aunt joey was our visitor this weekend. it was very helpful to have her here on friday, as we ran some errands and went to several dr appointments. one of those appointments being for jackson, who we found out has a torn ligament in one of his hind legs. poor guy. he's been limping for several months now, and we thought it was arthritis (he is almost 7 years old, so it made sense). so we started him on some supplements that are supposed to help with arthritis...and it didn't get any better. thankfully the x-rays we got done on friday showed a healthy set of hips! but it also showed much swelling and signs of a torn ligament in his knee. surgery has been recommended. (once we win the lottery, of course.)
the rest of the weekend with aunt joey was relaxed and pleasant. we enjoyed a day of sunshine, making sidewalk chalk art and playing in the sandbox outside. we hit a couple stores that i had coupons to, to get some spring/summer clothes for the kids. we watched a couple of good movies. jacob begged his aunt, almost hourly, to play legos with him. kate showed off her dance moves, with much resistance, and entertained us with her "shake my booty".
we even got to see the supermoon on saturday night. that was cool!a nice weekend.
one more weekend of madness to go, and then it's back to same-old-same-old for us....just in time for warmer weather! oh, and jackson's surgery.
