Proud big brother

 Oliver is going to be a big brother. He says he’s hoping for a baby sister but whatever I know he will be proud! He went to a siblings class at the hospital and my daughter says he’s been practicing diapering Cashew his stuffed animal!

I’m excited to be having another grand baby this summer. Family is the best treasure!

Feeling Blessed

 If you’ve read my blogs for awhile you know about 2 and a half years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The first visit was especially scary finding out that I had a serious disease and needed to begin treatment as soon as possible.

I have been surrounded by so many caring people and no words could express how grateful I am for all the kindness that’s been showered on me. 

The cancer center has sponsored some really fun events for us  patients too. Tuesday morning our local water color artist taught us about how to paint with water colors. We had some fun, laughter and creativity. I’ve made some new friends.

Today I had a doctor appointment with my oncologist.

He was happy to tell me my lab work was good my ca125 cancer antigen was normal and my ct scan showed no evidence of disease. All is well!

After the consultation he sat down and held our hands and prayed with us, this time a prayer of thanksgiving. He thanked God that the treatments worked well and for healing. He also expressed thanks for this Easter season and celebrating our risen Savior. I have been so blessed with a caring physician who seeks God for wisdom!

I feel so blessed! My cup overflows!

Traveling Along

 

We had to leave to make our way back home. Sweet little Oliver has a close attachment to his older cousin Emma. He follows her around everywhere.

Here the three younger girls are all dolled up for a dance.

It’s crazy how fast they’ve grown up especially when I don’t get to see them as often as I’d like to. 

We enjoyed another hike at Bonnet Park before we went home

We also enjoyed a stop at Mirror lake and Ollie enjoyed the playground.

We had quite the family gatherings this time around. Terry also had lots of company so we hope next time around we can get together again. 

Hope everyone had a spectacular time!

Such fun adventures now it’s time to be home in Indiana and see what life holds for us there. The weather is warming up and the flowers are blooming soon. It’s my favorite season at home

Part way home

 I’m tired to write so I’ll just post a few pics

This is the beautiful beach we were able to enjoy, mostly it’s great because we’ve had awesome family time there.

We said bye to the beach and high rise condo this am. 

Now we are visiting our son and his family in Florida. Oliver is so excited to be at his cousins. 

We got out and had a little fun two of the girls had a dance to attend tonight though. 

Family is the best blessing!

I have more to share once I get settled back to my home routine. Goodnight and God bless you!
