Another day at home

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

So Kim has to work today, making Saturday and Sunday her work days this weekend, no fun. Emily has hard a tough couple of days, another ear infection coupled with a cold and congestion has made her a shell of herself, her little cries and yells are just pitiful. Plus the augmentin gives her nasty diarrhea, which has led to hellacious diaper rash. So it has not exactly been a relaxing couple of days. The funeral for Randy was OK, I actually missed the service with Emily in the back but I did attend the celebration of life, which went well.

But Emily appears to back to her old self, at least partially today. She is roaming around the basement while James plays pool and Daniel watches and gets in the way. So I am hoping for a more normal day at home, with the kids being able to just play while I putter around, get a few things done and watch some football.

One moment from the bar that really stood out was I got stuck in the corner to eat and I looked up at the small table where the rest of the family was and saw Connie smiling and laughing while joking with her 3 kids and various grandchildren. And I realized what a special person she is, and how much family can mean in a moment like that.
