The Home Stretch

We've made it to the last week of school.  DeAnne's had a good year and she's mentioned to me several times that she's going to miss this group of kids.

I didn't get anything accomplished this past weekend.  We were so lazy Saturday it was sad.  But it's okay. Every now and then you just need a lazy Saturday.  It may be one of the last we get to enjoy for a while to come.

The baby countdown hit t-minus 60 days yesterday, so we've made it to 2 months to go.  After school lets out, I think DeAnne is probably going to seriously enter nesting mode.  We're getting close and without school to occupy her time or tire her out, she's going to have time and energy to think about what she wants done to the room and all before the baby gets here.  I'm probably in for a load of work the next couple of weeks.  I'm looking forward to it though.  I'm ready for Harrison to be here.  We've waited so long for this it's almost hard to believe that it's really so close to becoming reality.

One final bit of good news: Memaw should be discharged from the hospital today.  It'll be the first time she's been out of the hospital since Andalusia sent her to the Opp nursing home over a month ago.  UAB was able to put a stint in the narrowing of her intestine and that seems to have done the trick.  She's started eating again and she seems to be doing good.  She's going to be coming to the Andalusia nursing home for 20 days for rehab but hopefully after that, she'll be able to return to life as normal.  Thank you all who have prayed for her and please continue to pray that she regains her strength and is able to get back to normal.
