This past weekend the kids and I did a nice drive down to Santa Cruz to have lunch with my friends. We had a great time hanging out there. It was so wonderful to see my friends whom I haven't seen for a few months since I stopped working. So, thank you M, for inviting us and cooking great yummy Thai food. They were a great help with playing with this kids as I caught a bite to eat.
Since we were already in Santa Cruz, we also stopped by another friend's place for a nice, fun visit before we head on home. Here are some pictures of the kids. It was a great day, but a little bit exhausting for me as it's a lot of work caring for all three by myself.
Financial Planning
We just also started our financial planning for the kids and for future needs. I'm glad we are now finally getting around to doing this as I'd really would like to nail down on the kids college planning, emergency fund, life insurance and many other such financial planning. It's a little too late for me to get term life and or such additional life insurance, but at least we can plan for the kids and get started to set a side some funds for other future financial needs.
First Day of Class for Ellen
Ellen did terrific on both her first day of classes for her dance lessons and on her tiny tots preschool program. She's never attended class for anything before on her own and so being left alone in a class without her parents scared her. At first she was excited and thrilled to attend her class but as soon as her Dad left, she cried out for him to come get her. In the end, her teacher said she did terrific. When asked if she liked school and her dance lesson, she said she really enjoyed it and is excited to come back for more.
When all went to take Ellen to her dance class, Emma also participated in the class. She wants to do everything her older sister is doing. It was nice that the instructor allowed her to join. So here is video of Emma taking part in the class. She did great for a 1 year old in a class for 3 year olds.
Still Waiting for Tarceva
Well, it's already Monday and I'm still awaiting approval for Tarceva. Without treatment, I'm back to feeling really awful, weak and feeling the cancer's debilitating destructiveness. I'm hoping to hear back from the pharmacy soon so that I can begin this treatment regimen. It's supposedly a miracle drug that has wonders for many similar Lung cancer patients. Its done great wonders for this Bay Area Asian, Non smoker Opera singer who were diagnosed with the same stage 4 NSC Lung Cancer as me. She's truly a miracle survivor and fighter. The Tarceva did amazing wonders to shrink her tumors when she too was given a dire 6 months prognosis to live. Read her story and view her video at http://www.lungcancerfoundation.org/2010/12/15/zheng-cao-featured-on-great-america/.
Hopefully, this Tarceva drug will do the same healing powers to shrink the tumors on me! Let's pray it will!
