Can you believe we are almost through March? The time is flying by to get us to SPRING!
Saturday Michellie was able to get an outing with a friend, and they went to Sydney shopping, for dinner and a movie. She was a little anxious about being so far from us after three months of being stuck together like glue, but she worked through it with help from texting home! Thank goodness for cell phones. She was excited and happy when she got home, and we were thrilled to see her gain back some independence. What did we do while we were actually childless for a few hours? David finished insulating the attic and then took a nap and I made spinach pasta and glazed salmon. Then, we watched The Bucket List. It was great!
Sunday David took off for a little road trip up the Cabot Trail, Michellie started in to her art assignments, and I continued to unpack boxes and reorganize for the movement of storage up to the attic soon! The word about Carpe Diem started to pour in. We hear it was a fantastic night! In fact, Kenzie's words were "Incredible". We feel so honored by the work that many of the performers put into special presentations for Michellie. As well, we are so thrilled by the creativity the performers have and how they embraced their ideas and made them happen! Now we can hardly wait for the video! Congratulations to all of the supporters who helped to raise money for such a great cause. Many people will be blessed by your generosity. MacKenzie was very happy to catch up with lots of people he had not seen in a while, and he was also happy to represent our presence at the party and to share his dancing feet with everyone.
So, it is Monday. The week is ahead of us and we are embracing the fact that the powers that be will make the right things happen for Michellie's full recovery from Hodgkins. Michellie and I will head out this afternoon, and at midnight we will begin her "starvation" for all the tests tomorrow. Thanks again everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers and for helping the medical team to find the right way to complete Michellie's treatments and support her systems full recovery.
For the Waines family. We hope that Yvonne's 70th Surprise Party was a hit. We didn't get a follow up, so we assume that lots of fun was had by all. And, the potato casserole (not made by David), proved to be as delicious as it sounded. I have to stop typing now as Missy is all over the keyboard trying to gain my attention for some loving. Last time she stepped on the keyboard she turned the screen sideways and we couldn't get it back.
Happy Spring Everyone!
