It's a Holly Jolly Christmas!

And the best time of the year...ehh hem...done in my very best Santa voice. Ok done with the cheese! :-)

Hi everyone! It's sure been a minute since we've written - normally when that happens things seem to be going well so I guess it's a good thing!?

My Dad overall continues to progress positively! The spacing of his check ups down south is getting further and further apart because he is not needing blood products near as often or constant monitoring.  He still has intense pain which he is on medication for and his hemoglobin isn't quite where they want it to be, but those are both still normal side effects at this point in his recovery.  He has good days and not so good days, but overall is his slowly getting back into the swing of things!  I am still told constantly (as are my parents and sister) that people are thinking and praying for my dad, which is the best Christmas present we could ask for - along with his continued remission of course.

Please keep up those prayers! God hears us all.  Thank you so much!!

Below are some festive pictures from the Bill Ray Tile, Pro Tile West, and the Fresno Bill Ray Tile store/family and friends Christmas party that was held at the Stars Theatre.  Fun times!!

A Visit with Santa

Seriously?!! SOOO CUTE! 



I seriously don't think anything has made me smile as big as this picture did in quite some time. My mom and dad went strolling through the mall the other day - unbelievable.  They went shopping for some new clothes and couldn't pass up a visit with the man himself.  My dad has a beautiful, genuine smile on his face and looks AMAZING! When he was in the hospital, they always start by asking name and DOB before they administered anything, even in his most critical states he would tell them "George Clooney".  Well Dad, I think you do resemble George!! :-) 

Things over the past week have been slowly getting better.  Dad went to City of Hope on Monday and yesterday, and needed no transfusions, numbers are climbing back up.  He doesn't have to go back for two weeks!! 

Now this is the way to start a weekend!! Ya hoo!!
