"Amorè, tell daddy what you said at school." Melanie says at dinner.

"We have weed!" Amorè exclaims happily.

I nearly choke on my fries. "We have what?" I cough, taking a sip of my drink.

"Weed, daddy! We have weed!"

"Weed, ya know, like the stuff that grows outside by the porch." Melanie explains. "Her teacher had another idea too."

I can't help but laugh. Amorè meant no harm. Yesterday she asked me why we chop the stuff that grows in the yard. I told her it's called weeds, and weeds are not what we want in our garden because we want the flowers.

I didn't think she would say anything at school, so I didn't explain that there is another kind of weed, which we do not have at our house.

It's been about two months since I've been home, and my memories are very slowly coming back. I've remembered a few things, but there are still tons of gaps.

I'm making tons of new memories with my family. Even though I don't remember them, I can't imagine loving them more than I already do, but it happens everyday.

Everyday I love them more and more.

"We have weeds." I nod in agreement. "But maybe we should not tell anyone. Weeds are ugly."

"I know. I told her we took the weed out of the garden to get rid of it." Amorè tells me. "Now our garden is beautiful again."

"It sure is." Melanie smiles. "You and daddy did a great job, munchkin."

"Thank you, mommy." I smile at her.

Leilani looks up at me, laying her head against my chest to fall back asleep. We went to the park before dinner and all the kids are tired but Leilani doesn't want to be put down. She has an ear infection so she's super clingy at the moment.

She wants hugs and to be held all day, not that I mind. She's my baby, I'll give her all the cuddles she wants.

"Alright, now that everyone is done, let's get in the tub and get ready for bed." Melanie stands. We put our dishes in the sink before getting the kids ready for bed. Melanie and I usually clean up after the kids are put to bed.

We start by brushing our teeth together, and then we have to get all five kids baths.

Nova takes a shower in Melanie and I's bathroom while Melanie gives Leilani a bath in the kids' bathroom and I give Caleb a bath in the guest bathroom. Camden showers after Nova, and Melanie helps Amorè in the bath while I dress the twins.

"Okay, all done." I finish putting Leilani's onesie on her. I give both of them their pacifiers before placing them on my bed to sleep.

All the kids insisted they needed to sleep with us because of the scary movie we watch earlier, so we brought Camden's bed in our room and placed it beside of our queen sized bed so we have more space.

"Nite nite, dada." The twins say.

"Goodnight, munchkins." I kiss both their foreheads. "I love you both."
