Birthday Number 45!!!!

We had a super birthday party for John this year! We weren't sure we were going to be at home for the party, because John was in the hospital until Thursday night! What an awesome celebration we had! There were over 45 people who came to wish John a happy birthday! I was able to get most of your pictures but I missed a few! Those that I missed were captured on the video! The pictures and video etched this in our minds but the love of our friends and family will forever be etched on our hearts! You all have been such a blessing to us. God has truly shown us such favor by surrounding us with such an amazingly supportive group of people!

After the Saturday celebration John started his fourth set of radiation. This is a very strong dose of radiation so it completely wipes him out. We are looking forward to having a nice restful Sunday and trying to regain some of his strength back!

Take some time and check out John's B-day pictures...My dearest friend Lisa is going to make a CD for me so as soon as we get together I will send some out!

John and Alaina have a very special bond...Father, daughter love is priceless!
