Grandma’s After School
The best news today was that Sue would be able to come home. But, things being as they are with hospital time, it would end up being later on in the day. So, I got myself into efficiency mode, and did what needed doing. Mary had risen super early and left, but surprised me by coming back and bringing me a homemade smoothie for breakfast! So nice of her. Brandon brought me some clothes and a toothbrush and such, so I was able to feel more or less human. My dad’s best friend Don...

I’ve been spending a fair bit of time at Sue’s lately, since my dad is home receiving Hospice care. I slept at home last night and got a shower this morning before we all headed over.

Looks like they played with Legos some, and took a trip to the Target (where Kendall can spot Frozen items around every corner!) I came...

Most are live performance videos, which are pretty fun to see. Brian clearly wanted to get in on the action, drumming on the table! Kendall danced along as well. Afterward, we still had to study spelling words. I included some video of our study time that...
Read MorePlay-Doh & Shrinky Dinks!
I was home with Kendall again today, who is feeling better and has a bit more energy. I had to do more to keep her entertained, so, we had some Play-Doh time, and tried out the Shrinky Dinks kit that she received for her birthday! We made a good number of things, and I traced and colored some pony characters for her from her coloring book. She was pleased with the...
