adventures in Connecticut

As my blog stalkers know, we went to Connecticut this week to get 8 teeth from Jack and Patrick pulled. In Connecticut. Completely worth the 1.5 hour drive. The oral surgeon was awesome, so great with the boys, and a real pro at his job. He put them under with a little nitrous oxide (they were out for no more than 3 minutes each) and pulled out 4 teeth from each of them. No novicaine, no problems.

Here they are looking drugged, with their little bags of gauze pads each.

And a little over one hour later with several gauze changes…

Seeing Eoin and Aunt Robin perked them right up and they were their own happy selves again, just less a few teeth!As an added bonus, I got to take some MORE pictures of Eoin (twice in a week, it’s a record for us for sure!) and visit with Robin. He’s just yum!!We bought Eoin a wagon for his birthday (a little belatedly) and Timmy really ‘helped’ us put it together while the big boys watched/played with Eoin and then played Call of Duty on Aunt Robin and Uncle Joe’s playstation. They were in heaven. Told you he was yum! Oh, I have to get back there again to do some more cheek squeeeeeeeeeeezing. Eoin went in for a nap, and after 2+ hours Robin and I (and Timmy) finished the wagon, after a little sushi break of course. It’s like the Mercedes of wagons…And Jack snapped one of us too. Thanks, dude! (ok, I know my hair is a little frizzy but it was like 1000% humidity and we were sweating from wagon assembly). Love you Rob!! And those were our adventures in Connecticut.
