We spent June and July savoring precious moments like this. . .
Nannie went home to be with Jesus on July 12 and we were blessed to be with her in her final days here on earth and then celebrate her life with a beautiful memorial service.
Then Mollie, Crosby, and Carter came for "bacation" in Papa's "grambilla"
The grands got to have their first Build A Bear experience where Marge,
Pinkie,
Bubbles,
And Daddy-Tractor/Puppy were created.
Grammie has spent lots of time with us as my treatments have gone on (and on and on and on) We are so thankful for her loving, caring, servant heart. We couldn't do it without her!
We've tried to get outside as much as possible and enjoy the sunshine,
We've spent a lot of time perfecting our tractor driving
And spent an afternoon at the Carver County Fair learning about "treats"
and llamas. . . (if anyone can tell me why there were llamas at the county fair I would appreciate it!)
We experienced our first big bonk,
And have spent lots of time loving on this guy as he learns a new normal to his life. We like to visit him on Friday afternoons and you can bet that we rarely show up without a treat!
Can you believe that next week is the beginning of September? We can't!! Our summer has been crazy. So different than we expected but that's the way life goes. It has taught us to rely even more on God and trust his timing for our lives.
We are trusting God with my scan next week. We refuse to let Satan use fear as a weapon in the coming days. We trust God too much to let Satan rob us of our security.
To be honest, I am craving a normal life.
A break.
A period of time without treatment.
and side effects.
and doctor visits.
and fatigue.
Would you join us in praying that we would have scan results that warrant no more chemo? All the while trusting that God knows best and if Dr. Bloom says more chemo, we will walk into it with a happy heart because "We hold unswervingly to the hope we profess because he who promised is faithful" (Hebrews 10:23).
