High Five for Friday (10.18.24)

 


One

My BIL, Grant, and his girlfriend fiancé, Kayla, are engaged! We adore Kayla, and are THRILLED she will officially join the family this coming summer. 



Two

We missed them here, but my parents were in northern Wisconsin when the Northern Lights were visible last week. SPECTACULAR.



Three

Will has been granted permission to start easing back into legitimate physical activity! For the last six weeks, he's only been allowed to bike and do his PT exercises. These limitations have been tough to navigate, so the fact that he's now working disc golf, running, and agility back into the mix, with ball work soon to come, is lifting everyone's spirits.

At PT on Monday, we were about to leave when Will's PT decided to add some basic agility training to his daily exercises. She explained to Will how to move his feet through the "ladder" on the floor (picture provided below for those of you who haven't done this kind of exercise or training), and then did a quick demo. Will stepped up to the ladder, paused, and then raced through the exercise like it was his job - the PT actually exhaled "WOW" and then commented, "well, that was impressive." When we left, Will was actually a little confused about her response - I had to explain to him that few people outside of soccer players can move their feet that fast...


Four

Feeling grateful for the many pieces that have fallen into place these last couple of months...




Five

Fall break, you were glorious. Too short, but glorious.

This is Teaka. We fostered her (her name was Bob back then) when
she was itty bitty, and now I get to hang out with her when her family goes
out of town. It's taken a while, but I think we've finally become best friends.

This kid is my favorite Consol football fan.

With hot drink in hand and by wearing her Comfy, she's
willing fall to arrive. (If we're being honest, she'd really
like winter to arrive. But she'll take fall while we wait...)

It worked! For a couple of days...

Blep 😍

And snuggling with his hamburger. He usually
needs a nap after playing with his bobby pins. 😉

Happy weekend, friends!
