Visit with the Wickers



Running around the farm! Collin and I had a great visit with Robert's family a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Wicker had knee replacement surgery the beginning of February so we went down there so that I could try to help Mrs. Wicker and so that Collin could provide an amusing distraction for Mr. Wicker. I think it worked. Collin did a wonderful job taking care of his granddaddy. He helped to rub granddaddy's leg each evening and would cover him up with a blanket whenever Mr. Wicker laid down. Collin just played and laughed and had a great time. He did such a great job understanding that granddaddy couldn't jump and play this time. At least with a new knee though he can jump and run with Collin around the farm the next time we are there. Collin will be so excited.

The recovery is going well and the therapy is working. From the sounds of it Mr. Wicker will be good as new in no time. I hear he is even headed back to work this week.

We also got to see Uncle Paul and Granny Mary Lou. Collin is finally spitting out Uncle Paul's name so that it doesn't come out like "applesauce." Though that was pretty cute. It was a great visit.
