Happy Birthday Daddy

Today is my Dad's birthday, the first one without him. I think of him almost every day and miss him a lot. Last night we all got together and took white balloons and each wrote a birthday message to Dad/Grandpa and then took them outside and sang Happy Birthday to Dad and let them go. The kids loved it. When they got out of sight, Oliva said, "He got them!!!"




We all had dinner together and I made one of Dad's favorite dinners. Roast Beef, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans, and a green salad. I could just see my Dad fixing his plate and loving it. He had a lot of hunger as a kid so he LOVED a good meal and a full table. It was so nice having the babies here but boy does it wear me out. They are so funny and have so much fun together. They are still getting the "sharing" part down but they are so sweet.


We went to the doctor yesterday morning and he gave me an all clear so far. I don't have to go back to Dr Wintch until the end of April. Then we will do the first MRI . I am feeling well and pretty strong. I do have my 4th round of chemo tomorrow, but I think it will all go as usual cause I feel real good. Hopefully by the time Cliff gets back from Colorado with the kids on Sunday I will be over the worst of it and feeling good. He is leaving Saturday and I sure hope the roads have cleared by then cause they are snowy and bad right now. Keeping my fingers crossed.
