More Signs of Spring

Hearts all a flutter,
people getting twitterpated,
like Zach and Kate
buying Valentine's presents.

And this flower that came to me at work, with a card: "Dave is thinking of you today. A Friend."

Wow. Thank you, friend, whoever you are. Thank you.

Oh...
and this...


and this....

Flying baseballs, flying frisbees.
Yep.
Spring is here.

  1. I had to laugh at the baseball and frisbee castastrophies - kids!!!

    I have no doubt that Dave is thinking of you - every day, forever.

    Sending many prayers to you and your family

  4. Spring is in the air indeed. The sun is shinning earlier, there are actually birds chirping now in the early morning and the sun is coming through the kitchen window. Oh I love those things and I am sure in some small way the broken window must put a smile on your face :) I know for sure Dave was thinking about you on the 14th and every other day and wishing he could have delivered that rose in person but glad his special delivery arrived!

  5. Okay, my friend, my fellow traveller, Sue...
    You know that you're one of my prime suspects. You, along with Dee and Peter W. Or maybe Mindy. Am I close??????

  6. Wish I could claim the thought; not that I didn't think of it, but not me. I think you might be getting warm though! You make me laugh. . . .

  7. Prime suspects for what? Did I miss something? What a beautiful day in Walla Walla. Everyone should be here.
    Happy Spring.

  8. Prime suspects in the infamous rose caper! That anonymous gift that came on Valentine's Day. Could it be you, Kathie??

  9. We bought a Wii on Friday and already I have a light on the ceiling fan broken where it attaches! I am hoping for no more household accidents! But yes, spring is here for sure!
    I still can't believe I found one here in town! Good ol' Shopko!!
    I actually like this set up! Wireless is wonderful!
    I was thinking of you on Valentines day but I am not the rose caper.
    Kenny looks awesome! Love the Blue bands! I bet he wears those colors the whole time! No changing his mind.
    Enjoy the long weekend!
    Love Ya!

  11. Looks like more spamming! What's going on? I wonder if you can add one of those things where you have to type in the letters you see in one of those funky wobbly grid things.

  12. Chelle,

    Cannot believe it is spring there, we are still buried in sub zero and snow. Think a trip out your way is warranted! Am actually going to spring training in Phoenix next weekend, that's the closest I'LL be getting to baseball anytime soon!! Love that pic!!
    Your rose surprise is lovely, how sweet. So sweet. And yes, Dave was, and is, thinking of you, always! Sending hugs to the Meyer clan!

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...

Catching Up

Hello Constant Reader, Friend, Ally, Supporter, Prayer Warrior, Brother, Sister... I'm not sure what I would do without the support I get through this blog. I might go insane. Wait...I might be there already. In fact so much so that I asked my children tonight what they thought of moving to the Seattle area. They all looked at me like I had three heads. I'm not thinking of doing anything drastic, but I look around and realize that in many ways, I'm terribly unhappy and lonely. So like any good 12-stepper, I look for a quick fix...geographical cure. Wouldn't it be nice to start over? Just ditch everything and go somewhere new and fresh and clean? Not really, I guess. For instance, we would have missed this one: Zach says, "Mom, I need lunch money." (This, as I'm sweetly encouraging Kenny for the 15th time to get in the shower, as I'm gently reminding Kate for the 10th time to brush her teeth, as I'm giving positive affirmations to them all...
