Splinter

Rory calls Ian and Daron lots of things including
"My boys"
"Ibidibi"
"Ian and Deean"


The other day Ian had a teeny tiny splinter that had him sweating screaming and in true panic as I tweezed it out of his foot. He then hopped on one foot, wouldnt fall asleep and was convinced he couldnt walk for the next 24 hours. I love him - this made me laugh but it was very real in his mind. I promised him that I would always be honest with him and tell him if something was serious or not since he is going to panic one way or another.

Did i mention Daron is toothless? Someone said with his orange hair and scattered mouth that he looks like a jack-o-lantern.

I went to visit Ellie in the ICU this week. Very difficult to leave the family. Even tougher to be there with her - some images wont leave my mind forever I guess. But glad I went. Was somehow good to see her even struggling to mouth words to us through swollen lips.

Rory sings in the morning, sings on the toilet, sings to garbage cans. The boys find her funny.

Ian reads a ton, i just ordered Never Ending story for him. So so fortunate to be so blessed and to enjoy my children so much.

Daron tonight

Mommy can I have gum because usually I always chew the couch when I am near it – I don’t even realize
