A request from Dad to post this picture

Grandpa is still enjoying time bonding with Kaitlyn.  She came out with Tracy tonight for her first photo shoot with Crazy Auntie Mary.  She definitely loves the sound of Grandpa's voice as she opens her eyes and tries to find him when he's talking to her.  It's very sweet.

Dad had a pretty good day today.  Getting a good night's rest seems to really help.  We made it in to see our favorite nurse Judy at the cancer center - always a bright spot in our day to be able to stop by and say hello (and take care of a few things as well).

I have new incentive to make sure that the riding lawn mower gets fixed soon.  Have you ever tried to mow an acre lot with a regular mower?  I'll sleep well tonight, for sure.

Last night Mom and I were able to get into the Elton John / Billy Joel concert at the last minute (literally).  We arrived into town from Rochester after 5PM, and we stopped by to see the Huff family, get dinner for Dad, and change clothes to make it down to the Qwest center.  We ended up with fantastic seats right by the stage (for about half price).  3 1/2 hrs later, the piano playing stopped after the song "Piano Man," and we did indeed forget about life for awhile (as the song says).  A great night.

Not much happening until Sunday when we drive back up to Minnesota.  Uncle Mike from California is coming in for a quick trip, so we're thankful to be able to be back and see him this weekend.  We may try to take in one of grandson Dillon's baseball games as well.  That's all for now!
