I just had a follow up with my oncologist and he said my labs are good, I'm looking great and he'll see me in 3months for more labs and my last PET scan!
I also took the girls down to Babies R Us this morning to get Sadie a big girl car seat...her hand-be-down infant car seat from Bekah has a tear in the cover now and she likes to rip out the batting...and then try to eat it. So, we headed down bought a new car seat and since my car is to small to get the carseat back in the box I installed it in the parking lot while the girls played in the car. I'm sure I looked really silly but oh well!

100 Cookies
I just finished baking 100 cookies....and I only tested one! I'm making and serving (along with my two lovely and oh so helpful daughters) a "good old fashioned picnic" lunch to 50 of my grandparents motor home friends on Wednesday. Tomorrow I'm making a lot of macaroni salad and picking up fresh strawberries and early Wednesday morning my order for 100 pieces of fried chicken (I don't know how to make fried chicken...and that's probably good...and even if I did I don't think I'd want to) will be ready to pick up so then I'll have the task of getting everything together, packed up, to the beach and set up and ready to go by noon...oh and did I mention that my oh so helpful daughters will be coming along to...help :). My mom's coming too so I think I might survive..and hopefully with a smile on my face :).
Man...what we do for the grandparents we love!
I hope it turns out well.

3.8 POUNDS!
That's how much weight I lost this past week!
I weigh myself every Wednesday morning and the past two weeks have been a measly .4lbs so I was shocked and excited about this week....now I just need to keep it off and keep the losing trend going.

Only 25lbs to get to my goal weight and 30lbs to get to my ultimate supper sexy goal...yikes!
Don't worry I'll get there...I hope :)
Anyone want to get sexier with me?

Sadie Lady and Mr. Gavin
Which is the boy bottom and which is the girl...can you tell?
I think Gavin just wanted to relax and play instead of having a photo shoot :)...Sadie seemed to enjoy getting her picture taken....these cousins are so different!

My First Haircut!
Today I got my first haircut since chemo.!
My hair was not very long but the back was getting kinda shaggy around my neck and it was driving me crazy. The back of my head and my ears were trimmed up so it's not longer annoying me :) and I actually got a complement on it as I was getting into my car from a woman walking by....I was shocked! I guess it actually looks like a style now instead of a grown out buzz cut!
I think it would be fun to put some kind of color (even though you shouldn't treat your hair after chemo.) in i too....I would have never chosen to cut it this short so why not play around with some fun color while I'm forced to be adventurous :) Hum.....should I go blond like Bekah? or add some red highlights? or just go really dark dark brown? So many choices...I guess while I'm at it I should also try going blue, green or purple too :) J/K

A Good Day
Today was a good day....we....
-got up around 6:30 and started the morning routine of diaper changes, breakfast, coffee drinking (for me), lunch making and whatever else comes up
-got Daddy off to school around 8am
-Sadie took her morning nap while Bekah played and I got a shower
-got to a play date with Bekah's best little girlfriend Caedra - they had tons of fun jumping in muddy puddles, taking a bath to clean up and eating a yummy lunch of pb&j
-got home for naps (I even got to lay down for an hour)
-got dinner into the crock pot while the girls played - Sadie is now crawling and pulling herself up on everything and Bekah likes to play chase
-got some laundry put away but decided to visit Bekah and Sadie's Uncle Rob at my grandparents ranch for a quick afternoon outing instead of finishing our chores
-got dinner for the girls, a bath for Sadie, pj's on Bekah, books read, toys picked up, Sadie a bottle and down for bed and Bekah and mommy time before putting her down for bed.
It's almost 8:30 and I'm finally done, Keith is almost home from school and I don't have any work to do tonight so I'm going to relax...until I fall asleep so that I can do it all again tomorrow :)
Have a good night friends!

New Videos
Just a heads up--there are two new videos posted over to the lower right, one featuring one of Sadie's brand new skills: crawling! She also has a surprise ending for you. It's been way too long since I've posted--so sorry for that--but I've been just trying to keep my head above water in a very challenging Cal Poly quarter. My main project is coming together, using The Giver to bring out themes of identity and memory. It's made me stop and wonder at our ability to remember, from which flows our ability to experience and learn and know who we are. Unbelievable!
