On April 25th, Sara had surgery on her brain to remove a mass that they found on Thursday night. Sara was having a hard time seeing, so the Dr. wanted a CT scan done and found the mass. Sara was a trooper throughout this whole ordeal. She had a 5 inch incision on her neck and was dizzy and would throw up any time she moved. I felt so bad for her. I went up to visit her on that Tuesday and she could actually handle a flash from the camera that day. She hadn't been able to tolerate lights or much sound. We are glad that she is back home and doing so well.
On April 22nd, Cheyenne had her end of the year preschool program. She did such a great job. Cheyenne is sitting with Miss Julie and Miss Linda. They are such great teachers.

On April 11th, we went to Aunt Jill's Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Christian found his egg really fast. He started picking up the eggs right when we got there, even before the hunt began. He was very proud of the eggs he found. It started raining during his hunt and it didn't stop the whole time. We still had fun though.
Cheyenne finding her eggs. She had a hard time finding her "Star" egg but thank goodness she found it.
Sammie showing that she found her "Star" egg. This was her first year in the big kids group. It was much harder finding the eggs in this group. We had to help Sammie find all of her eggs.
