They're Home

Hooray!  My boys finally made it home on Wednesday night! They had a great time, as they always do, at The Bad Farm. We visited and caught up and then the two legged boys took the four legged boy around the block for his first walk in way too long!  Cooper was so happy. I watched the three of them walking home and my heart was happy too!

In other news:

• Only seven more days until the recheck on my leg!  I hope it is healing and doing all the things it is supposed to be doing.  Still having lots of swelling in my ankle and foot when I sit or stand for any length of time, but I think even that is getting better.  
• I am going to have to repaint some walls in my house once this ordeal is behind me. Hallways just aren't wide enough to accommodate a girl in a wheelchair, holding her crutches with her dog refusing to leave her side.  And also, my wheelchair driving skills leave much to be desired. You would think I was driving a bumper car the way I ricochet off the walls. Scrapes and dings all over the place! 
• I drove a real car yesterday and it felt great to get out into the world, even for just a few minutes!  Unfortunately, I made the mistake of heading to the car in my bare feet and very quickly I remembered that concrete in Texas is ridiculously hot in July.  Chip had to save me and run in the house and grab me a shoe! 
• My short driving excursion yesterday was to take Chip to his driving lesson.  He drove all over town with his instructor and then he had to hang around to do an observation.  I assumed that meant he would ride along with another student who was learning how to drive.  No, it meant that he sat in the back of a Corolla with two other dudes while a kid took his driving test!  Can you even imagine how nervous you would be as a sixteen year old taking your driving test with three dudes you don't know in the backseat?  I thought that was hilarious!  The kid passed his driving test with a 100%, so kudos to him.
• Harry is digging his job and baseball season just seems to be flying by!  He had to work three or four away games while he was in Alabama, but how awesome is it that he could do that from a remote location?  Pretty awesome. 
• My niece Megan is getting married this year and when she was trying on wedding dresses this week I was getting a ton of pictures of the try-ons.  I got so teary eyed and my nose started burning, because she is Disney princess gorgeous and because she was just born. Ugh, these kids doing all this adulting, just stop it already! 

Here's hoping your Friday is great and the weekend ahead is stretched out in front of you like a lazy cat in a sunbeam!  Have a spectacular day!
