Dressing with an Audience

This morning, just like every other morning, I had an audience when I got dressed. I sometimes wonder how many people get up, take a shower, and get dressed for the day, day in, and day out while being watched. Well, I guess the blow dryer, curlers, brushes, and potions that I use must be verrrry interesting because this is how I get dressed every morning...with a friend.

And, as if one friend were not enough, I actually have two. The boys and I visit like this every morning as I am dressing to go to work, they position themselves at the foot of the bed so they can look right into the bathroom doorway and talk about what they are going to do to pass the time while I'm at work...must be my magnetic personality! Or,more likely, they are just waiting for me to hit the road so the fun can begin!!!

Happy Birthday, Mom

Today is Mom's 89th birthday. We all went over to spend the afternoon with her. Everyone was exhausted after a late night at the wedding, but we had a little celebration and then went on a ride around the lake. Happy Birthday, Mom...and many moooooore!

Last night we attended the wedding of our niece, Tiffany and her new husband Mark. Everything was beautiful and a magical reception followed at Colonial Country Club. We all had a wonderful time and wish them all of the best in the future. Congratulations, Tiffany and Mark, we love you both!!

He's Come a Long Way, Baby

While looking through some pictures taken when Don was first diagnosed with cancer, I came across one that made me realize how far he has come in just 9 1/2 months. First, take a look at these pictures and see how good he looks and how much he is enjoying each moment then scroll down and see where he came from. I think he qualifies for the nutritional shake poster child!



This picture was taken on August 12 in Pensacola, Florida, he was so weak he could hardly muster up a smile.

Tests are in the Works!

When I got home from work today Don said he got a call from Dr. Regenstein's nurse regarding his upcoming tests. The nurse said she would be mailing blood work orders to Don and further explained that she would be scheduling a repeat CT scan in May and a follow up appointment in June. This CT scan will show if there is any significant difference in the CT scan he took in June of last year that revealed the blood clot in his portal vein. We know it is a long shot, but we will be thrilled if it is just a smidgen smaller than it was one year ago. So, once again, please keep Don in your prayers...he is doing so well, I know the prayers are being answered!!!

Happy Easter

We are very blessed to have had our prayers answered over and over again throughout Don's illness. Thank you to all who have been keeping Don in your prayers. We are wishing you a wonderful Easter.

Don said he was barbequeing with his two favorite girls...I don't think either one of them could get closer if they wanted to.
How appropriate, rabbit ears. I wonder if she'll still be one of his favorites when he sees this!!
Ashley and Adam came over with Goby for dinner. They were supposed to bring my Mom but she said she was enjoying her new home so much she just wanted to stay home!!! We made sure Ashley took a nice dinner home to Mom along with an Easter basket full of yummy treats! I think I'm moving to Lakeview, a nice quiet house with food delivery!
