Friday: The pediatritian wanted Caleb to come back in so he could check his lip to see if it looked any better. We got to his office at 11am and weren't seen until 12:30. It didn't look any better and we couldn't get in to his plastic surgeon because he was in surgery all day. So the pediatritian wanted us to go to the ER at Primary Children's and have them look at it because what caleb has is so rare, the pediatritian wasn't comfortable diagnosing anything. We grabbed some lunch and went straight up to the hospital. By about 3pm we had a room and they started doing tests which included getting an IV (he HATED that... they had to wrap him in a blanket to keep him from moving... it was so sad), blood tests and a CT scan. They were testing to see if there was fluid in this tough spot in his lip that would need to be drained. To make a long story short, it turnes out there wasn't fluid there and they put us on medication to help the infection and sent us home... at 9pm. It was a long day and Caleb and I both were irritable (that word is an understatment for Caleb... he was furious at the whole situation) by the end of it.
Edit by Brandon: The "blanket" they wrapped him in was essentially a straight jacket. Also, I can't believe Lindsey failed to mention my staying home with a constipated Brynley and a failed enema attempt...
Saturday: We had a ward easter egg hunt and the big park behind our church. It is also right behind our house which is convenient. It was a lot of fun. It lasted all of 5 minutes and they got lots of candy! Afterwards the kids played at the park while we visited with friends.
That afternoon we colored easter eggs. It was a lot of fun and they ended up looking so great and bright!
Sunday: Sunday caleb woke up at the crack of dawn like it was Christmas. The kids loved their baskets! Brynley got curlers in her basket to make "princess hair". I thought she'd actually let me use them on her if they were a gift from the easter bunny. And she did! For those of you who don't know, she never lets me TOUCH her hair! No pig tails, nothing. It's very sad. But lately, she's been wanting her hair done. I'm loving it! I didn't get a picture of the finished "princess hair" but it turned out cute and very curly! Next time I won't leave them in so long!
Later in the morning we had an easter egg hunt in our backyard.
After church we went to my parents for easter dinner and another egg hunt! There were a lot more places to hide eggs at their house. It was a great Easter!
Monday: We had to go to the plastic surgeon and let him look at caleb's lip. It still has the bump but it's going down and it's looking a lot better! So that's good news! We have to go back to him again after his antibiotics are over for him to check it one more time.
I just wanted to put this picture in here of brynley's pony tail. She actually wanted it this morning and it looks so cute on her! This picture of caleb is funny too... He said "mom, look I'm goign to be alvin, simon and theodore!" and he put a grape in each side of his cheek and then smiled. Creative kid.
So that was our crazy weekend! Hope you all had a great one too!

Linds, that is sooo fun!! What a fuun easter for the kids! Oddly enough it brings back MANY memories of us when we were little. Our matchy puffy paint shirts... When i fell in that hole...
Friday sounds awful! It is horrible when your kids have to go through that stuff. Glad he's feeling better- Easter candy always helps the spirits!
Linds, your kids are so cute! I am glad that Caleb is feeling better! I LOVE the picture of Brynley with curlers! Too cute! I want to see one of the finished product when you do it again! Glad you guys had a good Easter!
You're such a cute mom! I LOVE the pony tail!! Posts pics of the curls next time she lets you do it... and more preggy pics!!
I really like Caleb's teeth. I can tell you're strict about dental hygiene.
