  2. Yikes.......maybe next time I need to preview my comments before posting them so I can do a little spell checking when it's so late at night. That should be "stepping stool"....
    Love, Val

  4. Beautiful they were. I miss the days when my eldest, Heather, and her friends would get all dressed up and out they went for the big dance. Morgan is so beautiful in her own way but different and not at all interested in the whole dance thing so I have to rely on those memories and the ones you have shared with us all tonight. Thank you for sharing.

  6. Haven't visited your sight in awhile. I came here today and read up. WOW, how you have inspired me. I sit here with a smile and tears at the same time. I read back about Daves two year passing. I am reminded how precious life is. The pictures of homecoming and football are great. You and the kids are certainly living life and enjoying it with all the it has to give to you. Your posts show this! Thanks for being awe inspiring to me. Kelli

  7. Pretty dashing young men in the Meyer house! I know Dave is proud. Of course as a fellow sentamentalist, I would also say, wow...where has the time gone.

    My mom used to say when I was a young man that she could see the "shadow of the 'someday' man" in my face, my eyes or my expressions as I sat between boyhood and the world of men. I see glimpses in Ryan now at 13 and certainly see more than a shadow or hint in the boys I once knew in your house.

    There is a hint of sadness for the sentamentalist as you know Shell, but at the same time it brings a big smile to my face and I am excited to see these growing men take on the world.

    Hope that wasn't too sappy, but it comes out once in awhile :o)

    Love you guys!
    Will, Stacy and the boys

  8. My goodness, they are MEN !!! How handsome, sweet and fun. Looks like a great group too. Love homecoming, neither of my boys school had football so our homecomings were very lame. Missed that. Enjoy these times as hard as it is Chelle because they disappear all too quickly.

    love u.

Kyle

Tomorrow is January 2. One of the five happiest days of my life. It's the day Kyle was born. Dave was so excited. All through the pregnancy, Dave was sure this was a girl. He bought this little pink sleeper. He was just sure that Kyle was a girl. Actually, he was sure it was a girl all four times! But if he were to be a boy, his name was to be Kenny or Erik. Kenny or Erik. Erik or Kenny. We went back and forth. Dave said, "Oh, it didn't matter anyway, since Amanda Loree was going to be born." A few days before Kyle was born, we had an ultrasound, because there had been so much confusion on his due date (turned out he was 3.5 weeks overdue!), and we discovered he was a boy! A boy! We were amazed. And suddenly decided to name him Kyle. Don't ask me why or how. It just happened. Dave's brother, Bob, was in town for the weekend. I'd had a lot of contractions on Dave's birthday, he was hoping that Kyle would be born on his birthday, but it didn'

Tumor Board

Tuesday, August 17, 2004 1:13 PM CDT We met with doctors at Harborview yesterday. Dave has a new growth in his right frontal lobe. This new growth is very small, but it was not evident at his MRI in May, and shows on the MRI in July. It's quite scary that it has grown so quickly, and is in a new place. It's also scary that it grew while Dave was on temodar (chemo). The doctors from the tumor board are recommending gamma knife. Gamma knife is high intensity radiation that is very accurate and focused on the tumor growth. There are 201 beams aimed at the tumor. (See the main page for a link to information about gamma knife, you have to scroll to the bottom.) On Thursday, August 19, 2004, Dave will undergo gamma knife at Harborview in Seattle. We are hoping that this will halt the growth of the tumor. He will go into the hospital at 7:00 am and they will place a halo or frame around his head, by screwing it into his skull (ouch! They will give him some IV pain meds). They took x-r

Goodbyes

So I had my first Walla Walla goodbyes. The first was my eye doctor, Dr. Poffenroth. He's taken care of my eyes for 25 years. He's more than just an eye doctor.  He's a caring person and a friend. As I left my last appointment, he handed me a card with a referral to a friend of his who practices in Port Angeles. I looked at the card. And realized...I won't see him again. I've been living in a bit of denial. I know.  Big surprise. With all the excitement and chaos of moving, And all the stress of living in limbo, I somehow missed that I'd be leaving some things some people behind. I know I'll be back often. To see my kids and the new grandbaby, friends and family. This fact allowed me to forget... there are some I won't see. Even though we promise to keep in touch, Life has a way of getting busy. Good intentions and all that. I  have written many times about Walla Walla. It's a magical place. Safe, nurturing. I never thou
