April 5
Monday, April 6th, 2009We had an eventful week this week!
Allyson’s wish granters paid us a visit Tuesday night. They were very nice! It is not official, but the wish Ally requested was to go to the Give Kids the World Village down in Orlando (http://www.gktw.org). We all get to go and stay at the village, and while we are there, we get tickets to Disney World, Sea World, and I believe Universal Studios. Ally loves animals, so a visit to the Animal Kingdom will be a favorite I’m sure. She also wants to meet the princesses at the castle; I believe she offically requested to meet Ariel and Sleeping Beauty.
Brad is busy finding a new job. He’s already had an interview, and the follow-up/second interview is this Thursday. Other “feelers” are out as well. We’re keeping our fingers crossed.
Ally and Benjamin are doing well. Our friends, The Salmons, came over for a visit Saturday evening. All of our kids had a great time playing with each other. Ally was tired, so she was the first to crash out. Sunday morning, we visited the castle playground again. Ally and Ben love it there, so we try to go as much as we can…it is so close to our house.
Sunday evening, we went over to our friends, Josh and Cheryl’s, new house. The kids had their first interactions with a cat. Ben took to the cat right away. He was sooo cute with her. He’d get down on the floor and talk right at her. Patches would roll over onto her side for Ben to pet her. Ally wasn’t so sure at first, but after a while, she warmed up and love the cat too. She spent lots of time with playing with the cat’s toys (and the cat!). It was really cute.
Ally has another treatment this week - the extra-mega dose of chemo and a spinal tap. Brad’s parents are coming in for Easter. Busy, busy, busy!
