Where Have We Been?

Hey everyone!  I know it's been awhile since our last update, but in truth, there hasn't been a whole lot of news to share.  Pete has continued to recover quite well from surgery.  They put him on steroids to reduce swelling, which have given him some sort of supercharge.  He has a hard time sitting still for more than a few minutes, and he's turned into a cleaning fanatic.  This is great, because I'm a terrible housekeeper, so there's been plenty to keep him occupied.  In fact, our house is so clean now that the kids come home from school and ask if we're expecting company.

Peter was feeling so well this past week that we were able to take an impromptu trip to Indiana to visit my sister and her family.  Since I am now the official family chauffeur, Pete was kind enough to contribute 6 straight hours (each way) of detailed driving instruction.  And what a joy it was.  I'd like to say that his instruction was completely unnecessary, but we have a video of me trying to parallel park in downtown Carmel that would strongly suggest otherwise.

We had a really great time visiting family and sightseeing over the weekend.  We took the kids to the Indianapolis Science Museum and visited some cool restaurants in Carmel.  As always, Pete and I managed to get into some trouble.

Having fun at the Hot Wheels exhibit.  You can already see the improvement in my driving skills!

I found a horsey just my size!

Pete found a dinosaur with a brain tumor.  They've become very good friends and are thinking about starting a support group together.

Good Cop? ....or Bad Cop?

As you can see, we enjoyed some much needed R&R.  Here's hoping that the rest of Pete's time off work will be as enjoyable.  We've got the update on final pathology, so I'll be working on that blog entry next (just as soon as I finish Googling everything to make sure I understand it)!  I'll be checking in with you all soon!
