Day 97, Wednesday, April 7, 2010

Bonnie volunteered to vacuum the living room,

and it sure looks nice!

Day 96, Tuesday, April 6, 2010

Auntie Merica and her little niece, Lentee,

along with Sadie, take a break from

their imaginary play to

watch a DVD!

Day 95, Monday, April 5, 2010

Simeon has been so "with it" of late!  Today he

played outside for a long time doing various

things!  He played with toys, enjoyed swinging for

quite a while, and yesterday he even played

basketball with the kids.  More smiles,

more talking, just much more "here"--such

an answer to prayer, especially now as

we walk thru my cancer blip.

Day 94, Easter Sunday, April 4, 2010

Easter Dinner buffet

Aunt Cheryl prepared yummy stuffed chicken

breasts, rice, and some wonderful

folks brought dessert in for a special treat!

I am so thankful that,even though I cannot eat any

of this food, I can be here to be a part of the

festivities! 

In the foreground are Sammy, my youngest,

and his niece, my granddaughter, Lentee. 

Tee Tee is 8 months older than Sammy.

From the left in the background are:

Merica, Rosie, Laura,

Bonnie, Kaitie, and Cheryl

I love my family!

Day 93, Saturday, April 3, 2010

I propped my camera on the back of the front

passenger seat, set the timer, and snapped

this picture!  I wanted to show Bonnie that
I was keeping comfy with the collage blanket

 she had made at Walmart for the family.

We were on our way home from the
University Hospital!

Today is the anniversary of the tornado

that hit Standale in 1956.  I remember that

day very well.  I was 11 years old, and

scared that my Mom, who was an RN,

would have to go help at the hospital.

It was my first memory of a tornado

warning, and we had to go to our

very dank and dark Michigan basement.

Mom didn't end up getting called in!

Day 92, Friday, April 2, 2010

Self portrait in the early morning hours on Friday!

I actually slept well, but had several hours of awake

time, so I passed the time by taking pictures of

things in my room--including myself!!

Day 91, Thursday, April 1, 2010

Today is my surgery, and Cheryl, Jody, and I are wearing our

FROG sox--to remind us to Fully Rely on God!

At home most of my older kids are also

wearing FROG sox today!
