Every Saturday morning, Jeff makes pancakes.
He is really gotten very good at it.
He makes pancakes to celebrate holidays.
He makes pancakes to help bring in the of change seasons.
He makes pancakes special for each child, especially Hayden.
And he even has done a how-to post for all my lovely readers.
But today, the pancakes took on a different meaning.
Our pancakes today were made in honor of Jeff's Mom.
You see earlier in the week, Grandma B found out the she has a tumor on and around her liver and bile ducts. And while we don't have the official results, all signs point the fact that she has cancer.
It is amazing how in a phone call, in a moment, life can change.
So what kind of pancake did Jeff make to honor his Mom and this new challenge?

Well, Liver Pancakes of course.
With a side of Gall Bladder.

We LOVE you Grandma B.
We are here for you no matter what.
Cheering you on, holding your puke bucket and supporting you all the way.
No matter what happens!

Wait... those are just liver-shaped pancakes, right? They're not made with actual liver?
Whew. Glad we cleared that up! ;)
Now, on a more serious note... will be saying a prayer for Jeff's mom. And for you guys, too.
so sweet in a twisted sort of way.
hugs to all of you.
I like how you have the Anatomy Coloring Book there for reference :o)
I'm always impressed with y'all's pancake shapes, but wow, umm, those look a little scary.
I'm so sorry to hear about Grandma B though. She's got a great family to support her though and she will kick that tumor's butt!
Sending love to grandma! Those pancakes look...well...hmmm....they look GREAT!
I can't believe those pancakes almost made me cry.
no comment on the pancakes, lol.
I've been praying for all of you since you first tweeted about your MIL. The prayers will continue...
TOO PRECIOUS! Hugs to your MIL!
I am so sorry to hear about her condition! I hope that the outcome is a positive one:-)
oh, those pancakes are um, tasty looking? And so sorry to hear about Jeff's mom...what a tough time for your whole family.
What a lovely post and a lovely approach to the vagaries of life. When life gives you lemons, make...liver pancakes?
I have to say...I don't think I would want to eat those particular pancakes. They look a little too "on the money" for my taste.
And yes...life does change in a moment ... I've been facing that for the past few weeks so my thoughts and prayers with your family. I hope Grandma gets through this well.
There is something wrong with that.......can't put my finger on it.........but something
Have a great day!
These pancakes made me tear up..
Woooow. I love it, but I hate that he was inspired. Does that make sense?
I hope for good news ahead!
And those pancakes..love the tribute, and teaching the kids a little anatomy too.
haha! ... ew! ... and, i'm so sorry :-/
I laughed at those pancakes - despite the circumstances. God Bless your mother in law!!! I'll keep her and your family on my prayer list!!
Prayers for a speedy recovery for your mother in law. I am a little grossed out by the pancakes but I can see the humor in them. Some days all you can do is laugh.
Ummmm, okay . . . Praying for all of you!
I will pray for her. So sad. And so clever of your husband. You guys are the coolest : )
You know that's not normal, right?
Sorry to hear about Jeff's mom. Hugs and prayers for you and your family.
And the pancakes. Um. Ew. Sweet, but ew.
Oh no! So sorry to hear about Jeff's mom! Sounds like you are going about this the absolutely perfect way...allowing humor to take the lead... believe me, it will help more than you know!
Saying prayers...
Haven't been over to see you for a little while, sorry to hear about Jeff's Mum.
I'm now very glad that I shared countless college dinner tables with friend who were studying anatomy - It has hardened me up a tad when it comes to liver pancakes! :)
Oh that is stunning Jen. Please be assured that we will keep her, and your and Jeff's family in our prayers.
I off course, tried Jeff's pancakes but mine did not turn out too great.

awww what a creative way to show support!! i hope that grandma's feeling ok...we'll keep her in our prayers!
The pancakes look very realistic in a pancake sort of way.
I hope grandma is strong and gets to feeling better soon!
I am so sorry about your MIL. I hope she will be ok.
I felt bad for laughing at the pancakes, but that's funny.
I feel kinda schizo now, because of it.
But seriously...praying for her.
The sentiment is wonderful, but I hope they tasted better than they looked :-)
Your family is in my prayers Jen.
I'm so sorry to hear about Jeff's mother....I hope whatever it does turn out to be will be something that can be treated!
The pancakes were a sweet sentiment!
