On Sunday, we celebrated my birthday with the Kons Family. It was a very nice evening with one of my favorite dinners, some really nice presents, and best of all everyone wore their Kelly's Army shirts and took these cute pictures. I love the top-right one as it basically represents what my life is like on a day-to-day basis (well, really the sequence of the four kids and I together represents my life, but my favorite is the top-right). Thanks for a great birthday celebration, Kons Family!
Next, I think it may have been last Friday that Matt came home with a Movie Night pack for us from the Becker Family. I took a picture, but I think I left some things out (like some licorice and other candy). The kids just loved this and couldn't wait to watch the movie, which we did on Saturday. What a great idea and thank you so much, Becker Family. It was just what we all needed! What an awesome thing to do!!!
We also received, last week, two cards from the Dison family - one from the Dave Dison Family and one from Bonnie, Ken and Mike Dison. This is truly amazing to me, because I cannot remember the last time I had contact with Dave Dison. And yet, and his entire family were kind enough to think of us and to send us gift cards and money, so we don't have to make a meal (or two or five!). Thank you so much Dison's!
I am so impressed by the generosity and thoughtfulness of people. I can truly say that although I might think of doing things like this for other people, that I rarely get my act together to make it happen. I am so easily distracted by the things immediately around me. But, not only are there so many people who have good intentions, there are also a ridiculous amount of people who actually follow through on those intentions. That's really amazing to me!
On Monday, both the Hoeppner's and my wonderful husband, Matthew, brought me birthday flowers. The bouquet they made together was just gorgeous.
Thank you so much, Bill, Stacie, and Breanna. I just love the bright colors and those tiny roses are some of my favs. Thank you!
Finally (I think?), we had some wonderful meals this week. Sadly, I only took a picture of one. The Wurtzbachers Baked Ziti - so yummy! Even more wonderful, Erin made a pan for my parents as well! How fabulous to help take care of the people who are caring for me! Thank you, Erin!
We also received birthday brats (a family favorite) from the Schwars and some awesome allergy-free taco fixin's from the Fox family Thank you all so, so much! I have said it before, but will say it again - I know there are a few reasons why everything is going so well with me and one of those reasons is the amount of stress that is relieved by not having to worry about making dinner. Thank you!
I also continue to receive weekly cards from Mary Ann Steuber and the Keith and Dede Marty. Their thoughtfulness in doing this is just amazing to me. Thank you so much! Those cards make a great difference in my week. I may start to get depressed about something, but then a card arrives and I snap right out of it. Thank you.
Oh! One more thing - I continue to get new crazy sock photos. I add those all to my new Crazy Sock Page. Be sure to check it out. Thank you!
