Winter Break Week One

The first week of winter break felt more like fall break and we were not complaining. Daily walks, outdoor Nerf wars and even a little fishing occupied our leisurely days. It was perfect.

Kate continued physical therapy and is making incredible progress. Her therapist is awesome, working with her one-on-one for a solid hour and making it engaging and fun. She loves going and we feel like we've made a friend.

On Friday, I took Kate out to use Christmas gift cards and a store credit. We had a great time and scored amazing deals. She got a lot for her money and we were shocked to not fight crowds or traffic while running multiple errands.

Then Ty wanted to spend a little of his Christmas money jumping at our local trampoline park and also at Target for a Magic 8 ball. He is having a blast asking that silly toy questions.

We borrowed a few friends throughout the week to entertain our very physical son because the rest of us were content to relax as much as possible.

Saturday evening, Layla injured her front leg playing. Given she never favored the leg she had a mass removed from, we are concerned she has done something significant this time because she is not putting any weight on it still today. It appears we are acquiring another vet bill this week.

Ironically today's message at church was about waiting and how to wait well. Given the status of our lives in a holding pattern this month, it was timely. These cuties all showing up in the spiderman shirts gave me another reason to smile. God's got this. And his trusty superhero sidekicks do too.
