We are slowly making progress and getting back into routine. While we are still taking one day at a time we are finally getting back into a schedule that the boys recognize and that I can tolerate. MeMe went home on Wednesday and Karl came home on Tuesday. So the boys were sad to see MeMe go home but very glad to see Karl come home. They have been enjoying all the attention that they are getting from Karl.
Braxton playing with his tractors and legosAndy is making a lot of progress with his knee, he had his first physical therapy appointment on Monday and goes back again tomorrow. The therapist gave him quite a few exercises to do at home. He has been working real hard on doing everything he is told to do. The boys of course want to help in every way. They do what they can to do the exercises with dad three times a day. Andy went back to work yesterday and today. He is doing well and working more than I think he should - yet. He knee was pretty swollen at the end of the day both days. He was in some pain both days as well. I think he is going to take it at little more easy tomorrow.
The boys helping dad with bending.
Time to move - this is getting a little boring.
Look at the bend on that knee. The PT said that we needed to get to 110 degrees in 6 weeks at the first visit he was at 85 she said Andy would get there quickly and with out much trouble. He was at 0 degrees with out any trouble (that is really good - 0 is what I had the most trouble with)
Braxton using dads yellow band to work out his knee. He thought the helmet, tool belt, suspenders, and car were also necessary.
Braxton enjoying a little time outside in the snow. This was the day before we hit those really cold temps of 10 and below. The boys are really ready to get out and run. We are suppose to get in the 40's on Saturday and we have plans to get outside.
Dad and Braxton enjoying time together at home and watching some TV
MeMe and the boys playing with Lincoln Logs - the Lincoln logs have been a big hit but they are frustrating because they fall really easily and I send the whole time building, but at least the boys have fun
After the frustration with the Lincoln logs we moved on to bigger and more sturdy items like legos. While you can still destroy they stay together a little longer than the Lincoln logs. They boys were having a good time.
Dad and Brazos enjoying some time together as well.
I am just amazed at how fast time seems to be flying. We are two weeks away from the arrival of Brayson. I know things will be changing again real soon. We are ready in some ways and not so much in others. I am still taking two non-stress tests a week and I have had two of the four weekly appointments. I had a check up today and all is well. We are on track for a delivery on Jan 17 unless he decides to come early (I am not sure I would be ready for that at this point).
God is so good and I am so thankful for all the things he is doing in our life. I am glad that he uses all situations to teach us that we are not in control but that HE is. I am thankful for friends and family that come to support and help with out ever being asked. I am thankful for a loving husband and two wonderful boys. God is so good.

What schedule indeed? Each day with little ones has its own personality--or that's the way it always was for us. It looks like the boys have a great time playing out in the snow. Thankful that Andy's condition is improving.
Lyneil, it is really fun to see pictures of your boys playing. They will be such good friends with so many sweet memories when they are grown. I know that Brayson will fit right in. Praying for an "uneventful" two weeks until he arrives!
I LOVE the snow picture! I mean, I love all the pictures, but that one just stands out! Girl, enjoy these next 2 weeks, try to get some rest. Glad Andy is doing well!
