Today is a bit of a hard one to break down. With Rowan’s birthday approaching, he begged to celebrate over the weekend. Today we got up and he was eagerly chopping fruit in the kitchen. Brunch begun in the late morning, and while it looked and tasted absolutely delicious, a handful of us could hardly eat. There was an unfortunate sweep of nausea across many of us. It definitely turned out to be the right choice to split his meals over a couple of days. Nevertheless, the day moved forward, and Rowan is completely happy with how it went. I worried he’d be a bit let down, but nope, he is totally satisfied with day one of his three day birthday 😅
Brady, being the chemo guy, took a really nice long nap this afternoon, which I think many of us were fiercely jealous of, haha! He woke up all refreshed. Punk.

We finished off the day with leftover fruit salad and biscuits brought to our door, warm and fresh 💜 It really couldn’t have been timed out any better.
I will admit that I don’t feel especially strong today, but forward we move, no matter the circumstance. We are so incredibly fortunate to be cared for so well and to have things as good as we do. It is undeniable that God shows up for us absolutely endlessly, and for that, we are SO thankful.
Its going to be an early to bed kind of night, and I am completely here for it. As is Brady. And LD. And Laela. And Wavy. And Dekker. I think thats it.

Goodnight, friends.
