A Day At The Park

Filed Under: Family, Photography

Last Wednesday it was such a gorgeous day, we decided to take advantage of it and spend then day at the park. I didn’t feel like lugging around my DSLR so I used my iPhone to capture these memories.

The boys had a lot of fun. Someone had a little dog there that Dustyn played with most of the time. Carsyn enjoyed swinging for the most part, looking around, and watching Dustyn. I can tell that he wishes so much to be able to run around and play with his brother. I just hope that comes true.

He really is doing well. He is pulling himself to a stand on his little zebra ride on and sitting himself back down easy. He is also holding onto that really well these days. He does good pulling up on that because the seat keeps his legs from scissoring. His therapist and I have been talking about getting him a gait trainer (walker). Hopefully we can get that and he can learn how to use it so that he can have a little more independence. I know he wants to be able to move around on his own.

Linking up: Sweet Shot, 52 Weeks of Happiness and Communal Global

Thank you to everyone that has donated so far. I had no idea we would be this close to reaching our goal already, so thank you. You do not even know how much.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
