Happy Mother's Day

The was a very unusual Mother's Day. Mom was not able to attend dinner with us because she was in the hospital recovering from major cancer surgery. She is so amazing. She came through the surgery pretty darn good for 96. She was in good spirits and was able to get out of bed and sit on a chair for a while the day after surgery. Dr. Charlene was so helpful during this entire process. We cannot thank her enough for making sure Mom got the best of care. Anyway, after a large family dinner at So Napa restaurant in Maitland we all went back to the hospital to visit with Mom. Renee mad a delicious pistachio cake (unbelievable) and even Bella came to say hi to "Great Gram". When she came to dinner one of the first things she said was "Where's Great Gram?" I know she will not like this but here she is the morning after her surgery. She looks pretty awesome to me!

Here we are ready for Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day Sweetheart!

Happy Easter!

Holy Cow. Has it been since Christmas since I last put anything on this Blog? How lame is that? We were blessed to be with Bella, Traci, Joe and Cheryl and Tim for breakfast with the Easter Bunny at Brio's. It was a beautiful morning and we had a good time. So did Bella.

Christmas is getting closer. We are not going to have our grandchildren on Christmas Day, but we will get to see John, Kristen, Lola and little Johnny-Mike.

Great Gram's 96th Birthday

Sorry I'm late with this post. Mom turned 96 on Dec 8th so we had a celebration for her last Sunday. We all went to Bonefish Restaurant (Mom's choice) and we had a great dinner. It was nice to have our local family members there to help celebrate.

Bella visits Santa

We took Bella to the mall today along with Great Gram (Happy 96th Birthday Great Gram!). Today was special because 1) it's Great Gram's Birthday and 2) Bella was in the mood to visit Santa. She was all smiles and was actually happy to see Santa.
