August 2009!

August was sooo HOT!!! We spent a week in N.C. and had a ton of fun. There were a TON of these little frogs every where so the kids were all over it! Jared flew out Saturday and drove home with us the next day. It was nice to have a whole day with him. He has been doing crazy rotations so he has not been home very often. But when he is the kids wanted to go to the pool with him. Pretty much this month we spent EVERY day at the pool! We loved it when our friends would come with us too!
N.C. Fun!






Back home
My sweet little Liam also LOVED the water. I was kind of hoping he wouldn't like it at all just because he can't get his colostomy or ureterostomy bags wet as they will come off. But since he did love it I found a way for him to enjoy the water too. I would use waterproof tape and tape all around both bags, put a regular diaper on him, then a plastic diaper cover, and then a swim diaper. Each time he got out of the water I would put on a dry regular diaper and swim diaper. The whole process took a good 25 min. and would last most of the day at the pool. To watch him be able to play in the water like everyone else and to see his huge smile made the whole process worth it!!!
