SATURDAY BRUNCH

Today started out much better than the past week. 
I am officially out of my slump…I need to tear into things now and not only that I WANT TO! Didn’t think that feeling was going to come about none too soon but WHEW it’s here.

We went to Brett and Heather’s house (our youngest son) today for Brunch at 10:00 a.m. and what a wonderful day we had.

Our entire family was there to celebrate
w Doug’s 68th birthday
w Dan and Jamie’s birthdays (Dan’s wife)
   both their birthdays are Sunday!
w A very late Christmas celebration with Darren, MaryAnn and
  Aidan (they didn’t make it to ours on Christmas –
  Aidan was sick) 
w To give a safe and fun send off to Emily going to Disney
   World on Monday
w Wish Grandpa Doug well with his surgery on Monday

So we had lots to celebrate and we certainly did that for the entire day

Here’s a few pictures during the day. Again, most of my pictures are blurry so I couldn’t use them So enjoy!

Aidan never had seen Brett and Heather’s dogs before and he was thrilled with them…both dogs are the same kind.

Some serious talk????

Heather made two different Egg Bakes and this one here was just delicious – filled with ham and cheese

And then the other one which was just plain egg, cheese.
We also had sausage links, fruits and Danish Kringle, and I took fixings for Mimosa’s

Dan made these awesome French Twists with Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese and then tossed in salt…very, very good!

Emily and Joe

Jamie (birthday girl)

After we ate Emily and Joe thought Grandpa should see what Wii is all about.
Both are trying to show him how to go about holding the control.

Here they are well into a game!

Darren has been playing with their Wii at home and trying to use it for therapy – he has gained some use of the right arm and can swing his arm with the control but if he tried to lift his arm in the air from the shoulder he wouldn’t be able to … and he can only hold something in his hand for about 2 minutes then he looses use of it….please continue to pray that the healing will be complete.

Besides spending money we gave Emily a Locking Diary/Journal to take to Florida with her….She was one of 18 chosen from grades 6-8 to participate this year in the JASON PROJECT and Monday they are all going to Disney World for a week of learning…classes everyday and hopefully a little time for some fun. (She’s in grade 6)

And then Aidan had to get his funny groove on!

Our other two grandchildren, Alexandra and Jesse (Dan’s children) didn’t make it…Alexandra had to work until one and Jesse must have been at one of his buddies….but we did have a great day.

Monday Doug goes in for day surgery on the right side of his neck just under the jaw bone to remove a tumor.
And my uncle passed away yesterday and the funeral will be Tuesday morning.
If Doug has to stay overnight I won’t go to the funeral but if he gets to come home Monday late, then I will go into Janesville to the funeral by myself.

I doubt I will be on here Monday or even Tuesday but will certainly see you all Wednesday.
Thanks for visiting me and have a great Sunday!
