, I had my appointment with the surgeon and he explained in full detail what was going on with my gall bladder and how the surgery would take place. Then I was sent over for some more blood work to ensure that they wouldn't have to do an additional surgery procedure on all of my ducts. My blood work came back Friday evening and my scores have come down a little so, they feel confident in going ahead with the original procedure.
I will be going in tomorrow morning at 10:30 and the surgery should start at 12:30. They are going to do it laproscopically which I am happy about only a couple of holes and out through the belly button. I am hoping that I will loose some weight along with this lovely gall bladder. Please pray that there are no loose gall stones floating around in the ducts as this could cause serious issues. Brian and I are confident in the surgeon and feel at peace with the surgery. I have been in a lot of pain this weekend throughout my shoulders and back. I will be happy to have relief after my surgery tomorrow.
I will be out of commission for a week after my surgery. Thankfully our little ones are in afterschool care right now so I will be able to rest throughout the day. Brian will be picking them up on his way home from work and we stocked up on freezer meals so, I do not have to worry with dinner. Lunch will be my plain fat free diet of yogurt, salad, and oh I get to eat sherbet which I love and right now that is heaven!!! If any of you have any ideas on fat free, acid free meals please share your info. Please keep Brian in your prayers as we have no family close by to help us he will be having to run the show by himself this week.
Onto better things...
Saturday morning we went to the library which the children love and we found some fun books to read. We went by our house to take pictures of our footings that have been poured. The children had fun running around and playing in our soon to be back yard. Landen had his basketball game at 1pm where he did an exceptional job on defense. We were so proud of him "way to go Landen". We finished off our Saturday with a big surprise for the children the circus. What a fun time we all had watching all of the talent these individuals have. Gabriel kept asking me when he could join the circus. He saw these young gymnasts who were from Japan make pyramids with their bodies. He feels like he could do that as well and wants to sign up for the circus. Gabriel is our family clown.
Sunday Landen, Gabriel and Lilly were all invited over to a friends house to play for the afternoon. Brian and I went to the grocery store and then just hung out at the house and watched a movie together. Last night we finished our weekend off with the Super Bowl.
The Lord has been so good to us to bless us with another fun filled weekend! I will try and post pictures from our weekend soon sorry for the lack of pictures lately.
