Busy at the table drawing.

The last movie we got to go out and see before the quarantine.  And let me tell you, it was surprisingly good!  We both loved it!

Our last sit down restaurant visit before the quarantine.  We went to Logan's for dinner.  Turns out it will be the last time we ever get to go to Logan's- it's now closed permanently. Too bad, I have some really great memories of that place!

Ledger going outside to play with one of the neighbor kids.  Ledge doesn't really know how to play basketball very well, so it was really neat to see Noah taking the time to show him some moves and include him anyway!

Ledger and Diana being silly with friends in South Bend.

Someone is pretty pleased to be eating macaroni and cheese!

He's actually excited to go out on his bike now!

A little bit of waffles and cartoons!

Showing off his jams!  They are way too hot for him, so I don't think he will be wearing them again...

even more yard work

Ledger came out to help for a while and it was sunny enough that even Diana came out to soak up some rays.

Well, I guess we have a concrete slab in our yard...

ledger's birthday 2

We've been giving him Minecraft minifigs every day this month leading up to his birthday, and today he got a cool case to put them all in!

Sorting them all so they are in just the right spot.

Ah, now this was the one thing he actually asked for: a plush golum from Minecraft.  It's a combination of two of his favorite things: it's got a snowmans body and a jack-o-lantern head!

His special cake.

Now that's a pleased 8 year old!

Mama especially liked the rainbow layers and confetti icing!

ledger's birthday 1

The little boy, excited to open up his gifts.  But first he had a card to open... and boy was it an awesome card!  I had found this funny card that played music and lit up.  It was a strange and silly song about 'space cats'!  At first he gave us a confused look on his face as he opened it, but once that song started, he thought it was hilarious!  He continued to play it randomly for the rest of the day!

Opening his prizes.

Checking out all the parts of his different gifts.

More prizes.

Now what's in there?

hallway decor

Now our hallway looks like a real family lives here!

We also took the opportunity to put up the painting Ledger had made in art class!

A great picture of Ledger being cute!

Going to see a movie with his friend Gage.

Can't miss out on an opportunity to ride Sandy!

Having fun at SkyZone!

Chowing down on some crisps at the Chinese food place.

Playing around with Desmond.

more artwork

Ledger decided to take some of the Star Wars characters and draw them as Rolly!  He's got the Sarlak Pit, a Stormtrooper, Boba Fett, An AT-AT, BB-8, R2D2, and a Porg.  What a goofy kid!

Another fine portrait of Rolly.

Ledger often illustrates word play, but this one really cracked me up.  This one is a play on the old game 'the floor is lava'.  So silly!

valentines concert

Brian up on stage crooning!

The happy couple!

At one point he invited his wife up for a duet (she's a great singer too).

Sing it, Brian!

valentines day dinner

Some of the delicious food we ate.

We were seated in the upstairs level, a table for two overlooking the whole place!

Now there's some yummy desserts!

A husband, proud that he was able to pull it off without her knowing.

A delighted wife, pleased that her husband gets her yummy food.

oscars!

The ballots and booklet I put together for the big show!

The tasteful decorations for the Oscar party.

I'm a little bit excited as I decorate the table for the snacks and such.

Now that's a pretty good looking spread, if I do say so myself...

Ledger getting a little snuggin time in with uncle James.

The big show!

Spent! What do you say, let's do it again next year!

see the art in me

The awesome art studio.

Ledger loved wandering around and checking out all the cool stuff around.

A work in progress, but after the first day it's looking pretty great!

The second week they returned to their painting and added a bunch of details.

One of the water colors he worked on.

cut it out

After the surgery he was asking a lot of questions because he wasn't exactly conscious while everything was happening...

A wheelchair ride to the car!

He wasn't feeling very good on the way home (he almost always gets car sick), but the drugs in his system sure didn't help.
