Life at the Children's House & the Boys here!

Since we've been at the Children's House life has just been better.  Lily got to rest so much the first couple days.  We both slept a lot and were just lazy, which was kind of amazing.  I never get to do that.  Then we worked on little milestones for Lily, like putting clothes on finally (including undies hooray!) and walking more. We also figured out how to manage the tubes pretty good. Since we have to lug around a few tubes and urine bags, we needed to put them in something to get around.  My sis-in-law sewed us the most darling purse to keep them in.  It's absolutely perfect, and we have gotten lots of compliments!  Here she is starting to get around

Then Monday night Benny, Connor, and Dallin arrived!  I wish I had gotten pictures of them giving Lily big hugs!  They had come on a perfect night.  That Monday night there were a few family activities going on here.  So we were downstairs with a big group of kids frosting sugar cookies and the boys walked in!  They joined right in and made cookies with us.  It was also "therapy dogs" night, so there was the sweetest dog to go pet and play with. The house was full of kids and we had a great time. We showed the boys around too, and where all the games were.  They say this is the coolest place, and wish they could stay longer.
Ever since the boys have been here, Lily has been improving everyday. She's getting around more and loving playing with them!  We have had a busy week with them here. Including squeezing in a few doctor appts, which all went good. It has been great being all together, especially for Thanksgiving week. A few things we have done while they have been here
