Good Question!

Stacy and I forgot how relaxing a Sunday could be. For the first time we didn't have to rush home from church. We weren't waiting for phone call from the hospital. We played around in the RMH playground before and after church. We even went to the Zenger's for dessert. That was so nice. We never did any of this stuff before. We felt too guilty not being with our Princess. It was the first time since early June we went out as a family. It was just a nice day.  I remember 6 years ago our first outing with Sierra. It was a party at the Gee's. Never forgot that and the relaxing feeling it was. Today was no different.

Stacy is doing daily dressing changes on Lindsey's cannula sites. They are looking much better with just a little drainage. Still very painful though, packing those strips into those open holes. Lindsey just hates it, but knows it must happen.

Sierra is heading back to Jordan tomorrow, with her port still in place. She is feeling and looking better.  Sierra's next treatment is Thursday, same day as Lindsey next biopsy.  Stacy and I put together all the meds for Sierra, Lindsey and Gage. Interesting the differences in meds between Sierra and Linds. Many of the meds are the same but there are plenty of differences too.

Funny story....
A mother of a little girl in Hunter's class came up to Stacy after church with a funny story. Her daughter asked her, "Why does Hunter's mommy love his daddy?"   (good question!)
She said, "Well I love your daddy, why do you ask?"
"Well he has that hairy stuff on his chin."

There were several people today who were happy to see it go.  So am I.  But in a twisted way, I kinda miss the beast. Hopefully it never has to return.

People don't often realize what a blessing the simple joys of every day life are. Reading about your family and experiences has made me look at each ordinary, boring day with a more grateful heart. So, so happy your family had their first wonderfully ordinary day in a long, long time!

Some taxing humor for Dad!

Income tax is Uncle Sam's version of "Truth or Consequences."

~~~~~
Doing your own income tax return is a lot like a do-it-yourself mugging.


Isn't it appropriate that the month when the taxes are due begins with April Fool's Day and ends with cries of "May Day!"?


What's the definition of an accountant?
Someone who solves a financial problem you didn't know you had
in a way you don't understand.



Did you ever notice?
When you put the 2 words "The" and "IRS" together it spells: "THEIRS."

Continued Love and Prayers Dale and Mike Olsen
