Update, Update, Update

We have now been home one week since Brandon's surgery. He is doing great. He had a checkup yesterday, and the doctor said that his heart sounded great, and his color and everything was excellent. We have been truly blessed by how uneventful the surgery and Brandon's recovery has been. If anything, I wish he had a little less energy. I feel like I am constantly telling him to take it easy. Luckily, the kids have 2 friends over to visit this week, and Timothy is helping keep Brandon relaxed by playing video games with him.

Thank you Sony.












In between gaming, Timothy sneaks in a cuddle with Ben. The cats have been spoiled with all the attention they are receiving from this loving little guy.










Much as I would like to keep Brandon laying down all day, that is not to be. Yesterday, the kids went out in the backyard and had a water gun fight. They all had a blast, and they were great about not squirting Brandon in the chest area.
Here they are getting prepared.













Here they are engaged in a full on water fight.













I think we have a little bit of conspiracy going on here.












Timothy having a blast.













We are so happy that Madeline and Timothy get to spend the week with us. Brandon and Timothy are about the same age, and Madeline and the girls are close as well. So everyone gets along really well, and they are all having a great time together.
Here is a pic of Madeline and Alyssa. Madeline has been so patient with Alyssa. The twins had to leave for a few hours last night, and Maddy was great. She played with Alyssa and really kept her occupied until the twins returned.








I almost forgot the play-do people. The kids were creating with play-do, and Brandon wanted pictures taken, after I explained that the people had to go back in the containers or the play-do would get hard.
So here are the play-do people.













So that is my update. Brandon is doing great, and so are the rest of us. We are having lots of fun with our company. It hasn't even been that hot the last couple of days, so I have been able to catch up my gardening. That blog will follow soon.
