Poor Emmett had a rough evening that ended with his finger accidentally being shut in a door by Elliott. He's okay but it obviously hurt and I'm amazed that he fell asleep tonight. Lizze read him Harry Potter until he was out. ☺ This was how we ended our rather tiring day. I didn't realize how much the eighteen hour drive took out of me. I was pretty active yesterday but feel sorta rundown. I think that as the week goes on, things will improve. I'm feeling optimistic about that. One of the things I did begin doing was unpacking. We got home at 3 AM on Sunday morning and managed to get everything in the house, where it just sat until last night. I started going through all the…

The van has been returned and I'm super sad. It was an amazing van and it's tough to go back to driving anything else. At the same time, we picked up Maggie from the kennel and now I'm really happy. It's not like I can drive Maggie around town like I could that 2016 Toyota Sienna, but I can snuggle the Sienna like I can Maggie.. Seems like a fair trade... ☺ https://youtu.be/lWkvcgKEuW0

My main goal for today is to simply unpack and get back to life. We were too tired yesterday and frankly, today isn't much better but we want to keep moving forward. ☺

The whole time I was driving home from Florida, I kept feeling something climbing on me but never saw what it was. I sorta thought it was my imagination after awhile and I dismissed it. While I was cleaning the van out after we got home, I found what had been climbing on me throughout the drive home. Turns out I wasn't going crazy. lol

Hello everyone. We finally made it home from Florida, after a long drive. Both Elliott and Emmett have gotten sick and as a result, we had to cut our stay in Charlotte, NC short. The boys wanted to get home as soon as possible because they were miserable. I'm hoping that they feel better soon but it doesn't look like they will make it to school on Monday. Before closing this post off, I truly want to say thank you to Wishes Can Happen for making Gavin's wish come true. We really can't adequately express our gratitude for the kindness extended. This was truly a once in a lifetime experience and it was amazing. I encourage everyone looking to make a contribution to something positive to both check out and…
