Visit from the Cousins

Ah, another month has come and gone..... We are slowly getting our lives back after this surgery. Lee just began to be able to bend his leg and be brace-free, though he is still on crutches and non weight bearing for six more weeks. However, this has meant no more CPM machine and some normal life back! He can finally shower on his own, and even drive! Hallelujah! Anyway, we are rejoicing in these small, but big steps toward recovery. Though there is still a long way to go, we are grateful to have the past 6 weeks behind us....

Anyway, this month we got to enjoy a 2 week visit from my brother, Brad, and his wife, Tanya, and their kids Brynn and Owen. They moved to Wisconsin a little less than a year ago, and it was the first time we have all been united. Aaron was in heaven to have his Brynnie and Owen around to play with....










We spent a great deal of our time at my parents hanging outside and enjoying the wonderful weather.....





And as you can tell from the pics, the kids spent a lot of time driving around a jeep my parents had found abandoned - a new battery and suddenly, hours of fun. Spending so much time watching them drive the jeep led to some creative ideas from the adults....



Noel certainly enjoyed and adored her older cousin Brynn - I think she especially appreciated having someone to do girly things with.....


Of course, she is still quite influenced by that brother of hers.....



She stays tough and doesn't let him get away with too much either.....
