Hardly Believe

it has been three years since Steve's dad passed away - it seems like it was just yesterday he was joking and laughing with the kids or giving me a hard time about something - it just amazes me how fast time really does go by. And how there are days that you never forget where you were or what you were doing when you got the call. I know he is in a better place along side dad waiting for us all to join them. But it doesn't make the pain of him not being here any easier. It is hard loosing someone you love.

Brayden's first couple of days are going good. He is adjusting as are we. I think the hardest thing for him so far is going to sleep. I am trying to get him into bed by 8:30 and with it still being light outside and his friends outside playing it is a struggle. Steve and I were laughing the other day in that I was looking at his math book and I told Steve we are going to have to start studying every night so we know how to teach Brayden - it has been a while :). The problem is trying to teach them the way school teaches them not the way we learned LOL. I say whatever way he understands it and the answer comes out right, that is what we should do!!

Logan is doing okay with Brayden not being around. He is love spending time with Grandma and Grandma by himself. He says he is happy he doesn't have to share with Brayden. They both love each other to death but you know how siblings are. On Monday when Brayden was getting off the bus he ran up to him and gave him a big hug and said he missed him! But it is nice for Grandma and Grandma to have one on one time with Little Logan. He isn't going to be little much longer.

I am missing volleyball again tonight - stinks. I am still not feeling well. I am still really sore and hurts to bend and move certain ways. When I called the doctor she said it could take 4-6 weeks instead of the 2 weeks that I had originally thought. My problem is I am feeling good and then I'll bend down and try to do something and then I realize Ouch, I just had surgery. I am not good at sitting around and let Steve do all of the work - just not my nature. But he yells at me to take it easy and that is hard to do.

Any whoo..... I hope everyone is having a great week and is enjoying the weather.

Happy Wednesday!!!!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love to all,
