Trains, Clean House, and Stained Glass

When I walked in the door after we were discharged early from the hospital in May because Chan's counts were low I was greeted with a completely clean house.  It was spotless, vacuumed, dusted, cleaned, scrubbed etc.  Every bed in the house was made and it was a much needed boost after the frustration of having to leave the hospital earlier then planned and having two days at home before going back.  I will forever be grateful to the family who cleaned my house - because it was really really dirty, and because it put a huge smile on my face after such a frustrating event. 

The family also left a present for the kids.  
They play with this train set non-stop and actually play pretty well together with it.  They LOVE it, and I love that it keeps them all happy and occupied.  The family also gave each of the kids train whistles which the boys think are the coolest thing ever, and amazingly I have yet to ban them because of the noise :)

Jakob was sure glad to see Chan, and Chan was so happy to see Jakob.  Channing was most excited about sharing his treasure box toy with Jakob.  Chan choose a stained glass paint set.  There were 4 things to paint and the boys each did two.  They had a blast painting and I enjoyed seeing their smiles as they made a mess together.
