Our Monday

-
We had 73 degree temperatures yesterday (definitely the warmest so far this year) and the kids loved playing outside. Rory spent about an hour out in the morning and then they both played after school. I walked on the treadmill and did 6 loads of laundry throughout the day; we took a family walk when Brian got home, and I made Pioneer Woman's Baked Lemon Pasta for supper. Brian and Camden headed to Wal-mart to get supplies to fix my brake lights while I took Rory to her first preschool gymnastic class. And that would be our day in a nutshell. :)

This would be my "girly" girl doing her favorite outdoor activity: playing in the dirt (with Camden's car).

Funny how differently men and women phrase things. For example, Melissa says, Brian and Camden went to get "supplies" to fix my brake light. It sounds like we were doing crafts! :)

A man would say (in a deep "Tim, the tool man voice") I'm going to get the "parts" to fix your car. Amazing how one word changes things!

BTW, Melissa does not get enough credit for all she does to keep our home sailing smooth. I love you, Babe!

December 2019

I feel certain this is true for everyone, but December is a marathon. However, if you can make it through all the sporting events and holiday parties and recitals and programs, not to mention a regular work schedule, then time off during the week of Christmas is your reward. Everything comes to a screeching halt for our family the week of Christmas, and I anticipate this week all year long. Brian's parents came for a quick visit this past weekend; kids had exams, and I attended 2 work parts. We also hosted a small party at our house Saturday afternoon. It was a lovely way to close out the busyness of December. Brian and I deliberately planned for down time beginning Sunday afternoon and it has been wonderful. The kids are sleeping until noon; we're watching movies and playing games. I'm reading book #68 of the year, and I have cooked zero meals. We will open presents with the kids Christmas morning and then join my parents, grandparents, and Liz for lasagna; Becky and ...

The Scoop

I feel as if I don't even know where to start this post since things have been happening at a rapid pace over the last several weeks. And I'll apologize in advance, because it's not alot of fun information, but I'm documenting more for my sake than yours. So after several weeks of not only being ill from chemo but having a crazy swollen IP (stomach) port as well as a crazy knot down near my belly button - both of which were incredibly painful - they admitted me to the hospital Monday morning (July 4). One of the few perks of being a cancer patient is that your doctor can simply place a phone call to the hospital and from the time we walked in the door until we were in our room was barely 10 minutes. They immediately did a CT scan and put me on two IV antibiotics. The CT tech ran the dye through my port, which is apparently a big no-no. This detail is important later on. Wednesday, the doctor who did my colon surgery stopped by and decided the port had to come out beca...

Football in the Park

There are an embarrassing number of pictures in this post. It was one of those early fall afternoons that was just perfection. I had a hard time putting the camera down so that I could actually participate in the activity. It just felt like I was missing out on trying to capture the feeling of that hour in the park. If you can believe it, family, I actually played football. :) Side note: I have alot more pictures of Rory than Camden mostly because he moved too fast for me to capture very well. Most of his pics are blurry. Caught it even with his eyes closed. Watching barges and speed boats go by.
