(Extra) Special Delivery

Last Friday morning, we went down to see T'ck in our PJs. Sean had mentioned earlier that week he was bringing Emmett a bobcat for the weekend. We saw him at the house that morning and he said it was all set-when the guys were done that afternoon with them, they were going to drop off a bobcat AND an excavator!!! By the time we got back to grandma's house twenty minutes later, there was already a bobcat waiting!!!  Just like the trolley ride, which had been on Monday of that same week, this was another much needed pick me up.  Couldn't have been better timing to have another fun distraction after receiving the disappointing MRI results and being faced with some difficult decisions.  We are again amazed by the kindness and extent 'stangers,' who are now dear to us, will go to in order to make a little 2 year old smile. We cannot say thanks enough.  This was the weekend right before Emmett's 2nd birthday, so it made a great addition to birthday excitement.

Emmett down at T'ck with a toy truck

Emmett got a smirk on his face when he saw this in the yard.  They later found a button that makes the reverse warning sound or whatever....it beeps pretty loudly when you pull the trigger. That became Emmett's favorite (and the neighbor's least favorite) feature!

Micah and I rarely have left Emmett at all, but Friday afternoon, not 15 minutes after we left, they dropped off an excavator and Sean stopped by with his family. We were SO bummed to have missed the visit, but glad grandpa and Uncle Jason got a picture.

The excavator had a button that beeped and then turned lights on when you pushed it, 

so that became a highlight in the truck. Here's Emmett driving with his feet.

All weekend, Emmett would say "2 Big T'cks!" when he looked out the window.  We pulled the basketball hoop close and sat in the truck and shot hoops for a while.  Lion took turns driving.  Even the adults had to try the trucks out ;)

Monday morning, the bobcat was gone by the time we woke up, but we caught them taking the excavator. Luckily, Emmett woke up before it was totally gone and got to meet Clark, who's the owner of these particular trucks. Another amazingly nice guy. He said if we need them again, don't hesitate to call. He'd be happy to bring them back next weekend. No worries at all, just let him know. Emmett loves seeing the trucks move, which also unfortunately meant it was leaving.  He was sad to see it go.
