Jenna is counting down her chemos! 2 to go! On Thursday we started preparing her for chemo session on Monday, like we always do. Each time she seems to get more and more disappointed about having to endure another. Can't blame her. By Saturday she was starting to feel sorry for herself. Cameron had a friend's birthday party at Adventure Landing (mini-golf and arcade) and Jenna was told she couldn't go. We reminded her that this was not a party for her friend, but she knows that she is not allowed to go certain places because of chemo. Actually, her bloodwork has been great lately. But she still remembers that we told her she had to wait till after chemo was over to go to Chuck E Cheese. Now that's what she is working toward. "Jenna Lee....you just finished your last chemotherapy session. What are you gonna do now?" "I'm goin' to Chuck E Cheese!"

Cameron had his birthday party at the skating rink (yes, Jenna went too) and he is getting so much more confident in his skating. He opted to receive presents this year instead of donating to charity like he did last year. We can understand that - Jenna has been getting the lion's share of attention and gifts lately. We did tell him he has to weed out and donate some of his old toys to make room for new ones. He got a couple of Webkinz, games, some baseballs and baseball cards, lots of other stuff and even some gift cards that he will love shopping with. He passed his next TaeKwonDo belt test last week as well. He is going to perform some of what he has learned at the 1st grade talent show at school this week. He wants to show his friends how to break a wooden board with his bare foot.

Kevin got to go try out his kayak at Hanging Rock park this weekend - thanks to Nana who took care of the kids while I had to work some overtime. He said he had fun and didn't even flip over. And he has definitely rediscovered some muscle groups. I'm glad he got to get outdoors and play for a while - we all need a break sometimes. Maybe some day I will find a way to allow myself to take a break too. Right now I am just enjoying seeing both of my kids happy and energetic - it's almost like it used to be. But I still can't let myself think like that yet......
