While I was in radiation, I kept myself locked in my bedroom from Wednesday afternoon until Sunday morning. It was hard on me to hear everyone but not be able to see or touch them. In the evenings, we would Skype. That was nice. In the day time, the kids were very busy making little gifts for me to send under the door. I took some pictures of them. There were far more than these, but these were some of my faves . . .

Sam wrote me notes all day long. This one says "Mom" and "Sam" with a heart.

The kids put together these snowmen with the help of Grandma. I lined them up on my bathroom counter and they made me smile.

The cut out flowers and other pictures and glued them to cards and wrote their names--Noelle even wrote her name.

Sam's very Pollockesque drawing. How does it make you feel? Aren't my kids wonderful?
