Hi Kids

Tomorrow is a big day for Dad, as he gets his staples removed and hopefully will receive news that he can drive again. It’s been hard for him to go without his license since his surgery, but friends have been great, willing to drive him to appointments, etc. Monday, I dropped him off at work at 8:30, and he got a ride home with one of our church members at 3 pm, but it proved to be too much for Dad. He came home exhausted. Tuesday, I brought him to work where he got his materials and back home again, in time for me to be at work by 8:30 am. This was a much better arrangement, allowing him to lay down when tired. This morning we had to get up earlier yet, as Dad had to do get a package ready at work and hand deliver it. Mission accomplished and back home again for me to be at work at 8:30 am. He has decided not to go in to work tomorrow. Gerry will pick him up at 11:30 am and stay with him till he is ready to come home again. Personally, I am very thankful, or I would have to take time off work, which I don’t really mind, but this is a busy time of the year at the office, doing year end financials, plus getting out reports and letters to the committees to help them plan for the 2012 budget. Talk about being organized eh? Our treasurer is very efficient.

Saturday, Charles, Angela and their two children arrive from MN, to be with us for a week. Both Dad & I are so looking forward to them being here. It will bevery nice to have the kids playing and reading them stories. We will need to go to the library Saturday, not only to get books for ourselves, but books and audio books for them as well. Charles & Angela will have to look after themselves J. I baked banana nut muffins and plan to have Gabriel & Chloe help bake cookies when they are here.

Monday, Dad has an appointment with Dr Bashir, the oncologist to find out what the next step is. Dad also has another appointment with our family doctor later in the afternoon, but I am hoping that it won’t be necessary. We will keep you posted.
