(delayed) birthday weekend recap & chemo #5...

my weekend officially began on friday with my regular bi-weekly trip 2 sushi jacko, 4 lunch with my sis....mmmmm!


friday eve, my ma not only picked up my kiddos 4 me...but she also got matthew 4 my brother...when i arrived at ma's house, they were all jammin' 2 matthew's fav song "chicken fried"? can't say i know the song personally, but the kiddos were having a blast doing their "cowboy dances" with nana!


saturday was a gorgeous day outside! the kiddos got out & played a ton!


even finding some small earthworm treats 4 socks - he hadn't had one of those in a while!


& i got some pics of the little bit of color peeking thru...come on spring! hurry up already!!!


saturday night, our church had their valentine's day spaghetti supper


matthew is very secure with his manhood - he had no problem eating that pink cupcake! ;0)


then sunday, my baby turned 5!


we started out her day with a trip 2 the roller skating rink (her pick)...she got 2 invite her BFF savannah


we even got big brother curtis up on skates this time! ;0)


afterward, we went 2 nana & grandpa's house so the whole family (aunts, uncles & cousins) could join us in eating pizza, cake & ice cream



of course, corinn opened a few presents 2! ;0)


this horse is the only thing she specifically requested


& she's been brushing it's mane & tail ever since!


our busy day wiped out these 2 lil girls! they fell out like this, during our 5 minute drive home from nana's


corinn had a great birthday!

-----------

chemo #5 was monday - only 3 more to go!

my oncologist said my PET scan looked great - the cancer "hot spots" are mostly gone! so we'll continue on with treatment as is...& if i continue 2 respond so well, i should only need the minimal (~2 weeks) amount of radiation, after chemo (they'll give me another PET scan once i'm done with chemo)

i'm pretty nauseous this week - i missed work yesterday too, so that i could stay home & take it easy 1 more day...back at work 2day - not feeling 100%, but i'm here! ;0)

i hope u guys had a great weekend!
we're already 1/2 way 2 another one! ;0)
