Hi everyone...thanks so much for all of your calls, blog comments and emails - they are very appreciated as always. It's so nice to be back home again! We've had a pretty exciting time - especially since Tanner Jeffery Ireland arrived on the scene late Thursday night! He's a wonderful baby and has the fullest head of hair on his head that we've seen in a long time. Congratulations to our niece Nikki and her husband Jeff - great work guys!! And of course congratulations to proud Grandparents Steve and Peggy. Dallas was very honoured to find out that Tanner will call him Grandpa "D" - I think my handle will be Nona (I'm stealing your title Anne!). Life is good!
We've been doing a lot of gardening catch up and are changing a few things around in the yard. We were also out on the boat yesterday with some friends and threw the prawn traps out in the water. A bit of success there (enough for an appetizer for dinner!) but more practice is in order! Next week we're looking forward to a visit from our good friends, Anne and John McGilvary. And the highlight of our month will be when Jordan arrives home for the summer - he'll be making his way home via a stopover in the valley to visit grandparents and friends. Then we'll have our boy back home for the summer - YEAH! There is nothing better than having your whole family in the same city for awhile - a parent's dream and cause for celebration!
We are on pins and needles now because we have Dallas's dates for further testing in Vancouver. On May 7th Dallas has a CT scan so that the oncologist can compare it to his previous results. Of course we're hoping that the magic pills have done their job but the next few weeks of waiting will be nerve wracking. We will review the test results with oncologist on the morning of May 12th so that is D day for us. More later...
Love,
Patty and the Big Guy xxoo
