Nancy's Birthday

Here's me with my flower's and balloons that Spencer sent to me. Are'nt they great !! My friend Sarah took me out to lunch and we had a good visit. We had her son David with us. It's hard not to have Spencer here on special days but I do have good friends that keep me going.

Nancy's B-day Lunch

Vanessa on the first day of second grade. She is excited to be back with her friends from school.

This is Josh on the first day of third grade. He is excited because he will get to use the computer more.

Nancy looking alittle lighter. It's been 3 months since my gastic bypass surgury and I'm down 55 pounds. I feel pretty good but sometimes trying new foods is frusterating because they don't always agree with me.

This is the kids having lunch at the zoo. Vanessa, Josh, Thomas, and David. Chicken fingers and corn dogs yum yum!

At the Zoo

Fun at Great America

I guess I'm skippiing back this was from June when we were in California. We took the kids to a amusement park called Great America and they had a lot of fun.

Robert C. Schader

I was trying to find a picture of my Dad , Robert C. Schader so here's what I found. On May 28, 08 my Mom called and told me that my Dad had had two massive heart attacks. He was in the hospital in ICU and stable for the time. She said they wanted to put a pacemaker in but that right now he wasn't strong enough for that surgery but he probably would be in a couple of days. I called my sister Linda and talked with her. My Dad was 86 and Diabetic and on oxygen so we felt we had to go see him. I got on a plane on may 31 and met my sister at the San Jose, Ca , airport. We went to the hospital and visted with my Dad we talked and joked. My Dad had a great since of humor. He had many IV's and monitors hooked up to him. We'd ask him how he was and he would say lousey. We asked him if we could get him anything and he said a glass of Champange. We told him it wasn't on the menu. He said he didn't think it would be. My Dad passed away on Tuesday June 3,08. It's hard to express the words of how great he was and how much he will be missed. I love you, Dad!

Vanessa's B-day
