One day at a time

Despite Penn’s health situation, there are two items we strive to accomplish every day:

1) Regular routine

2) Sense of normalcy

So while we anxiously await on Penn’s pathology results, we’re spending tons of time with the girls. We asked Paige and Penn what they wanted to do and we created a list. You all know how much I love lists! This is what they came up with:

• Go to the playground

• Eat ice cream 

• Eat chips 

• Have a picnic 

• Ride in the wagon

• Throw rocks in the river

• Blow bubbles

• Make some art

There were days we spent at the neighbourhood park and it felt like an ordinary day. We would have the playground to ourselves and there would be no line up for ice cream. Penn usually wears a hat outside and there would be moments as if surgery never happened. Despite Penn’s preliminary diagnosis, we’re determined to focus on all our wins. Our new mantra is taking it one day at a time. Plus, there is nothing that bubblegum ice cream can’t fix. And yes - all photos below, were separate ice cream occasions.
