Otherwise, not much new. I am starting my no chemo week so I am feeling pretty good. Pat gets his chemo pump removed tomorrow and will pretty much be wiped out for the weekend. I am doing lots of exciting things like catching up on laundry, cleaning out the refrigerator and planning some easy meals for next week when I'll be feeling blah.
Derek is almost finished driver's ed. Kelsey cleaned out her closet today. Kevin organized all his clothes to get ready for school (he likes to be prepared ahead of time!) and Meri just returned from spending almost 4 days at her friend's house (she had a great time and I think would rather be there than at our house- now she is completely bored!). Wil is starting to walk more and more- he still crawls faster and prefers crawling, but he'll be walking everywhere soon!
Mostly we are just staying low key, hanging out at home and relaxing as best we can. Next week starts school registration, orientation..etc so we will have a lot to do. Then before we know it, family and friends will be arriving for Wil's first birthday! It is hard to believe that he is already turning one. These past 18 months, since Pat was first diagnosed with cancer, have been such a rollercoaster. Then with my diagnosis in April, all our tests, scans and treatments...etc...having a new baby in the house to focus on, cuddle and love has been such a blessing and has brought so much joy to our entire family. It is difficult to feel stress or worry when that adorable little guy looks up at you and smiles with his toothy grin! To him, we are just the family who loves him- he has no worries or any idea of all that we are going through around him- and that is just how it should be. Knowing that keeps the rest of us grounded! God sure knew what he was doing when he sent Wil to us!
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
