Look mom two hands!  This guy will be 6 weeks post-op tomorrow and that means no more sling!  I think he’d burn it if I’d let him, he is so tired of it!  He’s lost a lot of muscle on that side and PT is going well.  Slow progress but steady.  We hope he will be driving again within the next couple of weeks.  He’s my go’er and my do’er…it’s been hard for him to be homebound more and limited in his activity.  His surgeon and physical therapist swear with lots of therapy and hard work he will be able to do unlimited pull-ups with his new shiny shoulder by spring.

Just sitting back, chillin on my ride, kicking the partial bedhead and chatting with my most favorite sister in the whole wide world.  He’s got her wrapped around that cute little finger too.

He will do any job if it means he gets to use the water bottle sprayer.  Cute little squirt.  And see that sunshine?!  So, so nice here today.  60 degree and the sun came out for the first time in weeks, it was glorious to get outside and soak it up.

We’ve spent the last 2 weeks purging our house.  We have too much and it was time to clean out.  Today we tackled the kids playroom / classroom.  School starts is just over a week for us (we homeschool from January to September).  That little cheese face cutie up there will be joining in on the school fun this year with his own early pre-school.  In addition to purging, I’ve been lesson planning like a crazy person.  From farm animals to physics, our age gaps keep it interesting.  After a big purge in the classroom today we will start pre-k, 2nd grade, 4th grade and 11th grade in about a week!  Two […]

Jason and Jude both got fancy new guitars and lessons for Christmas.  This little guy commandeered Taryn’s old, small, guitar shortly thereafter.  He plays with it for hours each day, even dragging it behind him.  He knows how to hold it correctly even though it’s a little too big, his little arm coming down to strum is so cute when he does it right.  But when he’s tired at the end of the day, it gets propped up on his chair so he can sit, strum and relax.
