Our Last Night of Normalcy

We head back to the ol' torture chamber tomorrow- el hospital.
And I think we are all in a good place and ready to start fighting again.
This break has been a blessing from heaven.  We've recharged our batteries
and dug up some more fight.
 Kean has been eating like a teenage boy and has had more energy than in months.
Maureen came today for therapy and it was almost like old times.
 Here he is doing his monkey impersonation.  Trust me, it was even better in person.
 He so loves Maureen, I think he'd give his last bit of energy for her.
 In fact, I think, other than his "Yoda" hair-do and his super skinny legs and ankles,
you'd never know he was sick.
He worked really hard today. 
 Reese, by the way, is feeling great.
As I write this, she is dancing her heart out to the Wii.
And she spent a chunk of the day putting every puzzle in the house together.
She called our family room "puzzle world".
Oh, and does the spoiling continue.
We received a box from our artist friend, B.A. Schmidt in Chicago today.
She sent the most beautiful necklaces-- a hummingbird for me...
 Black cats for the girls-- all handmade.  And the cutest yellow duck tile for Kean.
I'm sorry my photography skills are so poor.
 And then our bestest buddies, Chris and April sent each of the girls a
beautiful necklace with their birthstones for Christmas.
We figure we will have a lot of deprogramming to do on the spoiling front
by the time we get through this Cancer journey.
And I haven't even begun to mention all that has been done... thank you Cindy and Lin Sue for
the gift cards.  And for the anonymous elf who dropped off a card
at our home on Christmas Eve.
Here Reese thought it was going to be the worst Christmas ever
and yet we have never felt so loved.
Thank you for all the kindness out there.
