After the McEachin’s left we went to Urgent Care and then to the pharmacy to get Rivers medicine for his ear infections and croop.

The following morning, Rivers followed baby Thomases instructions and crawled for the first time. It was tiny knee steps, one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. We can’t wait to show Steve when he gets home.

Right after the crawl, Pauly, Hil, PJ, Lily, and Caroline arrived from Nola!

Steve, Blair, and Matt Blaine arrived home later that night from their 5 day Lewis and Clark adventure with Jay Rink and co, another ALS patient from Nola.

I got the stomache bug but was happy to have everyone home, even though Steve smelled pretty terrible when Blair put him in bed. Their trip was an awesome success – will write more about it later.

Sitting outside playing a game we invented.. Steve rolls around the circle and his opponent sees how many times he can hit him with his nerf gun.
Steve was too stealthy for some of us.
