Today is Jon's 53rd birthday. He returned from an enjoyable visit to Staci's last night. Today we had the pleasure of Kelsey driving us to church (driver's test April 8) and then our usual Pho brunch. Levi, Ericka and Maelie visited all afternoon and Maelie had her first ride in the pedal boat. Her pink lifejacket from last years birthday finally fits her and she enjoyed "quacking" at all of the ducks on the lake. Elizabeth treated Jon to lunch last Wednesday as she couldn't join us for the festivities today.
I made everyone's favorite dinner of pot roast and mashed potatoes with chocolate/cinnamon angle food cake for dessert. Jon lifted weights this afternoon while the rest of us prepared dinner and entertained Maelie. Ericka commented that it was hard to believe that a year ago today we were all celebrating in the hospital and here Jon is working out. It truly is amazing!
Jon seems to be tolerating this new chemo well albeit early to tell. He seemed a bit tired while in California but no nausea or surprise vomiting. Jon likes to say that after he turned 40 he stopped enjoying birthdays but since he was diagnosed with cancer every birthday is well worth celebrating.

I'm glad you enjoyed your visit Dad. Hope you can come down for some more vitamin D soon.
