Jeremy’s surgery was on the 11th – last Friday. I had to ask him what the date is today because I’ve lost all sense of time and perspective.
I knew Mom was going to be watching Satie and Sebastian in the afternoon because of Jessica’s trip to St. Louis. So I asked Mom if she wanted to take the kids to the park to get some fresh air and visit for a while.
The day was truly beautiful. The weather is unseasonably warm right now. Mom wore shorts to the park. When the sun began its descent, the temperature dropped a bit, so that’s why SJ is in a jacket.
She turns into a different person when she goes outside. The wind and the birds, the cars and the kids… They all overwhelm her senses and give her true joy. While the two older kids played on the swings, she just sat there. A pretzel in her mouth, she just took it all in. We took the opportunity to snap some pictures, and the park visitors around us just marveled at how much she was posing.
Yesterday’s out of the house was to Walmart. We looked at the baby shoes, and these had to come home with us. Can you tell she likes them?
Selah June thought that the tire swing looked really fun, and so Grammy started pretending to be a tire swing. Here is a video clip. [WARNING: This has been know to cause motion sickness.]
