as we enter august, it's crazy how quickly the summer is passing, but this year, it can't be quick enough. evan has been nursing his crushed heel bone since mother's day, which has meant surgery, crutches all summer and no driving. while carpooling to work (and daycare) has been nice bonding time, it gets a bit tricky working our schedules to both map to greta's drop off and pick up times.
evan's most recent visit to the surgeon was positive. he was happy with the progress of healing and said that it was further along than he expected. physical therapy started last week and although painful, has been helpful in starting to get the range of motion back and breaking up the scar tissue on the muscles that got damaged from the fall. the next step is for evan to get back behind the wheel!
greta is doing great. she picks up new words every day. her current favorites include "how are you?", "go, go, go" and "stop". of course these haven't supplanted the all time favorite "doggy". she loves carson - calls him when he's not in sight and gives him orders when he's around (down and come are her current commands, which he usually ignores).
we are coming to an end of the visitors for the summer. both sets of grandparents have visited this summer to play with greta and help us out with evan on the injured reserve.
