What a Great Holiday

Our family had a great holiday. Two days with the grand girls was just what the doctor ordered for me! We had our cookout on the 4th and Lauren's parents joined us ( of course that meant Kyle and Daniel had to drink too much mama-wanna). That is a drink that they brought back from Punta Cana. I didn't think Kyle's eyes would stay open long enough to see the fireworks....... but they did. The fireworks were beautiful and we had a bird's eye view from the shoreline. We watched them with Lois and Buck and the grandaughters. I will keep that memory of holding Alli snuggled up next to me watching the fireworks, for all the bad days coming my way. That night the girls and I had a sleepover in the living room complete with popcorn and the movie "Sharktales". That is also another memory tucked away. Yesterday, Mike, Jess, Lauren and the girls went to Cedar Point and spent the day riding rides. We all had pizza for dinner and took a ride to Toft's for ice cream before they headed back to Toledo. It was a wonder ful two days for me and them. I know I won't be able to see them during my next hospital stay so I savored every moment. Less than 2 weeks left until I go back in, so I am packing in all I can into these last days, so I will be able to say YES I CAN even on the bad days.
