For the first few weeks after Brendan's surgery, I felt so overwhelmed, with caring for him full-time, and then having a houseful of sick people on top of that. But since everyone's well now, and Brendan's recovery is coming along beautifully, I feel like I can breathe a not-borrowed breath. And give you a quick update.
Plus, Brendan wanted me to share his progress photos with you. (I also promised to be real here, so. . . .)

My superheroes, and a winner!
Anyway, the kids had all planned to dress up as superheroes. At the last minute, the teen girls all changed their minds. Whatever.
not superheroes.
I'll just talk about the boys. . . .

Gratefully surviving, and a GIVEAWAY!
~~~ The giveaway is now over.~~~
I'm sorry I've been absent here lately. We've been in survival mode for the past few weeks. About a week after Brendan returned home from the hospital, every single kid, and that includes the husband, was sick. Bad Sick. Baby Henry had the Bad Sick plus ear infections, and is now on week 3 / round 2 of antibiotics to try to clear them up. I think (and hope and pray) that everyone is now on the mend. And for that, I'm so grateful.
Speaking of gratitude. . . .
