Hi kids

We had a good weekend, praise the Lord!

May 27, Dad fell asleep during the majority of his chemo treatment, right through lunch. Good thing he brought a sandwich along to snack on later. That evening, he could already feel the affects with an upset stomach. Saturday he wasn’t up to doing much, and continued loosing energy or the desire to do participate in any thing. Sunday after church, we went straight home and even cancelled out on Small Group that evening. During the week, he would go into work and come home shortly after 1 pm for his “nap”, and then be back in bed again before 9 pm. Friday was the change around day with him slowly getting his energy and appetite back again. When he wanted an angus burger for supper, (his favourite), I told him to stay home, while I went through the drive through at MacDonald’s. Saturday he lent his support at the Spence Neighbourhood street festival. After a short nap, he still had energy to work in the garden and dig out dandelions. Sunday, Dad surprised me by asking if friends could come for lunch after church, a rarity. I made a pot of lentil soup Friday, which went perfectly with home made bread and sundaes for dessert. That afternoon, we went to Assiniboine Park which held the Annual Dutch Tulip Festival the day before. We were pleasantly surprised at how many different colours that were still blooming. There must have been thousands and thousands, but we only saw those in the English Garden, and the new duck pond. Very nice that there are many benches in shaded areas giving Don a chance to sit before we carried on.  It was a beautiful sunny day.

We are also happy to announce the birth of our eleven grandchild; Leah Estee was born Sunday, May 29. We are truly blessed! We are so thankful for Skype, as we were introduced to both Benjamin whom we will see in July and Leah in August at their baptisms. What darlings.

Love, Mom & Dad
