Friday evening at home… What a lovely time we’ve had. Derek requested one of our two traditional supper menu options: matzo ball soup and smoothies. He helped me make both. We ate it with candlelight and our special Sabbath song. Later, Kristen played duets with me on the piano while we all sang together. It is so nice to be at home together again.

I think one of the things Derek is enjoying the most about being home is being able to do something useful. He is such a little worker. I think he missed working more than anything while he was in the hospital. He helps me sweep, put things away, and cook. Just about whatever I am working on, he asks to help. Even with all the new toys he has received, Derek tells me he has nothing to do if there isn’t some job he can help with. Did I mention that it’s good to have him home again?
