What could be better?

Had a great weekend. Double date dinner out Friday night with Chris and Amy at Crave restaurant; Saturday night barbecue at their house after which we returned home with the 2 little people (Alex and Lucy) for the next 24 hours. - Wow - we did a lot in that amount of time: school playground a couple blocks from us, planting flowers (Alex helped and also said he thought the first ones got bigger already while I was planting the last!), Bush Lake Beach on a whim and it was great.
Below is Alex's "graduation" photo - he will graduate from Pre-K at Primrose School on June 11 - what a guy.


Lucy is Lucy - breakfast today while Alex is studying his new bird call machine Lucy just always says "cheese" when she sees a camera pointed at her. She loved the beach but doesn't ever like to get her hands dirty - think the combination of sand and water - quite a challenge for her. Since it was on a whim they had no swimsuits and we drove home with them sitting on big plastic bags in their car seats - Alex very worried that someone may be able to see him through the windows - how embarrassing!

Alex showing off on the bars at the playground near us. He is quite the little athlete.

Lucy riding the concrete "pig" - I kept telling her it was a turtle but she just kept oinking and calling it a pig.

I discovered this huge mushroom in our woods - don't worry - we are not planning to eat of it even though I want to make homemade cream of mushroom soup to mimic that we had in Poland.

What's next? Back to driving Miss Daisy (Amy) to her therapies - she is doing very well with the left side and just needs to gain a little strenth - it is absolutely amazing to see the strides she has made. Chemotherapy of the oral type and radiation will both start this Thursday so pray with us that it is very well tolerated. We have a busy few weeks coming up but we are getting used to very full lives.
