This is just too nice!

So, we are are the new pediatric cancer clinic at UNC this morning. At the moment, Grant is blissfully playing with his pal William. They are opening boxes of new Transformers that have been donated for the new playroom. Owen and his dad are playing "Sorry" on a real game table. Across the hall, kids are playing "Starfall" at the 2 new computer stations! I am sitting on a beautifully uphosltered bench where I have enough room to sit.... and type..... and breathe! What's going on here?

Seriously, the waiting room at this place is bigger than the whole clinic across the street!

I didn't even wear make-up!? Who knew.... I feel like I should have on heels instead of flip-flops!

So far, counts look great. The sedation clinic (spinal tap) is a little slow to get going. They haven't started yet and I think we are #8 or #9 on the list, so we'll still be here a while. That's ok. I feel like I'm on vacation at a spa! OK - maybe that's taking it a little too far!

I took a bunch of pictures. I'll post later!

Emily! Thank you so much for the sweet card(the magnet is on my fridge) and the Arrrrrrrgh sticker! Of course we love it and we love the Nelsons! It's always so nice to get mail from family especially when you are far away from home.

Can't wait to see the pictures!

We hope all is well with the family and that the kids school year will begin well, stay well, and end well!

Em - I'm just catching up with the blog and it is such WONDERFUL news to hear about Grant! And the new, improved clinic!

I miss you guys and wish I:

a) Were as tan as all of your crowd
b) Had some land to plant some squash and watermelons -- sounds so good!

:)
Love you,
Kel
