the week in review...

here is a quick update of the past week....


thursday 5/8:

---

trish had her first appointment with her Healing Touch partner, chanda. she really enjoyed the session, and said she was able to really relax and feel the positive energy throughout her body.
i have no doubt that this will prove to be a great program for trish.

trish's sister, yvonne, flew in from holland for a visit. trish and yvonne only see each other about once every couple of years, so this is a special time for two of them to hang out..



friday 5/9:

---

trish went to the movies with her sister and mom, and saw 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall'

the house cleaners came... a bunch of our friends pitched it and paid for a years worth of house cleanings... thank you very much to all of you.

jen, robert and cooper tozi stopped by for a bit and dropped off some dinner..


saturday 5/10:

---

trish went shopping with yvonne, as our friend jay and myself played plumber for the day.

those familiar with our 4 year long master bathroom renovation (okay, maybe 5 year) will be happy to hear that we have all our tile done (thanks whitey), but more importantly, WE HAVE A WORKING TOILET... trish was quite happy to say the least... no more trips down the hall in the middle of the night to the other bathroom..

i plan on having the sink in sometime in the next 4 years.


sunday 5/11:

---

we had a very nice mother's day brunch over at steve & cerena's, with all of trish's family... we ate too much as we watched caden and cousin lucas play around in the backyard...



monday 5/12:

---

during the morning, trish and her dad brought caden to his gymnastics class down at the rec center...

yvonne made us a nice dutch dish for dinner...

in the late afternoon, trish decided it was time for a new, new do...
trish's hair was becoming easier to pull out. she wasn't to the point of losing clumps of hair, but her scalp was constantly itchy, and she was afraid scratching her head would pull too much hair out...

so..... it was time.

she had her brother, casey (an expert with the bald head), shave all but about 1/2" off..

it turned into a head shaving party as our friend eric, trish's dad judas, our nephew trevor, and my cousin kevin took part in the shaving as well... for some reason, bella (the dog) was no where to be found during all of this...

our biggest concern was how caden would react.... so while trish was getting her haircut, caden was right in front watching as trish's hair became shorter and shorter...

he took it great... he could care less if his mom has long or short hair... that makes two of us...


tuesday 5/13:

---

trish and yvonne spent the day in san francisco... hitting up the ferry building, ghiradelli square and union square... they made it back to redwood city in time for the tail end of story time at the library (trish and caden have been going to this for ~ 14 months)


wednesday 5/14:

---

trish, along with caden, lucas, yvonne and ria went to the San Francisco Zoo.

mr. and mrs. p... ron sr. and dianne puccinelli brought by some chicken, veggies and dessert...
