I know it was only a couple of weeks (or three weekends) – but our little home improvement project really tuckered us out. We were happy to have a weekend with our house in tact, and just the regular list of chores. There are still some projects left – but the invasive parts are over. And most of the major decision making is over, thank goodness. So this weekend, Grandma and Grandpa came up to return the puppy, see our progress, and share a sleepover. Grandma is doing SO much better. About 300% better from when they were here at Christmas. She was climbing the stairs faster than she did before her stay in the hospital. Her physical therapist asked her if she had any goals she was working toward, and she told her that although she hadn’t voiced it to anyone, her real goal was that she wanted to take her Grandson to Disneyland. Best goal ever. And luckily, she knows a couple people who work for Disney. Whenever the PT feels she needs some motivation, she says, ‘Now remember… we’re working toward a trip to Disneyland!”. At the rate she’s going, we’ll be there in no time.
Daffodils share special memories for me and Grandma – and every year we try and capture a picture of Brendan with the first blooms in our yard. It was very exciting that this year Grandma got to be here for that moment! Brendan’s excitement about he daffodils comes and goes, but he did pick all 5 blooms and we are enjoying the extra happy in our home.
Grandma and Grandpa offered to babysit for a little while, and Daddy and I had a romantic date that included The Container Store, a trip to Lamps Plus, and a quick Costco run. We did throw in some garlic fries and a soft serve ice cream though. Then we got home and learned that apparently last time we visited at Grandma and Grandpa’s house, Brendan mentioned something about cake. So naturally, not only did Grandma bring a cake, she brought a whole party:
What was the party for? Chelsea coming home and new floors! I think I understand where I learned to turn every event into a celebration.
We enjoyed the cake last night, and as soon as he saw it this morning, Brendan decided it would make a wonderful breakfast. It reminding me of he and Meredith enjoying a slice the morning after his birthday party.

We also watched a brand new movie: The classic version of The Music Man. He loved it. We all marched around the house and had parades all weekend long. I was having too much fun to capture a movie, but I did snap this picture… mainly because of the cute toes.
You’ll notice he’s not wearing any pants – it reminds me to mention that this week Brendan make his preference for ‘soft pants’ (sweats) very clear. It takes a lot of convincing to get him to wear jeans these days. It makes me laugh because I was exactly the same way as a child – I can remember thinking that wearing jeans was like a punishment. Even the ones with the rainbow stitching down the sides – if only I still had those jeans!
No big Superbowl party this year – just some fun snacks and a nice relaxing time with the family. I could go for another couple of days at home, but it was a very nice weekend.
I’ve been waiting for a new post! Thinking of you often. Next–before and after pictures of the home improvements.
