Joys of Being a Mother

The last two days have reminded me of how much I love being a Mom.  Yesterday afternoon Brett, Cam, Meg and I spent the afternoon together.  Our first stop was the pet store as Cosmo and Apollo were both in need of having their nails trimmed.  The pigs may not have enjoyed the adventure, but it was fun listening to the Heinisch children talk about their many adventures pets in tow.  There was also the typical arguing about songs, movies and televisions shows.  No one ever wins these debates, but they sure make a lot of noise trying.  We were able to check out the black Friday comic book store sales before heading back.  All seemed happy with their purchases.  Even trying to find a car wash become a comical adventure for the four of us.

Today the four of us continued our adventures as we went to the matinee performance of the new Disney movie, Frozen.  I had my doubts about the movie, but fortunately I was wrong.  The movie was a great family film, and all of us were glad that we took the time to see it before Brett heads back to IU.  When we got home, Brett's friend Michael was here to visit with him for a couple of hours.  It is always nice to have the boys' friends here. Someone is always laughing.

Tonight we witnessed Cal make his debut on the basketball court after two months of rehab.  He was only in for two and a half minutes, but it was wonderful to see him be able to run again.  He even touched the ball a couple of times and got a shot off before the coach replaced him.  Definitely starting to move again - not quite a 100%, but closer.  Although I do not think I took a breath the entire time he was in, it was a nice moment to end a great couple of Mom days.
