a little r & r

Last week Branden had surgery.  He injured his right shoulder a couple of months ago.  I don’t know much about medical stuff, but basically they used a scope and instruments to sew down a big chunk of torn/misplaced cartilage (gross, i know)

Here’s us waiting for the surgery to start last Tuesday morning.  I really like this picture of us, especially Ethan’s face

So for the last seven days we’ve been home, all four of us  Haven’t done much, which has also been nice.  Ever feel like just staying home and hanging out with your family, nothing really on the calendar?

Branden’s in a sling (and wil be for about a month :/  But the boys have definitely enjoyed some extra time with him.  Here them during school together one morning

For the first five days Branden just slept.  He’s such a lightweight with heavy meds or anesthesia.  Seriously, this is him on the smallest amount of pain medication he can take – sleeping, for like 17 hours a day.

After a while, the boys just joined in

Amongst the perks of having Dad home was fancy breakfast every morning.  We do like decorating our food
Branden starts physical therapy in the morning and then heads back to work, but it’s definitely been nice having him recoop for the last week
