Hope everyone had a great New Year's eve - and is enjoying this beautiful new years day! We had a lovely dinner at the Keg (our daughter enjoyed both her chicken fingers and my filet mignon - much to her father's delight!).
We had made a quick drop in at a family friends New Year's party - and were home for just after 8pm to put our doodlebug to bed. Someone must have told her it was New Year's though - as she woke us up just before 10 for a 40 minute cry - very unlike her - she would calm down if the tv was on - so I don't know if something was bothering her and tv manged to distract her - or if she was just that insistent on watching tv! She eventually tired herself out - and fell back asleep.
Stefan and I enjoyed a bit of champagne (small taste for Stefan as he's not supposed to drink due to the risk of seizures) - and made our bucket list (for those who don't know what a bucket list is - a list of all the things you want to do before you die). Perhaps a bit morbid - but you start to think of things like this after a serious health experience. Mine was twice as long as Stefans - I'm not going to share them here - but can tell you one mutual item - we both want to do a half marathon. We will be looking into some cancer runs - these obviously have new meaning to us now. The Coquitlam Principals and Vice Principals Association (CPVPA) put on a cancer run in the spring - we'll participate in that again. There is also a Brain Tumour Foundation run in the spring (last year's was around Burnaby Lake). The half marathon is probably a bit away for us - but we will look into some shorter runs/walks in the mean-time.
We are going to enjoy this beautiful New Year's Day - hope you all do too!

Have no fear "Brain Tumor Man" is here - with his positive attitude and great sense of humour, (although could do without the spandex suit)he is quick to recover and cause smiling faces wherever he goes. You really are a superhero!! Never forget that!!
