Don't sweat the small stuff

I've been asked about some other daily issues of late so I thought I would do a post about these things that keep me going on a daily basis and help me remember there is more to life that than waiting for a particular doctor call, test results, etc.

The Babette blanket is coming along pretty well. I am part-way through Panel 7 so I just took a photo of panels 1-6. It's exciting to see some progress now. Working on it is an excellent distraction from the pain and for the most part I look forward to each and every square.


Collin wanted terrible to help me with the blanket and eventually I had him sit with me and "help." My friend took some pictures but I just now saw this one while uploading and is sure one of my favorites, his little hand in mine.


We do not have Meg's CPAP yet due to paperwork problems at the hospital. And thus, we continue to watch this 5 year old munchkin throw herself around as she tries to find air. Here, she lifts her head up and backwards so she can breathe, at least until her head falls back down. This is all done in her chopped up version of sleep.




The kids had their first baseball game today. Well Collin played in the spring but this was Meg's first game, ever. They both hit coach-pitch, both times at time.
