Two things

I am giddy with love for my kids lately. TK aka Tiki aka Teeks is growing in the funniest, sweetest and best kid on the planet. He's a physical comedy force. I think he's a hoot. He, of course, has his moments - like all 5 year olds and lately those moments include him referring to himself in the 3rd person which I truly hate. I made the mistake of letting him know that so now he just does it...for fun...to irritate me.

And TC, affectionately known as Bitty is the cutest baby EVER. Ask anyone that knows him. He's just so cute to me (and us). He has a belly laugh that can't be beat, two big ol' chiclets for top teeth and my dad's hair pattern and all those things add up to FREAKIN' CUTE! Tiki is a seriously gifted older brother. He's so good to Bitty and is constantly paying sweet attention to him.

Now to the second thing, brave Paulette Hartley is having surgery tomorrow. Paulette Hartley is my nickname for my mom. She's having cadaver bone put in neck. It's actually her second surgery for degenerative disc disease and they will use metal plates and donor bone to relieve the vetebrae that are currently rubbing against one another. Brian, Mara and I are going to hospital tomorrow to keep Ken company for a while. Prayers are always appreciated!
