Jack's finds


This is what I found in Jack's pockets tonight when he got undressed to take a bath. He said "Don't you like what I found mommy?" A HUGE rock and a jagged piece of glass.

Oh, and I have to tell what their reactions were to my haircut.
Olivia immediately cried upon seeing me and said "I don't like you with short hair. Are you gonna take me to school like that?"
Jack saw me the next morning and came in the room and said "I'm not laughing at you mommy" "Is that your new haircut or is it just bed head?" "I can wet it down for you mommy".
Owen saw me and said "You hair ugly, butthead"

Kids are great. Gotta love their honesty.

Dave and I both like the haircut now. Its kinda sassy. They say in about 10 days it should all fall out anyway. Oh well.

Hey Kristen!
This is Gina (Samantha's sister)
Geoff told me about your family's blog and I am so glad I found it!
I wanted you to know that I am
praying for you and that you, Dave and the kids are so on my mind. I am so glad that you are writing about your journey...it will be precious to you to go back and look at when God has healed you and you see how strong you were! Just know that you have so many people loving you and praying for you...just think...ya know, kinda like the group of people following the guy around in the Alltel commercials! :-) I have some links to some really encouraging blogs of women who have fought cancer and one about mothering through cancer if you would like them. Love to you!

I like the rock! I can't count how many I've found in my dryer.....(although not quite that huge). You're a much better person than I am for checking pockets before washing! (Since I just washed Martin's cell phone, he will agree with me! Ouch!)
OMG! Your kids are so funny! I love them!

Hi Kristin,
I know how you feel as I'm a 11 year breast cancer survivor. You are in my thoughts and prayers and I will be watching your progress.
You are a fighter and will be stronger than ever when this is over.
Love, Joyce Berry, Elizabeth City, N.C.

Hey Guys! I love the Lem Blog! I haven't seen anything this cool since I first went to an "In-ter-net" Cafe circa 1992! It was great seeing you and Dave and the kids at Christmas. Kirra just thinks that Olivia was like “the coolest girl ever” which she pretty much is.The Yucky news definitely sucks, so next time we visit you guys I want some Goody news like Johnny Depp is your new backyard neighbor and he likes to lay out in the nude. Craig and I have thought about you guys a lot. Nobody deserves this crap but least of all you two, because you are both awesome people. Kristen you have to put this all in perspective, you are going to get rid of this crappy ass cancer and get back to normal in no time at all, but Dave will have to live with the 2007 Dolphins season for life. Plus June Jones ditched us for Texas. Seriously where is the justice? I like the haircut by the way! And Craig always had a crush on Jamie Lee Curtis until I told him she was a genetic male ( it’s true) which freaked him out, but then I told him she was married to one of the guys in Spinal Tap so she is ok again.

Don’t forget free Disney World is waiting for you guys whenever you get back down here to the swamp!

Hey Kristen,

Nice hair!! I think it looks good. It reminds me of that girl pilot on Northern Exposure.

What Lisa didn't say in here comment about "Jack's find" was that I had washed her cell phone last October and she got all mad at me for not checking her pockets. I'm sure that she was mad a me when she washed my pants with my cell phone. Ya...we find a lot of things in the wash: phones, money, pottery tools and a lot of McDonald's happy meal toys.

Hope you're doing alright. Lisa and I are thinking of you a lot.

Keep up the blogging and stay strong.

Martin
