Visiting Friends

-
We went down to the Chicago area in Mid-February to visit some Trisha and Kevin Johnson who live there with their 2 little ones (Cara and Ellie). We had a great time, but had to cut it short when Charlie came down with a nasty little fever and a yucky cough. But, in the meantime, he had great spirits and went to a wonderful children's museum. Here are some pictures of Charlie learning. He has a very intent face as though he were actually figuring it all out!

Grocery Shopping

Finally, a computer he can't break, or tear the X key off of!

Bright and beautiful smile.

He LOVES water and anything having to do with it!

Of course Mommy put Charlie on Stage!

....And we had to add some make up as well :)

While at first, her decline seemed rather mild, the past 6-8 months have been a steep downward fall. My father is still caring for her full time at home, but has now found a Memory Care facility to place her at as her needs are more than an 80 year old (or really anyone) man can handle. She is constantly confused, needs help or attention every 5 minutes and desires to sleep almost all the time. She has taken many falls lately and is losing other abilities as well. Of course, we knew this was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier. To say that my mom is still here is true, but she is a fragment of who she was. And this is where my grieving begins. My mother, Elaine Wanta, was nothing short of a miracle worker. I wish I knew or paid attention to more stories about her, but you know, we ar...
