A good day

Today was another sunny day so Jaidyn and I decided to go swimming in “Tashi’s pool” as she calls it. Even though Tashi is now away at college we still went to dip out feet in. I was informed by Jaidyn that that’s all she really wanted to do. She also let me know that Dustin was only allowed to come and go swimming as long as he didn’t splash her in the pool. 

Like mother like daughter.

Not long after we get there she of course asks for pizza, which thankfully I packed a cooler full of her current cravings even though we only were planning on staying for a couple hours.
Dipping our feet in while eating pizza was a great combination, we even brought the pizza over to the trampoline and ate it there. She was laughing so hard jumping up and down on the trampoline.. It was so nice to hear that giggle again.


Back to the pool to eat again. This time some amazing Serbian cake from the party on the weekend. Dustin was showing off his dives and Jaidyn was rating them. First dive a ONE second dive a TWO and so on… the best one however, is in the video... notice he gets a full FOUR!




Then the two of us decided to go out and run some errands for the first time on our own which didn’t really end the greatest since I didn’t bring a stroller and she insisted on being carried everywhere. She now has barely any strength in her legs due to the chemo/steroids as well as she has now gained 9 lbs since we started this ordeal… It's not easy to carry around that weight, along with her belly that actually gets in the way. She told the lady at the cash register she had 10 babies in there and that the lady could have one of them. At least she still has some personality through out all of this.


Came home took a little nap, ate dinner, went for a nice long walk, insisted we order sushi from downstairs, watched the fake jellyfish swim around in the tank and then came home and went to bed.


Fingers cross she sleeps tonight.
