Life...

I took this picture with my phone.

Yes. 

My phone.

A couple of weeks ago.

I posted it before 

but it deserves another post.

I'm so in love with this picture

(I really got lucky

and I'm easy to please).

Look at the beads of light on the fence.

I love the Dr. Seuss looking flower.

The sky is amazing

and the plants in the background are just perfect.

I love it and I'm not afraid to say it!

Anyway.

Back at the faux-mid-century-modern...

Davis still needs the wheelchair 

and is very bored.

We have tried to entertain

but that kid is 

voracious when it comes to curiosity,

need for projects and need for friends.

We can help with some of those things

but we cannot fully measure up.

He would usually scope the neighborhood

for friends or people to talk to

or things to do;

interspersed with his own projects 

that he comes up with every day

and then we have adventures together 

when he has exhausted all other avenues.

It's just not easy with a cast

and a wheelchair.

He gets to go get dirt for gold panning 

this weekend and he has been over-the-moon excited.

Jeff and our cute son-in-law 

will do all the work

(Davis will supervise)

so they can bring home dirt for him to pan

for the next couple of weeks.

Sheyla

(24 and our oldest)

may be having seizures.

 I took her to get an EEG the other day.

My mother was kind to come

early in the morning to be here with Davis.

We now have to take her everywhere

she needs to go

and she has school in the evening.

She had epilepsy when she was young.

Hopefully we find out next week

what is going on.

I've been so very grateful for Jeff

and all his help and support

and so grateful

that I can be home to take care of

 what needs to be taken care of.
