False Alarm

It seems I do not have anything to worry about...for now (besides high blood pressure). But the health scare I just experienced has made me acutely aware of the possibility of losing everyone and everything I hold dear. And so, that much more appreciative of everything I do have. I am so blessed.
I want to thank all of you who helped me get through the last week. Thanks for checking on me, for trying to make me laugh and for keeping me from going crazy. I am so lucky to have such wonderful family and friends. In case I haven't told you lately- I love you!

I love you Chris, Koen and Morgan.

My heart goes out to those who have dealt with and are currently dealing with cancer. I can't even imagine how one would get through that and have the strength to fight.

Please, Mom?

The kids found a little ATV at Costco the other day that was "just like Opa's". Koen reluctantly let Morgan sit on it with him, but he was pretty disappointed that he couldn't drive it around the store.

Morgan is having fun! (Koen is looking for the eject button)

Every time Koen finds something he wants at a store that I won't buy him, he informs me that "Santa will bring it for Christmas". I sure hope this year gets a lot better by December! I guess it's our own fault for getting him everything he wanted for Christmas last year. (his wish list is a lot pricier now)

Before and After

It's been almost a month since Koen got his hair cut, but I finally have some pictures and a computer fast enough to load them.

Koen, post-Cookie Cutters. You gotta love that place!
