The day was bursting with anxiety and stress. We had a nurse trainee today along with two therapists, so the house was very busy this morning. I won’t even start about how it all went, I never intend the blog to be for complaining.

My life just seems to have a theme to it…

It was IKEA night at the house tonight for dinner. Or at least my best attempt to make Trevor his favorite meal.

Brendan licked out the mashed potatoes and gravy

Another day goes by. We are sending strength and love to Illinois today. Our family is always on our mind.

So many trucks, but they always fight over ONE

Brendan stole my dinner plate and was licking bits of baked potato with sour cream!

He had to share with his best friend, “Buh Buh…. ZZzzzz”

Bill and I exchanged a look of, “HUH??” when he let little pieces of potato get on his lips and tongue and he didn’t freak out.

It was otherwise a day that leaves nothing much to write about. 🙂

I simply am unable to believe that we just got home yesterday. It seems like the trip was last month already.

Leaving the house for two weeks, we emptied the cabinets and fridge of anything perishable. Before we went to restock today, I wanted to wipe out the empty fridge. Then there was a mega avalanche. A simple wipe down meant pulling the fridge out so that the drawers could be pulled out, then we had to clean the yuck we spotted under and behind, then it became a full scrub of every drawer and shelf taken apart, then we gutted and scrubbed the whole kitchen. We got carried away.

Trevor helped.

Because they are pretty much just tripping hazards now, we decided to remove the baby gates. Trevor can open them easily and freely so they don’t work anymore. Brendan just climbs over the couch. Bye-bye era of babyness. My boys are growing up.

They are growing naughtier too. When left to play together unsupervised….
