Hey there.  Dave & the kids surprised me last week with a nice birthday (& a very gay picture of me from 1981).  Today is Dave's birthday; I couldn't find any embarrassing pictures of him as a kid -- so this one of the cousins at the apple orchard last weekend will have to do.  We had a great time - the kids thought it was pretty cool when I jumped over them on the hay bales -- you would have thought I was Evil Kneivel. 

Things are going all right, I'm feeling depressed tonight.  Dave's down on the treadmill & the kids are in bed.  I can't seem to shake it, don't quite know why.

We went to GR last weekend for Friday night.  I'm so glad we did.  Dave's mom had a really bad night, passed out each time she got up to use the bathroom.  First thing Saturday morning Dave & his dad took her to the hospital.  The kids and I stayed back - doing laundry, groceries, etc.  It's going to be a rough ride now that chemo is underway.  Her particular protocol is really strong.  I'm sure we'll being going there often to help out.  I just feel so bad....

She's back at home now, just taking things day by day.

Dave's the big 41 today.  He was easy to please - Tiger apparel & tools & Mexican for dinner.  It was actually a really fun night - the first in a while where everyone was home (no meetings, friends over, work commitments, etc..).  So nice.

Well, I'm going to cut this short.  Have a great rest of the week.  Always, Michelle
