They're coming!


Tonight's picture is Gracie hanging from a huge vine in Gatlinburg. Grace has no fear and misses nothing! I can hardly wait to see her and they're coming tomorrow night!

Trish and some of the kids are coming to join us for a few days. Nate will stay home and work. Ryan is staying with friends and Sadie is going to Tulsa with her cousin for the week. Trish is bringing the others, as well as Garrett, so we'll have fun even though we'll miss the ones who can't come. I made two chocolate chip pies, two quiches, and a batch of chex mix, so we're ready!

We'll be celebrating Raynie's birthday since this is her birthday month. She turned 3 on the 10th of this month. That was the same day I had my biopsy in Houston 3 years ago. We knew I had breast cancer before that; I had already had treatment in Tijuana, but this was when we identified exactly what kind I had and determined what treatments to follow. A lot has happened in these 3 years! Raynie was the only one of Tricia's kids to arrive without Don and I there (She has all her kids at home with a midwife, and we hated to miss this event, but Raynie couldn't wait on us to get home.) She had grown from a toddler to a little girl and she is such a joy. She had her own issues and had to have surgery for a cleft palate and tubes in her ears, but she has done fine with all of it. Together we've healed and we thank God for taking care of us.
