Right in the heart of Adeline's illness, she found the energy to follow Lila downstairs and into the office where I had pulled out last years clothes for ebaying. Each reclaimed their hats and were sitting in the dark (the flash lit things up), side by side with them on. Adeline's hat pretty much tells how she was feeling. I rare moment of quiet "twinship."
Literally hours before I was taken down by the illness, I found a great buy at Target. A tent and sleeping bag for less than $8.00. I worked hard to ignore the "character factor." I was just thinking about transitioning Savannah to a sleeping bag for the beach this summer and figured this would be a good trial run. We brought it home and Savannah packed up for a pretend camping trip, food and all. The camping trip was cut short by her need for a very long nap.
Here are a few pictures from yesterday where we all pretended to feel fine, put on normal clothes and ran errands. We were completely exhausted when done. The pictures are proof that we are on the road to recovery.
