It is crazy to think that it has been 6 weeks since Mike has been home. Our goal date for Mike to be home was Halloween. We would tell the boys, maybe by Halloween dad will be home. We have been able to pick out pumpkins, carve them, go on family walks, play games, read together, and live life together all before Halloween came.  Mike is doing so well I literally sit in awe sometimes and catch myself forgetting that this all happened. The physical scars are a reminder of the fog that was August and September. Mike is walking over 10,000 steps a day and is still at a level 1 Rejection. The doctors have started the very slow process of weaning him off his steriods...half a pill to start with! With Mike's new weight bench he is smashing leg and arm days. He is working his way up to visiting with people and getting out in the town. He even completed a little Honey Do List for me recently. He is getting anxious to start some work again and maybe head back to working at home mid Decembe

 This past week was filled with adventure, firsts, and movement forward! The boys are finally healthy...except for a lingering cough. This means that we can finally be all together in the house. Eating meals together, reading the bible together at bedtime, and just enjoying each others company. We took this opportunity to reset and make it a no technology week, the boys did not like this idea but it worked out so well! We were able to focus on just being a family and not worry about the other stuff. Mike and the boys watched football together, played games, went on walks/bike rides, and helped with homework....Mike has the math brain in this household!  Mike and I were able to take a trip to Grand Haven and enjoy the last 78 degree day of the year. We ate at our favorite bakery, Village Baker, and enjoyed some of the best soft pretzels I have ever tasted. We walked downtown and window shopped, and enjoyed a stroll on the boardwalk before having lunch on the beach at Noto's. It was

 A lot can happen in just one month; milestones, anniversaries, life, death, love, loss. But with this past month we celebrate 1 month with a new heart!  This past week has felt like a few weeks for the Neubert Family. Blake continued to go to school despite his barky cough and Easton stayed home with a never ending fever totalling 10 days. After some blood tests and a chest x-ray Easton was diagnosed with pneumonia. They went ahead and treated Blake for pneumonia as well. After a couple days of antibotics the boys are starting to feel better and Easton's fever seems to be dwindling. The beautiful weather has allowed us to go on walks as a family and sit outside on the patio. It has helped to get some fresh air and feel the sun shining on us. Hopefully next week both boys will be back at school and we can figure out a new routine.  Mike's heart cath, echo, and biopsy went well this week. No major changes from the week before and still at a level 1 rejection. His blood pressure
