We Moved!!

By
Our new living room

It went so smoothly we almost forgot.  On Saturday November 2nd we moved into an apartment in Englewood, CO just down the street from Craig Hospital. We signed a 3 month lease. We plan to be here through January 2020.  Kevin will continue his outpatient therapies at Craig Hospital. He also has access to the PEAK Center with a host of specialized equipment.

 Sean and Carolyn were both here to help us move into our new place. We had a family IKEA furniture assembly party.  We're happy to report we were able to put everything together in one day with no extra pieces and it all works!  

 Our apartment is right next to the supermarket and one block off Broadway where there are many shops and restaurants within walking distance.  We are enjoying exploring our new neighborhood, having some space from the hospital, cooking for ourselves again, etc.  We're feeling a little more normal each day.  
The Before Pictures

Moving day started with lots of boxes



Kevin learned that following IKEA's directions EXACTLY as written is a good idea!  



 

Sean has definitely done this before.  He put the bedroom and dining room furniture together in a flash!  









The AFTER Pictures






There are 4 chairs...the others must be camera shy 




Everything is all set up and ready to go!  We will be comfortable here for the next few months.

It's finally snowing here in Colorado and we're stuck inside, so why not update the blog?!?  Many of you have asked "when are you going to update the blog?" so hang on, this will be a long one.  The Sparknotes version is...we had a wonderful holiday season traveling to California for both Thanksgiving and Christmas and then back to Colorado to continue to focus on Kevin's rehab.  In between we're getting back to the "real life" as best we can traveling and spending time with our kids. Thanksgiving 2019 Home sweet home!  We traveled to California for Thanksgiving.  Kevin was happy to be in his own home for the first time since August 1st.  We were greeted by a beautiful "Welcome Home" banner courtesy of our wonderful friends and neighbors.  All three kids and Sinna were home to celebrate Thanksgiving.  We feasted on all the traditional Thanksgiving dishes, sharing the day with the Schnebles, Fators, Haneys and Marie Astrup.

Labor Day

By
Jenn & Jean came to visit Kevin spent the morning with two colleagues from Health Advocate, Jenn and Jean.  We all enjoyed a super-fantastic homemade peach pie from Jenn’s grandmother 's recipe.  Jenn was also celebrating her largest ever sale while at Health Advocate. Meanwhile our amazing neighborhood in Irvine had a "pot party" in our yard.  It was bring your own pot and take some succulent cuttings from our yard.  Look at the beautiful arrangements they made while maintaining our yard.  Thanks to all who helped!

Rain & Visitors!

Sorry these updates are a little out of order.   On Sunday September 8th, we sat outside watching the pouring rain and hail.  Only the people from California will understand why....we never see this kind of rain or hail.  Kim Morse came to visit for dinner on Sunday and then again on Tuesday Sept 10. Carolyn arrived on Monday September 9th.  Kevin enjoyed introducing Carolyn to the nursing staff and all his therapists.  They enjoyed Turkish food with Jess and Kim and Thai food with Sean and Jenn. It's raining, it's pouring!!! Rain is so cool! It's raining out so, we had pizza with Kim in the lobby Jess Dallas' friend Jenny works in the PEAK gym at Craig and was looking for him...small, small world! Kim Morse, Jess Dallas, Carolyn & Kevin enjoying Turkish food No question where her curly hair and smile come from....happy to see each other!
