Homecoming and Weekend of Visitors!

What a great weekend we had! The kids came back Saturday morning. We missed them so much! We spent a great day just hanging out together and hearing about all of their fun adventures in Idaho. They loved the story about the Lovebugs too!

Trent is doing better each day-with minor setbacks here and there. He is mostly coming along very nicely but has struggled a little with bouts of pain and soreness. Not too surprising considering the surgery he had! He is very diligent about doing laps around the basement and doing his exercises from the physical therapist. He is now able to stand up-after I have gotten him to a sitting position-and get himself back to a sitting position again. He has done the big long staircase a few times now and usually does pretty good.

We had a fun surprise visit from my Aunt Gayla and my cousin Austin. They showed up with some awesome looking pizzas and cupcakes! It was really fun to talk to them. I haven't seen them for quite a while and it is nice to have great family support.

We also had Trent's brother and his family here to visit. They brought out kids back from Idaho and spent the afternoon with us. It really helps Trent to be so close to his family. We love that our kids get to be close to their cousins too.

Trent's cousin from Ohio stopped by on his way to Oregon and spent a couple of hours with him. They enjoyed telling stories from their childhood and reminiscing the 'good old days'. I have to admit I really love the visitors too. It really gives us both a boost to share moments with friends and family.

Trent and Scott

While all of the visitors were fun, I think this little guy was Trent's favorite. Since he has been home Jonathan has been all over Trent. He is the spitting image of him and definitely the same personality. What a cutie!
