Kat, that kind of creative play is so good for kids. It goes to the heart of their imaginations.

WSY, There's no fooling with a possibly faulty axle. Gotta do that ASAP, but you know that.

Michelle, you're going to have a great mother's day. I looked at your thread for a couple of posts. First, there was this one:

Well my friends, I have some BIG news!!!!

As many of you know, Pete and I have been involved in working towards adopting a baby from Ethiopia. Earlier this week we received a call that a baby within Pennsylvania was in need of a home and were we interested? YES! Of COURSE we said YES!!!

Yesterday at 4:30pm, Jeremiah Thomas joined our family. He is 3 months old and we are completely and totally in love!!!

He will be joining me for my last chemo treatment.....I couldn't figure out how to celebrate so God sent us a little surprise.....nothing could make me happier!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Photos soon!

Michelle

But this is the follow-up that is so sweet to read:

sorry..hit the submit by mistake...anyway, both doctors wrote letters stating that I had a complete hysterectomy, underwent a rigorous series of chemotherapy with no lasting side effects and there is no sign of disease. HOORAY!!! The real test for today was talking to our worker. She arrived and we discussed Jeremiah, the things he likes, what he's eating, his health, etc and then she said that everything looked good and was glad that everything was going smoothly. That's when we told her about the cancer (I was wearing my wig). She was GREAT about it and thanked us for being honest with her. She asked me if I was worried that she would take the baby and I told her that I have been concerned about it. She said there was no way she was going to take the baby away from us and that she felt we were doing an excellent job!!! I am SOOO relieved! I was SO afraid that she might take Jeremiah. It's been weighing on my mind heavily because it wouldn't just affect Jeremiah and myself but also my husband (and Mom too) who is absolutely in love with this sweet little boy.
    :) It's been a good day. Thank God for answered prayers.

Just a tiny reminder of the great stuff in your pink book. You are going to have a fabulous mother's day!

Beautiful day, lots to do here. This is when unintentional procrastination can happen, picking the easy things to do when the harder ones might be more urgent. Must make a list, and order the items by importance.
