My camera is still at the camera doctor.  I’m hoping it can be fixed.  If not, I may hold a small gathering of spiritual people and lay hands on it.  It seriously needs to be fixed.

Yesterday in Harper’s folder I found a sheet she did in class.  I am at the point in parenting a school aged kid where you have to draw a line in the sand on what you keep and what you toss, in fear that your house will be overtaken with paper products.  I decided this was definitely a keep.

Amon is super hilarious on his little activity mat.  Sometimes he just won’t let go of the rings…even when he’s flipping over.  Maybe he’ll be a gymnast…rings being his specialty.

I opened the most amazing birthday package yesterday.  It was divine and filled with too many lovely things.  It was hard to pick a favorite item because they were all perfect and amazing and thoughtful, but this one had my heart.  Sara…I’m just not sure what to say anymore.  You are too good to me.  Truly, truly, thank you!

I’m about to get real.  Currently our sink looks like this…and has all day.  Did you mini throw up in your mouth about the milk?  I did.

Today was just one of those days that was long and makes you want to go to bed at 6pm.  We had doctors appointments starting at 9am and minus going home for lunch we were hanging out with medical professionals until 4pm.

Huddy was actually the first one up for a doctor’s visit today.  He has some kind of funk going on so he had to get blood drawn.  That part was not pretty.  We discovered that Huddy does not do well at seeing blood.  This was good to know later in the day when they took like 10 viles of blood from Amon.  #notexaggerating

He bounced back though.

We took a break at home for lunch and then hit the road again for Amon’s appointments at Vandy.  Before we left the boys were showing Amon his Dream Lite.  Dream Lites are the bomb.

Amon was amazing at all of his doctors visits.  I know I am a bit partial, but I just have never seen a kid be and act and do and handle and deal like he does.  He’s just simply amazing.

He has this pesky little blood clot in his jugular.  I know…seriously.  We were hoping after his ultrasound today that we would be done with his blood thinner shots.  Unfortunately, we had to get a refill.  I was a bit bummed, but we’ll talk with his team on Monday and decide our next steps.

When we were finally ready to leave Vandy for the second time today…yes, we left and then were called to come back in for his refill meds…Huddy, Sol and myself were done…and tired…and hungry.  After getting Amon’s prescription I hunted down some snacks.  I was super excited to find a spicy trail mix to help stabilize my emotions.  I’m so weak.

As we waited for valet to bring our car around for the 2nd time today, the boys entertained themselves with this fish.  I do so love Vandy’s children’s hospital.  It really is a gift.  Everyone is sweet and kind and goes out of their way to help.  I’m thankful we have this place for our kids.  It’s a blessing.

And maybe the most fun part of my day was an all day long text message with Courtney.  It all began way early this morning when I asked her to pick me up a headband when she went to Christmas Village tonight.  Several text messages later…all of which had nothing to do with the headband…she asked what my favorite color was.  I didn’t know she was asking for headband purposes.  And so began our entire day long text game of 157 questions.  It wasn’t really 157 questions, but that number was funny to me and it was a lot.  I now am confident Courtney and I could go on The Newlywed Game show and dominate.  Yes, it still exists.  No, I haven’t seen it.  Thank you Google.

Hope you have a great weekend.  Rest up.

Happy Friday.
