Greg's back to work

Greg decided it was time to return to work tonight. His boss is allowing him to go in shorts and without a shoe on his right foot. He will be working in the office for the next four months. He will miss the operation portion of his job but thrilled to be back in a work setting. He was so stir crazy sitting at home. I am concerned for him because I think he is over doing it rather early but he insists this is best for him....four months earlier than the surgeon anticipated but we'll see what he has to say about it at Greg's first follow up appointment on Wednesday. The next time Greg mentions our kids being stubborn....this will be brought up! I, on the other hand, won't mind getting my family back into our routine and accomplishing some tasks in preparation for the baby this summer. Our first order of business is getting a room ready for Lauren and Makenna to share. They've chosen a deep egg plant color for the walls with chocolate and white accents. We ordered bunk beds this weekend and they will be here next week. After that, we can start working on the nursery. I am excited about our Tonka truck theme. I hope it is as cute as I envision it being. We've only been able to prepare one other nursery because we were in an apartment with Erin and Lauren. Makenna had a sweet room with a large tree growing above her bed with "Greg and Sherri" carved into a heart on the trunk. We had bugs and flowers growing around a painted picket fence. It was so much fun. When Kate arrived, she shared with older sisters so she didn't get a room. The baby boy's space will be unique for our family. We chose Tonka trucks because they were Greg's favorite childhood toy. We have two of his original metal trucks that a friend has agreed to help us restore for the room. I love that we are handing down something special from his dad and that it won't be out grown too quickly. Now, if we could just decide on his name.....
