Have not blogged in a while. It's not due to lack of pictures, we have just been pretty busy. Last week Kris was staying with Grandma and Grandpa Campbell at their cabin. Grandpa Campbell found a small painted turtle that Kris is caring for. We met the grandparents and Kris in Green Bay last weekend to pick her up (our van was still under repair so we rented a car), visit my Grandma Sommerfeld (I'm glad Katie got to meet her before her Alzheimer's was any more advanced), and visit Karen's family in Door County (lots more first meetings for Katie). This is the first time we have been to Green Bay/Door County since Christmastime. We could only spend the weekend up there because I am still (co)teaching, so we returned on Sunday. On Monday, Karen celebrated her birthday by having her first date night with me since before Katie was adopted - we spent a lot of dinner talking about out kids, then we went to see a "kids movie": Toy Story 3 in 3D. That's OK, it was a good movie, like all Pixar movies.
Yesterday morning we took Katie to the hospital to get ear tubes inserted and her cleft palate repaired. It is amazing to me that the doctor effectively built most of a roof on her mouth. She was in surgery from about 8 am to about 10 am. Though she has been hurting afterward (and is understandably tired and grumpy) she seems to be recovering on schedule. Last night Karen stayed with her at the hospital and Kris and I slept at home. It was hard for Karen to sleep with all the noise. We all got to go home at about noon today. Tomorrow I plan to go back to school (took yesterday and today off) to finish off that class. We hesitated about posting all of these pictures and apologize if some think they are too graphic, but our intent for some of these pictures was to educate.
