Summer to the Fullest!

Man, summer sure is a difficult time to actually sit down and write at a computer.  There is so much more to life!

I missed you last week.  Want to know what's funny about that?  Last Tuesday I started writing to you, but by Wednesday, I changed my mind and I never published.  

Ha!

So just let me say that I finally got my little boy back with me.  We have been having so much fun!

It's amazing how, when a mama gets a break to do all the other things she needs to do, after her child comes back, all she wants to do is spend time with them!

Well, at least I do.

Brady P. and I have been spending every day playing.  Playing in the yard, going on walks around town, throwing rocks, finding adventures and new trails for him to hike (he loves to hike!), being goofy and laughing our butts off.

One of his talents is to blow raspberries on my belly so slowly that it sounds like a Harley Davidson idling under water.  Hilarious!

Two nights ago, I laughed soooo hard that I shook to the core.  It was much needed.  So wonderful and so healing.

Thanks, Brady P!

The rare Lake Superior water zombie emerges!

So we are doing great, just in case you were wondering.  

I hope you are too!

We have also been doing schoolwork.  It's necessary, so he doesn't regress in his cutting, reading and writing.  Oy!

Yesterday we drove 7 hours to Marquette hospital and back just to have his new urologist read his ultrasound from our local hospital and ask me a few questions.  Kinda seemed like overkill, but B was great on the drive.  Whew!

And his kidneys look great!  Hooray!   Some kids need to go on dialysis after having the ureter issue he had after birth, but we seem to be on a good trajectory.  Nice!

If you're curious, it's berry season!  Bils, thimbles, dews and blues are out.  Raspberries are coming soon!

See you next week.  I hope!
