The best boys

I snapped these pictures the first morning we were home from the ski trip.  Both boys snuggled in bed with us and put on their new t-shirts from Vail.  I think they were very excited we were home!

 

The first day the boys came home after my surgery, Mac got to spend quiet time in bed with mommy.  I was so happy to see him after two days away. 

Albi had a lot of talks with the boys after we got home from Colorado about being big helpers while Mommy’s leg was hurt.  Three weeks later I can say they both really stepped it up – Mac especially.  Mac has carried more glasses of water and cups of coffee for me than I ever imagined possible.  He has been the best helper, and in all honesty, Albi and I were both very surprised.  Then again I don’t know why.  If you give Mac a challenge he generally beats it.  This challenge was no different.    

Every morning Copeland asks me, “Leg better, mommy?”  The first few nights after the surgery when Coe and I would say prayers I would add at the end a request that God help heal my leg.  The first night when I said Amen and didn’t mention the leg, Copeland quickly said, “mommy make leg better.”  I quickly asked God to heal my leg quickly and then Coe was willing to say Amen! 

If I have learned anything during this journey so far, it is that I have the best boys ever – all three of them.  Good thing since the Dr told me today that I have at least 4 more weeks on crutches with no weigh bearing…ugh!

Sometimes being a big helper will wear you out!
