Jake heads to Orlando for Bips...

Jake & Mom head to Orlando to be with the family.
(Poor Daddy had to work)
We rented a 'Family House' in Orlando to be near
the Global Robotics Institute @ the Florida Hospital.
Bips had surgery to remove his prostate cancer.
Addy, Lily & Jake were our
secret weapons to cheer up Bips.
It was a great big house w/ 5 bedrooms & 3.5 baths.
The kids loved the pool along w/ the ping-pong & air hockey.
Most importantly we just all loved being together.
With us all there, Bips got better each & every day.
We LOVE our BIPS!

with a great big balcony overlooking
Seminole Lake, Sunrise Bay & the Atlantic Ocean
I'm not sure who is more excited,
Jake, Grandma or Daddy.
