Well, Brian and the kids will be back to Bakersfield to spend Easter break with us. Brady and Brians 1st adventure will be a trip with Tanner, Tim, Dustin and Gabrielle to see the Angels play. Hailey will enjoy "girls day" with Auntie, Mum-Mum and Cal. I think we will just have to visit our favorite nail shop for some mani/pedi's, lunch and perhaps a movie. A little shopping couldn't hurt ;) Brian is having surgery on his ankle Thursday the 9th. He doesn't want to worry the kids by watching him hobble around so he's asked my parents to take them to the beach. I will stay with Brian and make sure he follows ALL the Dr's orders. I'm here to tell you, he's a much better caregiver than he is a patient, but I'm up for the challenge;)
Brian is enjoying the kids baseball season and just finished up his Sunday basketball league where rumor has it, he's pretty good on the boards. Way to go bro!

Kelly's garden took my breath away, as well as the toasts and gifts exchanged. It really was beautiful and so fitting for our beloved and precious Kelly. Thank you to her parents who hosted us all. It was terrific and I love you both so much. Brandy and Matt, it's a rough road, but we are not alone and we will find our way with Kellys guidance.

Tim and I will be meeting my parents in Santa Barbara tomorrow, so you won't be hearing from me for a few days. I'm sure we will hit up our favorite place in SB...Ruby's Cafe:)

Love to all and be safe in your travels!
Pray On!

Good luck with the surgery Brian. Hope you and the kids enjoy your visit otherwise.
Larry's Cyber Knife went well and now they say his pains are being caused by nerve damage in his back so they will be meeting with a neuro surgeon tomarrow morning to see if they can help by deadening the nerve endings that are affected.

Shelley, I hope your get-away to Santa Barbara was just what you needed. Keep up your strength & spirits, you've been through alot. Knowing that you're looking after Brian he is in great hands!!!

And, I hope that Brian's surgery allows him to enjoy the caring & pampering that he gave as a caregiver and as a parent.

Have a blessed week ahead!!!
