A great birthday

I had a great birthday this year, I spent the whole day with John and Katie. We had a relaxing day of no cooking we ate out all three meals. Lunch was spent at Murray park, Katie loved crawling in the grass and putting her fingers in the dirt under the tree we were by. We had dinner with John's dad and siblings at the U hospital. Thanks to everyone for the birthday wishes, cards, and gifts.

Katie is soooo big!

Birthday girl relaxing!

Where we've been...

Earlier this summer my mother-in-law became very ill and since then it was discovered that she has colon cancer. After a surgery to remove a cancerous tumor she had complications due to a stomach ulcer. She was taken to the University Hospital Surgical ICU and has been there for more than 3 weeks. Fortunately she is recovering well and should be moved from the SICU to a recovery unit this week. She will be in the hospital for a while longer and still has to receive treatment for her cancer. We are grateful for the many prayers offered by family and friends: please keep praying as she has more recovering to do.
