April 4: David took Grace to the Timbers game tonight in my place which left Ethan and I at home unable to find the game on the tv or online anywhere. We settled for listening to it live on the radio and watching Twitter and MLS Live feeds for replays. I miss my Timbers games!
April 5: Easter! My Mom brought Easter dinner down with her after church and we enjoyed the feast (and the leftovers the next week!) very much. She also brought a dozen hard boiled eggs for each of the kids to dye which they enjoyed.
April 6: Ethan is a great kitchen helper, he helped cut up the leftover Easter ham while Daddy attempted making scrambled eggs. Breakfast for dinner!
April 7: Dexter is my constant companion these days, he’s always trying to get on my lap.
April 8: Grace is still obsessed with her Tomodachi Life game on the DS, she plays it almost every day.
April 9: David grilled cheeseburgers for dinner the first night his parents were visiting, tasty!
April 10: Had Ethan bring me my macro lens to get some photos of the pretty purple tulips David bought me.
April 11: David let me bring my camera to Grace’s soccer game today since my inlaws are visiting and volunteered to carry my rather heavy camera and long lens combo. It’s all I can do to crutch through the bark dust and grass to the field!
April 12: Dexter sitting on the couch arm right next to me gazing out the front window.
April 13: David got a new video game and was so excited to play it tonight after the kids went to bed. He’s been working so hard taking care of us he totally deserved a break!
April 14: Dexter all curled up asleep while David played his game and just before I took my walker to bed.
April 15: The antique bowl my grandmother gave me full of delicious apples in the late afternoon sun.
April 16: My exhausted mother-in-law at the end of a busy day hauling kids every which way to soccer, baseball, and Girl Scouts. She’s been taking care of us while David has been on a work trip this week.
April 17: Dexter looking up at me trying to decide if there’s a spot to jump up on my lap. There was.
April 18: I’ve been doing a lot of reading lately and am very appreciative of the huge stack of books my mother-in-law brought me! My favorites so far have been the Outlander series…finished book 3 and have books 4-6 on hold through the library!
April 19: David bought 2 Ikea dressers yesterday after dropping his mom off at the airport and spent a good chunk of the day today putting them together.
April 20: Yellow tulips this time decorating the mantle along with my Get Well cards 🙂
April 21: David is headed off yet again on another work trip, Aunt Diane is coming back for the second time to babysit the kids and me. This is work trip #3 since I broke my ankle.
April 22: I’ve been wiggling my toes a lot and moving them around to help improve my toe stiffness and flexibility. It’s the only part of my foot I can work with while in my cast.
April 23: This is the cross Denvy made for me from construction materials he took from the Honduras missions trip we went on last summer. Seems like such a long time ago when I was physically able to do things like haul wheelbarrows full of gravel up and down a steep hill!
