Bob's b-day

Today was Bob's birthday, and oddly enough, it was a rough day. Bob is still extremely uncomfortable with his back pain. This morning, he had an MRI done (what a great thing to do on your birthday!), and we met with the doctor after, and they said everything looks good. Normally, that would be good news, but we are at the stage where we were hoping that they would find something wrong so either physical therapy or surgery would take care of it. We are not quite sure what to do next. We are going to try to explore all options.

Despite the rough day, I did actually get to take Bob out for a birthday dinner. (Bob's mom and dad watched Tayva for us while we were at dinner.) We are trying to keep a positive attitude through this, but it is really hard. It is hard for me to watch Bob go through so much pain on a daily basis.

On another note, Tayva is doing well. The weather is getting nice here. Some days are nice enough to go outside and play. She LOVES to play outside (what kid doesn't?) So, the other day, we were outside, and she kind of fell in the grass, and while she was down there, she decided to investigate some nearby deer poop!! Yucky poo!!! She actually picked it up and had it in her fingers! I was right there, so right away I told her to put it down. Within the next few minutes, I caught her picking up some bird poop!! Oh boy!!!
