Cruising Around and Heading Back to Jordan

This past week Nathan has been feeling better each day, and got out and about with his parents. Watch out, Nathan is on the go and was let loose in Walmart! 
When not in Walmart, they took drives around the country.

Stopped at one of our favorite places for lemon and raspberry ice cream....yummy!
One day they enjoyed a nice dinner at a new restaurant on Carlyle Lake
And a nice stroll on the dock.
Another day, they at the all famous Chicco's, that we love so much!
He even got to see some leaves changing colors too!
And people getting ready for Halloween already. Guess we need to start thinking about costumes this year!
Beautiful sunrise and sunsets each day.
Nathan got his hard cast off on Monday and is now in a soft cast. He still has to stay off of his foot for another month, but at least he can get a good shower now :). 
Nathan will be traveling back to Jordan tonight and arrives tomorrow afternoon. I know this time in Salem has been such  blessing to Nathan and his parents, and I am so thankful for the time they had together, all the great care they provided, and for the good few weeks of recovery. 
Before Nathan left, he made a paper ring chain with the boys. There was one ring for each day he will be gone, and every morning, the boys pulled off another ring. We have been counting down the days and this morning the boys said said, look mommy, there is just one more ring left! Please pray for safe travels for Nathan and for comfortable flights with his cast and crutches...and that his wheelchair will be waiting when he gets off the flight!  See you tomorrow, babe.

He is on his way. It was so good to have him recoup for a few weeks at home. Thanks for sharing. Love you all!

LOVE that one ring hanging! I'm sure the boys were so pumped. I am going to fake an injury to ride in that cart.... Grandma Rose style!
