Feeling sad for my Ella… We were talking about friends and she mentioned her friends Lauren and Ryan who live next to my parents. She said she doesn’t want to see them the next time we are at my parents house. I asked her why and she slapped her cast. I told her that she can still see them with her cast…She said she wouldn’t be able to walk the steps at their house. I said that friends help each other and that Lauren and Ryan would help her and make sure she got up and down the stairs.

I felt my eyes instantly fill with tears. She has been a real trooper through this entire cast ordeal ….I don’t forget she’s a child and has her down moments, but she’s been so positive and has had a go with the flow attitude about the whole thing that it punched me in the gut hearing her so sad about her friends and not wanting to see them.

Jammin’ to Jake and The Netherland Pirates soundtrack and baking brownies!!! Happy Day 4 of July!!!!

Josh and I continue to tell each other we should make a list of ice cream we like, love and hate…along with the brand name. Right now we have two mint chocolate chips in the same brand name that we don’t care for. We knew this when we purchased them…but forgot.
Don’t worry we WILL eat it! No ice cream goes to waste in this house hold!

Second day in a row that only one dinner will be made! The children are eating at the same time as Josh and I are…..Im hoping this is the beginning of eating dinners together as a family!!!

Uncle Matt came for a visit and brought us popsicles!

I look out the kitchen window and think – “that looks an awful lot like Ebony…wholly crap it is Ebony!!!!”

My poor dog was stuck outside for over an hour…didn’t know she was out there!

Time for a tic check!
