Happy Birthday MOM!!!!

So this year will be special for mom, now that Pete is with her in heaven for her birthday. I miss them both so much. Mom would have been 69 today and just as beautiful as ever!

Today has been a nice relaxing day so far. Nothing planned or scheduled to do today. We slept in then watched a movie in the playroom. Now Ila is playing. I'm not sure what they have planned for dinner here tonight but hopefully it's something Ila will eat. She can be so picky sometimes.

Please keep in your prayers all of our friends out there fighting. A special prayer for Morgan who had surgery yesterday to remove 2 tumors only to find a 3rd as well and they ended up removing part of her right lung. They got it all, we hope. www.caringbridge.org/visit/morganrosedeckard. Also we met a new friend that we shared a room with for 3f8 this week. She is adorable. www.caringbridge.org/visit/delaneybrown. Ila is very excited about seeing her friends here. We are waiting for some to come this week. She has asked me every day throughout the day since we got here wher Kieran is. Kieran, if you don't remember, is her fiance. ;) They are coming on Tuesday ad it can't come quick enough for her. She has been trying to negotiate how many more days till they get here. She's too much. Our friends, Robyn and Justin will be here tomorrow. I'm looking forward to seeing them too. Hopefully Justin will distract Ila from wondering where Kieran is.
Thanks for all the love and support and prayers.

Love, Jenny
