Week 34 ... but who's counting

It has been a very eventful week with lots of fun.  Owen made it to school 3 of the 4 days this week!  We did a ton of walking, enjoyed visitors and played hard.

In school they made marble coasters for science and painted Lady Liberty for art.

We walk a lot and sometimes these little legs can't keep up.  So I push Owen and pull the pole behind me.. Good workout.
We played perfection and light bright for OT to help strengthen fine motor skills and work on visual processing.
We broke out the Slime Factory chemistry set from Christmas and made some gross slimy eggs. 
Liz came for a visit.  I can't believe it's been six months since Sebastian went to be with Jesus.  We had a lot of laughs and caught up.  We did dinner at Max's and grabbed drinking chocolate afterwards.  We had a good laugh at the $3.50 shot glass of hot chocolate.
My mom and Gigi flew in on Friday and it has been such a fun weekend!  Owen LOVES Gigi so much.  They have played Minecraft, Legos and he has enjoyed opening up all the presents she bought for his bday coming up.  
Gigi and Owen wanted to be left alone to hang out and play Xbox so my mom and I went out to dinner.  Amazing food and I have enough leftovers for like two more dinners.
Gigi loves exploring the hospital and made friends at the RMH.  She stayed up until almost midnight last night hanging out with Owen's teenage classmates that live at the RMH.
Back home...  Gpa Todd and Gma Monica took the grandkids to an Escape The Room experience.  It was their Christmas gift this year...experiences over gifts for the win.  They loved it!  Kam said it was a viral outbreak and they had to search the room for clues to find the cure.  Can't wait to do this on a date night.
They had dinner at Sauce afterwards.  I feel so lucky to call this group family!
Logi has been having fun!  I wish he'd stop growing up though.  Carson cut his hair today and he was not amused.  He loves his YouTube videos on the "pad" and going outside to play.  He is such a good eater lately too.  He was helping Larissa make chocolate chip cookies and was eating the chocolate chips as fast as she was putting them in.  Oh how I love this little guy!  FaceTime is my life saver.


Missing my babies and my hubs.  Absence absolutely makes the heart grow fonder.  Only a few weeks and I'll have them wrapped in my arms!  

I'm pretty sure Owen is the only patient on this entire unit that doesn't have an isolation tag on their door.  Everyone has something and we are being super diligent in staying healthy!  Lots and lots of hand washing, bleaching and mask wearing.  I've never been so healthy over the winter and I'm living in a hospital.

Prayers and Love.
