From back to school to the new year.

We had our Internet shut off to afford a better Christmas, during which time I also managed to smash my laptop screen *facepalm* sigh.... 

So let's catch up yet again!

School is going wonderful, the boys are learning more and more each day. I couldn't be happier that they love school so much.

Halloween was fantastic! The boys dressed as Mario, Luigi and Toad from Super Mario Bros. They were  a huge hit and everyone recognized them.

Spending time with family for the holidays, both Thanksgiving and Christmas, was the greatest. Some I hadn't seen in a very long time. We actually made it to every extension of our families homes, the only way it could have been better was more time.

Winter break has come and gone and the boys have returned to school, happy that they haven't had to wear their coats. Here in Kansas we are experiencing a very warm winter, reaching into the 70's many days.

Back to the present:

We were excited to learn that Tanner and I will be returning to Chicago, in April, for another round of appointments for his cleft lip and palate. No surgery this time but we will learn about the next surgery that he will undergo and when. The only upsetting part about going is that we will more than likely be flying out on the twins' birthday. It breaks my heart knowing that I won't be with one of my babies on his birthday. So to try to make it up to my baby we're having an awesome party the weekend before and taking treats to school the day before we leave.  It's a superhero theme, trying to stay away from the licensed characters. We're talking the Amazing Hunter and the Incredible Tanner! Any super party ideas from anyone out there?
