Tales from the kids ....

Three funny stories that come directly from the grand kids......

Austin, Katie, Mom and Patrick were all having a conversation in the living room one day. The conversation turned to Mom and Patrick. Katie and Austin watched and listened quietly while Mom and Patrick continue to discuss whatever it was they were talking about .... Austin leans into Katie and whispers "When is Nannie going to get a job?!?!". Katie politely explained that Nannie is now retired. LOL

Mom, Jim, Owen and I went out to dinner to celebrate Mom's last radiation treatment. WAIT ........As a precursor for the story I should tell you that Owen was really sick last year with a flu and needed a suppository. With that said ... I will continue. Anyways, we are all in the car driving home when I announced to Owen that we went to dinner to celebrate that Nannie didn't have to take medicine for a while for her Cancer. Owen replied in a JOYFUL voice "Nannie you don't have to take BUTT medicine anymore?!?!?!". After talking we found out that Owen totally expected that Nannie would need a suppository because she is really sick ... and he needed one when he was really sick. Mom made sure to let him know that she never needed that type of medicine through all of this. LOL

On Sunday we were all over at Mom and Jim's house chatting in the living room while the kids played in the spare room. Austin came out of the room and announced that he found a digital camera and started showing us the pictures that he took. Once we looked at the pictures our conversation resumed. While we were talking we noticed Austin go around the back of the couch to take a picture. Little did we know, he was taking a picture of Mom's now visible scar from the brain surgery. When he was done, he came around the couch just as happy as pie and quietly went over to his Mother. He discretely shows her the picture of Mom's scar and said "Look I got a picture of Nannie's purple spot!" LOL

With those said ... Mom is feeling well. She is happy to have a couple of weeks off of the non-stop doctor appointments. Jim is enjoying his job and they are enjoying their time together.

OMG, the kids are funny. Leave it to them to bring out the innocence in a crazy situation. I am dying over the fact that Owen thought that all medicine for really sick people had to be administered in the butt.

Thinking of you often,

Out of the mouths of babes-nothing is left to chance. Loved the stories and glad you can all laugh out loud each and every day. Enjoy your break Bobbi. Get some strength back for the next go round. Our thoughts and prayers are always with you. Love Sharon
