Healing

Michael has had a summer of healing. Although unable to do many things, like going outside for more than a few minutes, no swimming, no gymnastics, he has remained quite positive. Of course there were many grumpy days (for both of us) but it has to be said that he's been quite the trooper. We got to do a lot of arts and crafts, lots of reading, and lots of cuddling.

I can't believe school starts in two days. It seems like yesterday we were saying goodbye to it. They are both pretty excited to start and looking forward to new things. I can't really say that I am prepared yet. The first month of school for me is quite boring. No one to really talk to or do fun things with. Eventually you get used to it, but it just plain stinks in the beginning. But I suppose it will give me some time to do some much needed "end-of-summer cleaning".

Amber is taking a few dance classes now and they both start gymnastics again next week. Maybe some return to a "normal" kind of schedule will do all of our heavy hearts some good.
