My nephew- who just turned 4- is having surgery today. He is having his adnoids and his tonsils out. Poor bugger has really bad allergies and they are hoping that by taking these out- he will have less of his sinus stuff turning into viruses and infections. So while I know that it is going to help him....I can't help but feel a little hopeless not being there...so any extra thoughts you could throw out there to the universe for an easy surgery and speedy recovery would be awesome!!
My smile this morning is related to this darling little child. I may have told it before...if so I am sorry but I can't remember...
He and my husband were pretty much inseparable when we were in Mexico this year. Nephew always wanted my hubby near him, playing with him, in the pool with him, sitting next to him at dinner etc. Well they started a conversation one day in the pool- nephew called my hubby a meatball- not really sure why- but he did. So hubby said "well- you're a turkey meatball" and nephew said back you're a hotdog meatball...and it went on and on and on ...all week....and beyond. Now it's always where's uncle meatball when we talk on the phone. Call uncle meatball when I was there a few months ago. The letter we received for Christmas was address to Aunt Cole and Uncle Meatball. Other than my nephew being adorable about the whole thing is how hubby's whole face lights up when he hears it, or reads it....it really is pretty priceless.
Can't wait to get down there this week!!
