Cancer Sucks

Well, for the third time it appears my dad has cancer. The first time around involved surgery and it was a nightmare. Second time involved four chemo treatments that were really quite manageable. Now, he needs surgery again. We are all a little jumpy considering how the first surgery went. We know history won't repeat itself because of all that we learned the first time around, but we also know it won't be until at least the end of August until Grandpa is feeling better.

So...we had a "Cancer Sucks" party. If you want to hear something cute, have Megan tell you about the party.

We had everyone out to our house for a simple lunch and then loaded everyone up in the pickup (with Marc and Jake on the four wheeler) and went to our neighbors home fashioned water slide. Poor Aaron had the flu and couldn't make it. We missed you Karen, Owen, and Aaron.

It was a fun day.
























































































































After the slide it was back to our house for a little dessert.




And to see if Savannah is taller than Annie yet :) Not quite, but it won't be long. They might not be the same height, but they are the same shade of brown.








Good luck Dad! We sure love you!!

I'm sorry to hear about your dad. He'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Please give him my best wishes and tell both your folks hi for me. The party is a great idea--looks like the kids had a blast.

Sorry to hear about your dad, Jamie. Looks like he has a great support system with his family cheering him on and rallying around him. Keep us posted on his progress.
