- Things went smoother at home with Gracie's nurse and getting her off to school.
- For the first time in over a month, John and I got to take Preston to his swim lesson together.
- Preston ROCKED said lesson.
- The three of us had a breakfast date where our little man gave us a glimpse of how "refrigerator poor" we will be in just a few years by eating: Two scrambled eggs, two slices of bacon and three pancakes. (He had already eaten a bowl of oatmeal before swim lessons!) Good grief.
- After breakfast, the three of us went miniature golfing. It's the first time I've been able to go with them and Preston thoroughly enjoyed having both of his parents all to himself. John and I really enjoyed it, too!
- Gracie (and her nurse) had a really good day at school!!! (Woo Hoo!!!)
- The four of us played out front for the remainder of the afternoon... so fun. Gracie rode her trike for about 30 minutes and kept her clothes on the entire afternoon! (Shocking!)
- John made a wonderful, healthy dinner.
- While I cleaned up dinner and prepped meds & formula for the night and morning, John played with the kids and read them a few books.
- Chores and baths were done, lights were out and we were all piled on the couch for "Wipeout" at 8pm.

A Great Day

Hi Kristi,
I visited your blog this morning looking for inspiration knowing the Swann Family would deliver. My cousin Lisa's son Evan left the NICU towards the end of June at @ 7 weeks doing remarkably well. [Despite the size difference, he and Nathan look brothers.] Lisa posted to FB that Dylan, Evan's NICU neighbor, is undergoing his fourth surgery (second open-heart)today at five months of age. My first reaction to such news is always the same - "How do these children and their families do it"? This reaction is always followed by a visit to the Flock of Swanns, which answers my question every time. I am so very happy that Thursday was a great day for each and every member of the Flock. Please give my (our) love to John, Gracie and Preston. Thinking of you and hoping to see you guys soon. Big smiles, Jackie
I was so thrilled to read this latest posting - you have set me up for a much more relaxed and less preoccupied holiday weekend! So - a big 'thank you' to the whole flock! You have even managed to create a sunny warm morning in San Francisco, for the first time in at least 3 weeks!
So happy to read about your wonderful 1st of September, Kristi--it sounds like the perfect day! I'm so glad the nursing situation improved and that Gracie was able to go to school. Here's to many more great days to come!
Happy, joyful smile here! I know how you love Fall - what a great entry into the transition to your favorite season! I love lists - and this one created such lovely images of your day in my mind. I am extra happy to know Gracie had a good day at school and that the entire Flock played all afternoon together. Sigh! I love good days. xo
Yay for great days and here's to many, many more! You guys deserve it!
Love, Love, Love this post! Made me smile with happy tears. Sweetness. Felt like I was a part of a beautiful day. Like Hannah, I love good days....especially when those I care for are having them. Love to you all!!
Yaaay! What a GREAT DAY!!! Does Preston watch the Fresh Beat Band on Noggin? If so, please sing the following: "It was a great day! It was a super wa-ay,

Love you!
