he wears short shorts. no he really wears them.

i’m not exaggerating when i say i can barely turn a computer on. so imagine my sheer joy when my google-ness AUTOMATICALLY made a gif.

and i’m not exaggerating when i say i don’t know how to pronounce gif. i’m going with a hard “g”, like a lazy person telling me they got a me a present.

danny got a less short pair for dane,but only for dane. then this morning, cassady screamed  until i submitted to his one demand:

He loves his duckie.

He loves his duckie.

it’s officially a break.
cast for 3 weeks-ish. once again, he was a champ. actually, he was eventually a champ. there were tears in the waiting room most likely from me having to drag him and his brother cave-man style in the cold rain from the car to the office. cassady REALLY needs to learn how to walk already.
after the cast, we had breakfast at bette’s and a stop at the toy shop for a new dragon for bravery.

another terrible first

we had a trip to the e.r. friday night. dane was bouncing on a trampoline at our friend’s house and came down hard on his ankle. 

i didn’t see it happen but i heard the crying…which is nothing new so i wasn’t alarmed. i was more annoyed. danny and i both tried to get him to stop crying by threatening the doctor, which actually worked for a while.

he ate very little dinner and then began crying all over again and then he let me look at his ankle and it was the size of a baseball. 

we left our dinner party and headed to the e.r. where dane was such a champ. no tears at all and he even had a sense of humor. i was so proud of him.

he’s doing great so far. lots of movies and rest.

today, maybe

danny gets back today or tonight or in the middle of the night or whenever he gets here. 

it has been a long two weeks and i miss him so much. and the kids do too. 

he is going to be so surprised to see how much they’ve grown and how much cassady “talks” now. 

but mostly he’ll be surprised at this:

our new kitchen looks like a dream. i am so happy.

mother’s day.

i am always alone on mother’s day because danny travels this time every year. mother’s day has never been a special feeling kind of day. neither good nor bad, just a regular day. 

but this one was somehow different.

i had such a lovely day with the kids. every time dane did something funny, cassady dissolved into giggles. dane hugged me lots, then upon seeing this, cassady would come to me and smile and laugh and hug me too. they played with cars and ran in the sprinkler and dug in the dirt. we had ice cream and went on a bike ride.

i felt extreme gratitude for these little people and would be totally, completely lost without them.

my wish is for them to always know this.

This is the massive mission that lies before me. Put all this shit back.
