Updates from Live Oak

• Friday we had a fun four hours with Tia Veronica. We went shopping, had fun at Cracker Barrel and then we were off to my parents' house. We are looking forward to seeing Tia real soon. Thanks for all the goodies, Tia!
• Dad looks tired. Mom says he is not sleeping well. He headed out Saturday for a fun fishing weekend trip. He never rests on these trips, but has alot of fun. And tonight he told me he caught lots of fish! He is heading back here tomorrow evening.
• Hubby turns 39 tomorrow. I am so sorry we will not be there to celebrate with you, but Kerri has a huge birthday gift planned for you upon our return! We love and miss you!
• Mom scared me today, she bled out and for a while there I thought I was going to have to call 911. I monitored her blood pressure and am keeping a close eye on her. She is thankfully pain free, since they have increased her morphine doses.
• I think nursing is not for me. I don't know how my Dad does this day in and day out.
• I cut my Mom's hair! And shaved off part of her eyebrow in the process.
• My sister Denise has been awesome. She has come every day and is staying over nights while Dad is gone. I know this is hard for her and her family, and I am very grateful for all of her help.
• Speaking of my sister's family, they came over today for lunch. I cannot get over how much the kids have grown in just a few months! I took pictures, but will need to wait until I have a better connection to upload them.
• Cousin Chelsea will be coming over tomorrow to play with Kerri all day. We are looking forward to seeing her again!
• Kerri is having a hard time sharing Mommy with Grandma. She says things like: "You love Grandma more than me.", and "You don't care about me anymore.". I think having Chelsea here to entertain Kerri will help.
• My cousin is flying in from Argentina on Tuesday for just one day to see Mom before heading to Canada for a wedding. I can't wait to see her, it's been way too many years!
• I am thinking of heading to Orlando sometime after the 17th, and am looking forward to some park time with Kerri! We will probably head to South Florida after a few days in Orlando, and will keep everyone posted.
• Pookie is getting a new groomer. Hubby finally had enough with the super pet place. We will never use their services again. Pookie will now be pampered at an exclusive doggy salon, lucky pooch!

Life with Kerri makes me smile, especially on hard days.
