Finally received the missing piece late Friday afternoon

Chad worked on the swingset for about an hour on Friday and a good part of the day on Saturday. Maybe he will finish it today and the boys will be playing on it by this evening.

Missing piece on its way

Chad worked on it as much as he could without the missing piece and with the limited time he had after work. I called the company today. They said they would ship it UPS and we would have it by the end of the week. UGH!!!

Wouldn't ya know it!

The family van loaded down

Just getting started....

and wouldn't ya know it there was a piece missing and the company is only open Monday thru Friday so we have to wait to contact them and then we will have to wait for the missing piece. I guess... what's one more week to wait? We've been wanting to do this since Ryan was 2 1/2. Now it is 2 years later and there are 2 more reasons why we want to have a swingset. I think it will come in real handy with 3 little boys. We're all looking forward to the finished product.

About the boys

As of 3/31/08

Ryan is 4 1/2 years old. He is in preschool and loves every minute of it. He loves to color and he loves Larry Boy, the superhero from Veggie Tales.

Jack is almost 3 and he is the aggressive one. He likes to pick on his older brother. Even though he picks on Ryan, he likes to do whatever his big brother does.

Evan is 4 months old but is the size of an average newborn. He was born 9 weeks early. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and 12 1/2 inches long at birth.

All of the boys have had their medical issues.

Ryan was diagnosed at birth with hydrocephalus. He was shunted at 3 days old. That shunt failed at about a year old. That is when the docs performed a third ventriculostomy. That failed one month later and was redone. His last surgery was January 2009 when he was 5. He has MRI's annually to make sure the hydrocephalus is under control.

Jack was diagnosed at 3 months old with hydrocephalus. He was shunted immediately but that shunt failed at 7 months old. They performed a third ventriculostomy and he has not had another surgery since. He has MRI's once a year.

Evan was born Intrauterine Growth Restricted(IUGR). He was born at 31 weeks 3 days gestational age. He was only 1 lb 15 ounces and he spent almost 2 months in the NICU.
