Grandparent's day, flu, ya know...February for ya

My strong helper 

Clara loves climbing trees at daddy's work


My proper reader and eater (check out the leg)



Andre puts Everett's socks and shoes on, combs/gels his hair, with glasses intact. We get to school at least fifty percent of the time and his hair, although cute, disheveled, shoes off and laces out, socks off, glasses off and lenses popped out, usually missing. It takes me 10-20 minutes to find all necessary objects before we're able to enter school. Silly boy!


Mama's home with the flu while these cats are out partying with dad!

Trip to Ikea with dad

Daddy was even on therapy duty on Friday. I was so thankful. I spent two days in bed.


Saying goodnight from a distance, my heart breaking when this boy reaches for me...


"Goodnight mama, look, my gloves show you my love..."


Grandparent's day! Mr. Michael had two grand kids to tend to and Everett was very thankful!


Mimi came for Clara!!!!!!!!! I'm so thankful we have people who can step in for my babies.


Nunu came back from the North Pole!!!! A non-Christmas miracle.

Xray and then some

The whole family came for Everett's Xray since we were under the impression we would be getting results, not the case. 

X - ray time

Clara's fav place at any All Children's facility, the waiting room games


Everett content with Blues Clues


Trying to wait patiently, he's usually the most patient human


Hoping for good news



Some PT outside


Stopped into the lab to see my little chikadee in school. Sending pics to daddy. Other than homeschooling my children - there will never be anything more important than being right there with them, checking in on them from time to time.



Super cozy

Family bike ride 

All smiles


My heart



Billy Joel - such an amazing time

Upgrades 1960s fan can hit the road


Rocking him to sleep and watching him curled up will never get old. I'm not sure how we are going to transition to a bed, thankfully he likes to curl up.


Back to the X-ray - as you can see - we thought this was going to tell us more, but it's only for indicators. He is looking to see that things are in line, and they were. Yay! He wanted to check for shadows which show fusion, which he saw, yay again. Finally, he wanted to make sure all the hardware was still in place, it was, final yay! So, all is pointing in the right direction. Wait for six more weeks for CT scan. He explained it's a race against time, the fusion needs to beat out the loosening of the hardware, the hardware will typically loosen anywhere from 4 - 8 months. Since the hardware is in place and strong, it's a great indicator that the fusion is taking place although you cannot tell based on this image.
