Well, we had Memorial Day weekend. Chad’s mom and dad were visiting from Texas, and it is always good to see them.
Sweet mom, enjoying her strawberry milkshake at Dan’s Dogs.
And Grandpa Doug, who is keen to spoil Aiden at any given moment. Not that Aiden minds.
The weekend was cool but beautiful. We did a lot of work outside involving tons of gravel and dirt, which is my favorite thing in the whole world. For real.
But then, Sunday afternoon, Aiden fell and smacked his head on the driveway, and we ended up spending our evening at the ER.
Two staples in his head later, we were good to go. Of course, I had to scour the town for children’s acetaminophen without artificial color, but I won’t get into that. Thankfully, he hit his head in all that new gravel instead of the concrete, so instead of a concussion, he had a big gash. But I will take a big gash over a concussion any day. We are considering a helmet for everyday use, though. ![]()
And that is what has been going on around here. Good times!

Gashes in the head and trips to the ER are so rough! Hope everyone continues to feel better!
