Cannon the WALKING one year old!

I had to add that sweet picture of my brother in the Mo's People shirt. He didn't seem to want us to have a picture of him wearing it, so after much persuasion, this is what we got. He said he decided not to send the one of him with the speedo and the shirt tied to the side. That kid makes me laugh.
There was a woman singing in the waiting room at radiation last week. One woman, her guitar with a music stand, and the robed radiation patients. At first I thought it was nice that it was something different. However, as I sat there, I didn't know if I should look at her, keep doing the puzzle, sing along or just bust out dancing. At one point it was just me and her, everyone else was being radiated, so it was just me. It was really awkward. She then asked for requests. I told her anything was great, and that she had a lovely voice. Lovely voice, does that sound like something I would say? I'm an idiot. Anyway, Mary & I are back to puzzle #3, no singing, much better.
We had a party for Cannon Saturday because he turned one!! I guess I have to stop calling him baby Cannon. I can't believe he's one already. I went through the guilt of "I missed his whole year because I was sick" thing and am now to "he got to have more time with his grandparents." Objectively, I know I didn't miss a whole year, I know I shouldn't feel guilt, etc, but guilt is what I do.
Cannon also walked for the first time Saturday! He cruised across the living room floor to applause and cheers from Brent, Rick, Debbie, Amos, and I. It was awesome. He was laughing and loving it. The more excited we looked as he was coming at us, the more he would laugh. Brent got some pictures, so I'll get those on here soon. Lauren suggested I take a video and put it on here, so if I can get him to do it again with video, I'll give it a shot.
I'm pretty excited that I have this month, which is the shortest month, then just a week and a day and I'm done with this part of the process. My mom is here this week to help out, which is awesome considering Brent started his busy season, and I need to sleep once in a while. My Aunt Linda is going to start coming a couple of days a week next week to help out too. Having her around will help out massively, Brent and I can get a little bit of time to chill out and relax, or sleep. Plus, Max is excited that Aunt Linda is coming. She makes chicken nuggets with goldfish crackers that have been deemed "Linda's chicken nuggets." Its always fun to have Aunt Linda around, you never quite know what's going to happen.

Always enjoy you sharing your thoughts! Good thing there wasn't a lady singing in the waiting room when we did this "stuff"! I would never have been comfortable singing along! I got kicked out of music class in the six grade because my voice was so bad! The teacher thought I was making it up and being troublesome! I wasn't!
Wow, Canon a year old and walking! Love watching your kids grow up. Reminds me of watching Brent!!!
Almost done,keep swimming! Converse!!!!!

Bob, I'm sure you have a lovely voice. Ha ha, I know I can sing really well in my car with the radio turned up really loud. Cannon refuses to walk again by the way, apparently he only performs for an audience...

Happy Birthday Cannon!! Colt walked across the room on his first birthday as well, from then he has never stopped!! Thanks for the comment on my blog, I had to laugh about the cussing during delivery part:) I don't think I will share that one with Dave, then again he does get on and read these comments from time to time. Hope you are getting some much needed rest!!! Tell Brent Hi.

Don't feel guilty that you missed time Cannon. In actuallity he won't even remember his first year. So, good news for you! I'm gald to hear that you are of course still keeping positive that this is almost over. Just keep crossing them off your list, I love crossing things off, like planting days! Take care.
