Monday April 20

Drew and Heather came this morning to help some more.

I think they are getting close to being part-owners of the house :)

The stairs guy came and worked on stairs again.

He does good work.

It seems to take a long time....maybe that is just cause I am anxious.....

But he is very good with the finish work.

I am just so excited to see it all done!!!!

After getting Port home from school, I actually got to go for a run!

And on top of that....I got a shower!!!!

Big day for me ;)

*****

Tonight I had Jen Zanelli and her daughter Becka surprise us and stop by with some pizza, root beer and a box full of donuts.

I can't even say how this made our evening go so much smoother!!!!!!

The PT called today to see if I could bring Madi in for a 5:00 appt.

So that was right in the time period that we would usually be having dinner.

Having that pizza, and not having to worry about anything....well it was so wonderful!

Madi had a deep tissue massage to being with at her appt.

Then she showed Madi some good stretches to be doing at least twice a day.

Then she hooked her up to a TENS (nerve stimulation) unit.

She left feeling a lot better then when she started.

But I am curious how she will feel in the morning :)

She wore a brace (dads old one) all day today and it really helped her with her posture, which in turn helped a lot with the pain.

She had a baggy shirt today, so I am not sure how often she will wear the brace.......

Even though I think it would be smart!

I need to look into finding one that will fit her.

This one is pretty big and digs into her hips.

*****

Elsie got to work on her homework with daddy.

Always a big hit :)

She just loves her daddy so much and he makes her giggle.

A lot.

Later, after we came back home and had dinner, we went outside.

It was a beautiful night.

We decided to do some work together as a family.

Nothing big.

Spraying some weeds, trying to hose out voles from their holes, and taking the ducks and goose for a swim in the canal.

It was a nice night.

Good to get out and feel a little bit back to normal.
