Saturday-Lunch on the Terrace....

When we pulled up to the rehab hospital today, Jamie (and Dad) were waiting for us out front! It was such a great surprise to see Jamie hanging out outside enjoying this nice weather. He told us that he was working Dad out having him wheel him all over--they even went down to the bridge in front of CMC!

We brought cuisine ala Chick fil A and all of us (including Oscar and Henry) all ate together out on the patio. I know this doesn't sound like too big of a deal, but it was nice to feel so 'normal' and so wonderful to see Oscar and Jamie sharing a pack of nuggets together. Since Jamie's getting so much stronger, and sitting up regularly you can also get in and get a good hug which is fabulous--Oscar and I got some good ones in today!

When we were walking back to Jamie's room, Dad challenged me to a race--he with Jamie and me with my double stroller, however after he told me that he'd already taken someone into the wall that morning and that he'd happily take us into the wall in order to win, we retreated back!

He was going to have a shower this afternoon--so all in all a good day!

Isn't it amazing how the simple things in life truly are the most important? Fast food lunches, stroller races, gorgeous weather, 2-armed hugs! How joyful! Love to all, m
