A SHOT IN THE ARM
A (Figurative) SHOT IN THE ARM
Easter has come and gone and with it my daughter, her husband, and their 3 1/2 year old daughter, Hannah AND my son, his wife, and 5 month old baby, Chloe (+ Nola, their sweet little dog). Was it hectic? Did we laugh and have a good time? Did Michael do most of the cooking? Did Bob make his now famous hamburger stroganoff? A resounding YES to all of those questions. Hannah found all 12 of the eggs that we had hidden and she and I "painted" some wooden placemark eggs that turned into a glitter-mess but a good time was had by all.
On Monday Kelley and Michael took me to chemo so they got a chance to see what it was like for me and I, of course, was happy for the company. Next Monday is my week off (I do three Mondays of chemo, then have one week off so that my blood counts get a chance to "recover.") And finally they all left Tuesday morning. I've been recovering since :>) And that, dear friends, is the kind of shot in the arm that I need and want. Nothing can make me happier than to have them here, laughing and having a good time. And Hannah and Chloe are so darn awesome I can hardly stand it. Hannah, in particular, is busy, busy, busy running here, playing with my old Madame Alexander dolls, running there, finding new things to stimulate her active little mind. Chloe, on the other hand, spends most of her awake time smiling and gurgling and she LOVES the ceiling fans in the various rooms. She seems mesmerized by them. So darn cute!
So this time you get some pictures...
