Dirt cake with gummy worms and Cookies and Cream Ice cream for Max’s Birthday 
Yep! 20 candles he blew out
Had to get a picture with Vader in it with him.  I scared Vader a little when I got really close with my walker

I was so happy I could actually get my own medicine, sit up myself and take it without waking Bill up to help me.  Lots of improvements.  I slept longer in bed, then after that I moved out by myself, went to the bathroom, carried stuff I needed in my basket to the walker.  After sleeping in stretched out arm position.  I am using a cloth card holder bag that Jared’s mom made for me.  It works great as a phone holder right now. I got Jared in the background for her. Mom’s always like to see pictures of their boys!  Melissa came over at Noon.  Dad had left to pick up Max from college and since it was his birthday, he was taking him to Culver’s afterwards.  Melissa helped me so much with my therapy.  I sure helps with the harder ones to have someone make it so I can do it the right way.  When I went too lift up my surgery leg with Melissa, it went just fine and I could even move it on the bed now.  Melissa has probably had more therapy than anyone I know.  She was a great help and I did them all this time even the chair one.  I was tired after that.  Bill brought our food and we ate, then Melissa had to go pick up the boys from school.  She was going home to make banana bread, then Bruce, Jack, Max and Melissa were coming back to bring birthday cake and ice cream for Max’s Birthday.  We all had dirt cake and ice cream. except Evan who was in Grand Rapids with his friend Lydia’s family to see a Cirque du Soleil. The birthday goodies were sure good.  Yum!  Thanks Bruce!.  Melissa brought yummy banana cake for us too, but we will have that tomorrow.  She found an easy recipe that is so delicious.  Thanks Hailey.  I need to know this secret too.  Bruce took Jack to fencing class and Bill took Melissa and Max home.  I went and got my teeth brushed and got ready for bed.  I stay in comfy stuff all day.  I texted Kimmy because Vikki said they would probably be at Kohls in Saginaw tonight. They were.  I asked if they were going to stop over since they were so close by.  They did and I was so happy.  I haven’t seen them since the night before my surgery.  I sure need those hugs.  I showed them how I can walk pretty good now and they all cheered me on.  Jared said I walked a lap!  My lap was around the living room, then through the dining room, then through the kitchen, then the other dining area, then the foyer and then back to the living room.  We sure had a nice visit and it sure felt good to have them here.  I love having all of my family here to see.  



Picture Eli’s Uncle Dee drew for him and put a pendant on for Eli.  It is very cool.  

They got ready to leave.  We said our goodbyes and I got a hug from Kimmy.  I took my bedtime meds and now I am really ready for bed.  It was a great family day. I got to FaceTime Kenzie and Rehvyn and got to FaceTime Vikki, Peyton and Isaac too.
