Back to norm.

Jared got to pick Caden up from school today.  Typically he almost always does.  2 leg surgeries kept him from being able to literally pick Caden up for 3 weeks.  Then, good 'ol jury duty crept in and prevented him from being able to pick him up from school yet again. 

But today Daddy got to pick CW up.  "Daddy picky me momma?"  Yep, Daddy picks you up after school tonight, Buddy!!  So cute.

It was back to the norm.  Funny how good that can feel :).

Meet Vet Caden

CW had a sleepover at Grammy and Grandpa's last night and spent the day with Grammy today.  When I got home from work and Jared headed off to youth group, it was time to play "docca" (doctor), have a dance party, and jump in a pile of pillows and stuffed animals.  Big night.  All Caden's idea :).  "You pay me??"  His new request for you to play with him.  Who can resist it??  Love it.

Bampa picked up today.

Grandpa picked Caden up from school today, as Jared was on jury duty and I was at work.  Grammy met him there to show him the ropes.  I had told him last night that 'Bampa' would be picking him up today.  "Gammy too?"  Yep, Grammy too.  "And Gamma?" No, Grandma got to pick you up last week, remember?  "Ya, kay mom."

Well, when Mom and Dad got there to get him, Caden gasped and held onto 'Bampa' so tight.  The teachers said all they had heard all day was how "bampa picky me up."  Everyone knew Grandpa was coming today :). 

Mom asked if he wanted to show Grandpa some of his friends.  He thew his stuff back down and said, "Oh ya, kay."  Ran over to Thatcher, sat down on the floor by him, put his arms around him, and said, "Thatchy, my bampa.  See?  My bampa Thatchy!"  So cute.

Thatcher has special needs and cannot talk or walk, although he is a little older than Caden.  The teachers said he is so good with Thatcher and watches out for him.  So sweet.

He is spending the night at Grammy and Grandpa's tonight, as Grammy has the day off tommorow and they are going to hang out.  Love that boy.

All Morning Outside.

Yep.  We spent the entire morning outside today.  Like, 3.5 hours.  Caden was loving it, and so was I.  2 walks with the wagon.  2 walks with the stroller.  Playing in the backyard.  It was great.  What month is it again :)?!?!?!

Grandpa's Workshop

Buzz lost one of his feet in a 'Buzz vs. Ceramic Tile at lightning speeds' incident a few weeks back. Grandpa said he could fix it for Caden. Caden couldn't get over there fast enough to give "Bampa" Buzz's shoe and Buzz. And then the fixing began......

Caden gets nervous that glue gun is a drill and is

going to be too noisy, haha.

Sign we got 'bampa' for Christmas....seems appropriate!!

Happy to report Buzz made it through surgery well.  Foot attached once again.  Was able to return home with us tonight.  Is currenlty sleeping on our living room floor.  Good work, bampa!!
