Final treatment!

Tomorrow is Burt's LAST chemo treatment! What a relief! We thought this day would never get here! Thankfully it's not supposed to start snowing until sometime after lunch. We just got through one snowstorm with 22 inches Fri/Sat, now they're calling for another 12-20 inches......BJ had to use the front end loader to clear our driveway.

One of the county plows got stuck, twice, in front of our house because the drifts were so high. They had to call someone to pull them out....

So what do you do when the weather won't let you go outside? You scrap of course!!

Here's one of my favorite pics of Anna on her wedding day....

Of course, who could forget how cute Kari was when she was a pup?

And these were taken the last time I went to Canada to visit family, July 2007.

Oh, and before I forget, WELCOME Kailey Bryn! 7 pounds 9 ounces, 20 inches long! Congratulations Brian and April!

Last round of chemo starts today.....

Burt did his chemo this morning and went to work, so I guess he's feeling ok. This is the last round! February 9th and we should be done! I can't wait! Here's hoping it's not too hard to take, it seems to be harder with each round.

So I had a chance to do some scrapping over the weekend and managed to do three layouts!

Another month has gone by

And my Cowboys are out of the running for the Super Bowl.......boo hoo hoo!

On the home front, Burt has been to three of his doctors this week and all say he's doing really well. Dr. K said he has one more round of chemo (three treatments) and that will be it. Last day of chemo will be February 9th!! Then he will have to undergo another CT scan and some other tests to see how he's doing. So far so good! I have to thank you all for your constant prayers and good thoughts for us, I know that they have been heard.

Wow, it's been a month since I've updated my blog....

and so much has happened! Christmas has come and gone, another year is almost finished. I can't wait for 2010, I am hoping it is sooooo much better than 2009 was!


We had a snow storm on the 18th-19th of December and unfortunately no one but the Foster's made it to our family Christmas party. My brother Buddy and Daniall flew in from LA but were stuck in at Mom & Dad's house as the snow was drifting. You know it's bad when you get stuck in the street in front of your own house!




If you don't recognize the two snowbirds on the right, that's Hillary and Dani mooning in the snow......it was too cold to pull the snow suits down but you get the idea.....LOL


The Foster's showed up for the family party the 19th, they didn't let a few snowflakes stop the party! Of course it helps if you live next door and can walk over!




BJ and Burt spent a Friday night/Saturday afternoon in December making meat pies. They taste delicious!




Christmas morning we all got to sleep in, we didn't get up until around 8:30. No little ones here.
Lots of gifts to open. Burt got a new Dallas Cowboy's jacket. Dani got her UGG boots. Adrian got the Blackberry she'd been asking for. Anna got a new KitchenAid mixer. And I got a new camera! All in all it was a very nice Christmas.





I got some scrappy supplies for Christmas from Anna and got a chance to sit down and scrap last night. Got another 2 page layout being made and hope to get it finished sometime today!



We did get a chance to catch up with some family members from New Jersey and New York when they stopped by on their way home from Longwood Gardens. It is nice to see everyone and catch up with them.

Here's hoping that you all have a Happy New Year this weekend! Jeff's birthday is Friday so we're starting the New Year off with a party! Stay safe everyone!

It's a struggle to get this under control

Burt's sugar dropped suddenly last Friday while he was driving, he hit a tree and totalled the pickup. Luckily he was not hurt badly. He does not remember what happened. Last thing he remembers he was at McDonald's eating lunch. At today's doctor's visit they discovered a blood clot in his right arm. Whether it's from the chemo, the accident, or what they don't know. We go back Monday to see if it's still there, he may have to have the chemo port removed.

Here's hoping everything goes ok and it's gone by Monday.

Back to the chemo chair again....

Today is Burt's first day back in the chemo chair after three weeks off. The drug Gemzar, one hour once a week for 4 months. Three weeks on, one week off. Hopefully it'll all be done by mid-February. He needs to take it easy and not tire himself out. Especially with all the germs going around now. Why won't that man get a flu shot like everyone else???
