The tonsils are out!

The first couple of weeks of summer were filled will surgery for the kids. Ella had her tonsils out at the end of May and Connor had to have oral surgery for his braces the first of June. Ella was very brave and very giggly after they gave her the medicine to "relax." Every time someone said something to her she would giggle uncontrollably. Connor wouldn't let me take any pictures of him while he was having his procedure done, but he was pretty funny too. He kept looking at everybody like they were nuts when we talked to him after they gave him his happy medicine. You could tell he was trying to process what we were saying to him, but he couldn't manage to do it. It was pretty funny.

They both recovered quickly and the hardest part of it all was trying to keep Ella "quiet" for two weeks. One of the things we did during those two weeks was make a cake with fondant icing. WOW!!! What a mess! Just let me say that it is worth every penny to PAY someone else to do this type of cake. We made the fondant from scratch and the entire ordeal took us about 5 hours. Ella had a lot of fun, and the cake turned out O.K., but I wouldn't do it again!
