All back in their places with bright shiny faces

We are so glad to have Michael and Jackson home--ooops I mean Jackson and Michael, they get after me when I say Michael, Jackson! Jax says he prefers Dad to take him to Chemo over me, because Michael doesn't make him go Christmas shopping! For the record I never made Jackson go, he just refused to stay in the hotel room alone. And, further more, it's January, I wouldn't have taken him Christmas shopping either!! Sheeesh I can never win! I am so glad to have everyone home, and so glad that next month Chemo happens during Sammi & Zoe's birthday's. Because of that we are ALL going to Seattle together. Yeah all of us together! Michael and I were talking on the phone this week when he was at Chemo with Jackson and we realized that we have spent more time apart since September than we have since we met 18 years ago. I didn't explain that well did I? If you added up all the day/nights spent apart in the 18 years before Sept.09 they would be less than the number of day/nights spent apart from each other in the last 5 months. So, yipee for next month!
I wanted to tell you of some service we have received in recent weeks. One time we came home and found our whole yard had been raked, and the leaves taken care of. We have a big yard and LOTS of trees so it must have taken many hours. Thank you secret raker whoever you are! Then when I was feeling blue not to long ago we woke up to a TP'd house with a fun note and treats at our door. Thank you TP gang whoever you are! It happened to be the night that some "not so good-doers" graffited some business's in town. Our neighbor called, she thought we had been tagged too! Also, every month Debra Bergeson brings Jax a bag of fun drinks, magazines, and more to make Jax more comfortable at Chemo. So kind, so thoughtful, and soooo appreciated. We are blessed.


The boys we have been missing return. Notice Jackson's left eye, I just might add for information purposes that when I take him to Chemo he never falls on cement steps at the hospital and hits the corner of his eye!

The note we found on a BIG BOX of treats!

The trees were drapped in beautiful white

And the backyard looks better than before!

A years supply of TP

Glad everyone is home safe and somewhat sound, and that you have enough TP for your emergency storage! I hear you were on the end of the do-gooders list too! Melanie said that things at her house were looking much better after you and Courtney were there. Thanks from the absent mama...... Luv ya, AD

You are always giving service, I'm so glad plenty comes your way when you need it most. Love the note from the TP Gang. It's good advice for when it's all gone to pot. Sorry couldn't resist.

Love you so much Bec. Million thanks to you and Courtney.
