Spending all our time with Grandpa B

We haven't disappeared, just been spending all of our free time with Chad's dad. Many of you know he has had cancer for several years now, what many of you don't know is that is it getting the best of him. I haven't really blogged about it because Brion used to check this blog faithfully, however, it takes all of his energy to get through the pain these days. Chad has recently become Brion's primary caregiver and has spent every single hour with him since Thursday. Kyan is with him and refuses to leave his dad and Grandpa B's side, even if it is to just run to the store to grab something quick. Lola and I have been commuting back and forth after school and spent the weekend with all three of our boys. It is very hard to leave each night, last night I ran home to drop off a few things, then turned right back around and we were able to spend the night. Back again tomorrow to do the same thing.

I captured a few family moments this weekend that I thought were very sweet.

Grandpa B's bedroom turned into the perfect spot for a movie. On the big screen: Bolt. Lola was right in the mix of it all and couldn't take her eyes off the TV. She would laugh whenever she heard Kyan or her daddy do the same.

Kyan has been amazing through these tough times and when I went to Target earlier that day I brought home a few surprises. A movie, some Reeses Peices, Popcorn, and his favorite cookies! Grandpa B's room turned into a makeshift movie theature. He was great about sharing his candy at first, but as you can see, Lola was after his food even when he wasn't looking!

Crashed out last night. My little angels. They were cuddled right up to one another. Lola ended up sleeping in her playpen for only a few hours, she woke up screaming at about 4am and Kyan woke up and tried to calm her down. Did the trick eventually, because she fell back asleep right by him. He was not phased for a second by her screaming, another way that he amazes me every day.
