Greetings!!
Not to get too much into the nitty gritty of the day-to-day, but wanted to blog about the lovely afternoon I had with my mother-in-law, Kate, today. The big surgery is two days away and those of you who know Kate will know she would never embark on a hospital visit without nails or hair being just right....so off to the beauty salon we went for cut and color. About 2 hours and a quite a few laughs later, she came out looking like a million bucks! Of course it wouldn't be a day out with KO (as we lovingly refer to her...that's a story for another time) without lunch, we are definitely "ladies who lunch" :)
We did talk about the upcoming surgery, which I know she is nervous about. I was surprised to learn this will be her first hospital stay, other than having her 3 kids. I'm not sure if she's more nervous about the surgery or getting there via the Schuylkill expressway--oh how she hates that road.
On a more serious note, I must say the way our family has come together in support and love of one another has been amazing. I am so proud to call Kate, Albert, Jen, Shawn, Lisa and (of course) Jake my family. Individually, we are all pretty great :) but together we are one powerful force!
KO, we love you and I look forward to having you beat me on the golf course in the near future (I'm really not that competitive, ha ha :)
Love to all those I know and those I've yet to meet.

Stef - This post made me laugh out loud - about getting the hair and nails done!!! I can picture this completely and it made me recall cousin Maddie's Bar Mitvah and our preparations for that. I actually got to experience getting hair and nails done with Kate! We had a ball - but of course!!!
I know that today's surgery day - we are thinking of all you. YES, OUR FAMILY IS AMAZING! xoxoxoxoxo to you all.
