Wow…thank you all VERY much for the birthday wishes to my twins!!
Last night was fun!!
We had pizza 
and chocolate birthday cake 
(yes Juls…there is plenty left over if you’d like a piece 
) and then they opened their gifts. They both got spiderman pillows (the ones that actually are shaped and look like spiderman…from grandma). Caleb got an etch-a-scetch, which he immediately fell in love with (yay) and Jonah received a spiderman figure, which he also fell in love with (yay…2 for 2). I had bought them both toy cell phones the day before, so that they would stop playing with mine and Jason’s. They loved those as well…so…so far so good! 
We have pictures…but I didn’t get time to upload them last night…so maybe sometime this weekend.
I have a favor to ask all of you…
My youngest twin, Caleb…is going in tomorrow morning to Children’s Hospital in Denver to have surgery done on his ears in attempts to stop the severe ear infections that he’s been chronically having since he was born.
Would you please keep him in your thoughts and prayers tomorrow for me?
Being autistic, he is more than likely not going to be very cooperative for the preparations for this and very scared and confused as to what is going on. So if you could all just say a little prayer for him tonight…it would be GREATLY appreciated.
I’m hoping that this surgery will help stop the ear infections and pain that he’s had to endure for so long…and maybe, just maybe he will finally be able to sleep all the way through the night without waking up in pain.
Maybe then I can get some much needed rest as well eh?
I hope that you’ve had a wonderful week thus far…I will let you know how the surgery went sometime tomorrow night.
Thanks!!

Of course he will be in our thoughts. Good Luck to you all.
As a child with chronic ear infections myself, I will do that. Even if I wasn’t, I still would. I hope he feels better soon.
I am glad everyone had a happy birthday.
Good thoughts are headed your way!
I’m posting a note on my refirgerator right now to remind me so I’ll keep Caleb in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow. (My Michael is a Caleb too, I love that name.)
Sending good thoughts, and hopes that something like versed can be used to help Caleb forget. We have had to use it before immunizations and oral surgery for Michael.
… and a happy belated birthday to your boys!
of course
I’m glad they had a great birthday!!
I’m praying!
Tristan had chronic ear infections until they pulled his tonsils out and then all his problems went away!
I’ll pray that the surgery goes well and that he is free of pain from now on!!
HAPY BDAY A LIL LATE TO YOUR TWINS…. BET THEY HAD FUN!!!!
AVE A GREAT WEEKED…AND I LOVE THIS BACKGROUND.
Glad to hear your kids had fun birthdays, those sound like great presents. I kinda want them. Oh Gwen, grow up. Anyways, I’m wishing you and Caleb the best for his surgery, I hope all goes well!
