Graduation

Maximus graduated from The Children's Center this afternoon. I wasn't allowed to photograph any children, so I got one with his wonderful therapist, Eve, and his teachers, Liz and Ashley. His therapist, teachers, volunteers, therapy we received as a family and his own personal growth has been exceptional. That place is a miracle. I ordered cookies from Whole Foods and brought them in with parachute men toys. It's a sad day, but in a good way. That boy tries so hard and he's doing so well. 

School Shopping

He did a mighty fine job at H&M picking out school clothes. 

Love Date

Heather and I take the kids out and Maximus calls it "love date". These kiddos adore Heather. Ingrid wouldn't let go of her after dinner. 

Back to Life Without Dad Home

Evening trail walks

Tour of Utah race!

Pretty with a butter biscuit 

We go for evening rides a lot. 

I finally finished that crochet blanket!

It gets used a lot. 

After school 

Beans!

Ingrid and Lauda watching their brothers play football. 

The team!

Date night with my Heather. 

Oven, bread machine, toaster, stovetop. She knows good stuff comes out of them. 

Evening walk. He was struggling. 

So he napped the next day before school. 

She always wants to play and they ignore her, so she just watches. Sort of sad and funny at the same time. 

This morning. 

Coffee table yoga. 

Dad's Home! (For three days)

Ingrid was his little velcro. He thought she would have forgotten him. 

Jesse came straight from the airport to Maximus' flag football game. 

We golfed daily. 

6am goodbye hug before heading to the airport. 

Kissing Biggie bye at the airport.
