SILLY MOMENTS

Amy was trying to distract the baby on Wednesday. It was still quite some time till his next bottle. But he was getting fussy, sitting in his bouncey chair.

Amy turned on some music. It was "Break Out", by Swing Out Sister, a band that described its music as "sophistipop", because... well, we're still trying to figure that out.

Anyway, she's doing some remarkably 80's dance moves that fit the song. Alex starts twirling like a ballerina in her Easter dress (which she will almost certainly want to wear past Labor Day). And I bust in with Da Butt, made popular by one-hit-wonder band, E.U. I mean, we had to have looked like the reject line for The Gong Show.

But it worked. A.J. stopped crying and just stared at us, probably dazzled by our dancing talents. And we all had a great time.

Nearly 24 hours before, I learned I am lymphoma free. My doctor told me the scan showed no signs of cancer. And I think a silly moment with my family was the perfect way to celebrate. It's moments like these I want to be a part of for a long time.
