Oh, I have so much catching up to do! Here’s the rest of the month of August!

Brendan was very excited to get a gift from Grandpa Dusty. He now has the coolest owl bed around.

To say that he loves it is an understatement. 🙂

Thanks to Grandma and Aunt Heather P, Brendan has a complete Newt Scamander costume

Trevor goes shopping with Dad

August 21st – Brendan’s first day at school. He was so excited to finally get to go! He recovered from surgery so well and didn’t want to be held back. He was released to school but was not allowed to do recess or PT yet.

Rocket bike 2.0! The boys are loving it

This may be the longest video I have ever posted, but it is a look at our everyday commute. If you don’t watch the whole thing, at least watch the last minute and a half.

Not even one week of biking to school and we already got run into a curb by a car. We were all unhurt, but the wheel definitely suffered.

I walked the boys the rest of the way and Bill had to leave work to come rescue me.

August 24th – We went to visit our friend “The other Brendan” at the hospital. It was his 7th birthday and he was stuck inpatient having chemo. The double Brendans are well known at this hospital.

You can’t break this kid’s spirit.

When my Brendan was in the CVICU for so many months, the other Brendan lived there too while he waited for his heart transplant. He got a heart the week after we went home.
Here is that Brendan’s story: https://www.facebook.com/bdavies2010/

August 26th – We had to get out of the heat so we made a little day trip up the Mogollon Rim with friends.

The boys and their friend Blake played with sticks and mud all day. It was perfect

It was amazing to see Brendan run around at high elevation. I can not believe it sometimes when I watch him.
