Today is my dad's birthday, and we have been having a great time celebrating his life! Yesterday we had a birthday party while JP was home. Just the family, but fun none the less! The little kids certainly make everything lively! Mom and dad have a little kids kitchen, so the kids "cooked" us all sorts of things to eat. And Marcelo really likes to throw the sponge basketball....especially at Papa....which makes my dad laugh and smile...only encouraging Marcelo to throw it at him again. =)
Senna gave dad a beautiful picture of her kissing her Papa! It is now hanging just above my dad's head. It is so great for our little ones to still connect with my dad, even if he can't do things as he used to.
Today, Ethan had a "date" with Papa. It was a body painting date! Ethan first painted with body paint all over his own legs. Then asked me to paint on his face (a rainbow, a beach ball, and car). Then, with all these decorations, Ethan asked Papa if he could paint his legs for his birthday. So, my dad has all sorts of things painted all over his legs right now. Including three dinosaurs, several shapes, a coffee mug, a various other designs. Let me tell you that today's birthday date was filled with smiles, giggles, and laughter. It was a good birthday!
Health wise my dad is having a good day as well. He still have very thick secretions, but overall he is breathing well today. Each week he continues to decline, some weeks more than others. But we know that's going to happen. So, in the midst of all of this, we attempt to create more positive family memories together. I think yesterday and today were two great ones!
I wonder if my mom will let Ethan birthday body paint her this Thursday for her birthday? Hmmmmm.....
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support!
