Gettin' our groove back!

We have been getting back to normal this week after a whirlwind of things happening last week. Addison was released from the hospital on Sunday mid day. She had to have one more blood test done on Sunday and the results were ready for us Tuesday - everything came back normal this time! Thank God! The doctor told us that she needed to stay home for several more days to get herself back to normal - Kevin stayed with her on Monday and I stayed with her on Tuesday. Luckily, she was well enough to run an errand or two with me because we have a party to get ready for this weekend! Addi was well enough to return to school on Wednesday where she was greeted by lots of hugs and people that were happy that she was back. Her classroom was nice enough to make a huge Get Well card for her and send her a teddy bear to the hospital. It brightened her day to see familiar names and great drawings from her friends and teachers. She seemed to have a normal day back and it was nice to get back into our regular routine too. We are so thankful that she is better!

Cooperman's 2nd birthday party is going to be on Saturday at the local fire station and at our house. We will get to see firetrucks, ambulances, firemen, and hear a presentation about fire safety. Then we will have a few activities and cake back at the house. Hopefully they don't have a fire emergency right when it's time to go to the station! We are super excited to celebrate the big day with him - he has reached the 2 year mark when they no longer adjust his age because of his premature birth. I will take lots of pictures of the event! He makes us laugh so often when he dances...he really does "get down" when a fun song comes on or when we are singing something he likes. He gets his fists clenched, bends his arms, and puts his hands up near his chest/shoulders. He starts moving his little arms while they are bent like that and stomping his feet. You can see in the picture, he is doing a modified version of this dance. He is a hoot!

These two really do love each other. Addi has always been very affectionate toward Cooper, but he was not always that way. But, he has been giving her more hugs without us initiating them and saying "sorry" when he hurts her by accident. But the best is lately he says "Love you!" without us prompting him or even saying it first! We just can't get enough of them!
