I made up for yesterday by working doubly hard today to check some things off of our to-do list. Top of the list was finishing the carpet in the playroom. It is done to the point that we are ready to share some pictures! There is still lots of detail work to finish. It is so empty now, it will NEVER look like this again!

What does Trevor do with a big empty room with fresh carpet? He has to vacuum!

The little nook in the corner has our IKEA couch that fits just perfectly. I will be making it a nice durable cover.

The ceiling has some cute space-themed decals. I still have a ton of glowing stars to put up.

That little art project that we were doing was the customization of the boring white ceiling fan. It is supposed to be like the sun in the middle of the sky. 🙂

Brendan checked it out too before going on a walk outside with Bill.

Here’s a quick video showing the sillies eating some ice cream tonight. Brendan was doing a pretty amazing job of dipping a fork in it and then licking it. Then there is a little silliness running around in the new open space.

Hopefully we can accomplish as much tomorrow! We still have a big list!

It was one year ago today that we lost Grandpa Jack. He has been deeply missed and I know he would be so impressed with how far we have come. I can hardly believe it has been a year.

I don’t have much to share today. We have been going at a crazy pace lately and it all is catching up with me. I am super tired.
Here are just a few snaps from the dinner hour.
Brendan licks his tortilla chips until they bend in half from sogginess.

Trevor was so hungry, he wanted to eat the bag of frozen broccoli.

All of our loved ones get extra (virtual) hugs today. We hope we have another year of progress and happy memories.

I can’t believe I made it through a day without getting any Brendan pictures. I took Trevor out this morning to IKEA to do some shopping. We found a little couch for in the playroom that sits perfectly in that little nook with the messed up wall so we bought it today.
Trevor helped with the cart

A trip to IKEA is not complete without a frozen yogurt after meatballs and mashed potatoes.

We did an entire lap of the upstairs gallery and then a complete walk through of the store so that Trevor could burn energy. We made it home just in time for garbage and then straight to napping.

Trevor brings the cans in. He is strong!

Brendan had speech therapy while Trevor napped. He thoroughly impressed his therapist with his new words, his new eating of pouches, and all of his interactions. He was in a very cute silly mood today.

I crossed a bunch of stuff off of the to-do list today. I got about 25% of the carpet done in the playroom, made all of Brendan’s quarterly doctor appointments, and put together a couch. We are really itching to finish this playroom now, it seems the closer it gets to being done, the more there is to do. The little details are time consuming! We are ready to use it!
