Celebrating Early!

Here's Goosey (Woody) with four of his eight grandchildren.  We went next door after lunch to have cupcakes for an early celebration for Father's Day.  Nathan and family won't be here on Father's Day so we celebrated today instead.  Everyone was so excited!  They love any reason to celebrate and this time they had two good reasons...their daddy and their Goosey!  Kathy has had a busy day of using up her zucchini and yellow squash.  I'm not sure how many loaves of zucchini bread she ended up making...but quite a few and also several yellow squash casseroles.  One of Woody's gifts was a loaf of the zucchini bread...yum (I look forward to enjoying that gift too)!  Kathy ran out of oil and flour at one point and decided to take Elijah on a bike ride to get some.  I stayed with Isaac and Graham and Woody took the three girls to the library.  Woody and Graham have spent some time once again checking out identification for different bugs...Graham keeps finding interesting bugs and then he and Goosey attempt to identify them using an insect book that we have and also looking on the internet.  I used the time I was over at their house as an opportunity to get some photos of Isaac.  Tomorrow he will be five months old...time does fly!  Woody walked seven miles early this morning.  I have read, done crossword puzzles, deadheaded and weeded.  It has been quite a pleasant day weather-wise and other wise!

Woody informed me yesterday that I had forgotten to tell you that they took 11 vials of blood for his labs at NIH this time! So he wouldn't have to have more drawn by our doctor, he dropped off the lab reports on our way home on Thursday.  Yesterday he had communication with her office and she changed his blood pressure meds...stopping one and upping the other to three times a day (per suggestion of the NIH docs).  Now time will tell if doing it this way will get his blood pressure under better control and not compromise his creatinine levels.
