We're back: A belated 2nd Birthday buns post!

Amos made quick friends with Inky the Octopus.  (He is also a huge fan of the wall-to-wall carpeting in Mom and Dad's sun room.)

Naomi was doing her best to snuggle her new friend, Ducky, and claim my knee scooter for herself.

After breaking my ankle on Feb 3rd, big human rushing back from his work trip on Feb 4-5th, Dad's passing on Feb 8th, ankle surgery on Feb 13th (I've now got a bionic ankle with a metal plate and 7 screws), three weeks stuck on the loveseat keeping my leg elevated while trying to help settle some of Dad's estate stuff from out of state, a couple physical therapy sessions, and a week back in Ohio before more physical therapy and a 2nd post-surgical follow-up, it's been a long few weeks!  I just wanted to thank all of you for your kind words and support for all we've been going through.

We're back!

Love makes even the toughest times a bit better.

Losing a parent is hard and I wanted to thank you all for your kind words and support over the past few weeks.

Mom would always get a chuckle out of Simon and River's antics, so I have to share one that was referenced in many a phone call after it happened.   Mom and I were about to hop off the phone one day when River apparently had strong opinions about something and decided to just start talking to herself...loudly.  Mom heard the weird combination of sounds in the background and mistook it for Big Human saying something.  It became a running joke from that point on that Big Human sounds like River.
