Truly Blessed Today

Getting to have Thanksgiving with my parents at my in laws house was such a treat! They are great friends! It makes it so nice! Having my Dad here is a gift. Every day is a gift! He is so ill and stricken with cancer. Yet, in these photos today, he looks fabulous! He starts chemo Monday. Please pray for my parents as they endure a second round of this.

Thrilled beyond words that I have these pictures from today!

Here we are again!

The grands with their grandkids!

I love that Mady loves on my Dad so much. It is just like she knows that it is super important!

Happy Thanksgiving

So Ready

We are so ready for a Thanksgiving break! MK has a Thanksgiving program at her school! I am really looking forward to that! We have been taking lots of pictures of the girls to decide which one we are using for our Christmas card. I thought these were so sweet! Working on finishing up Christmas shopping. Hope you all had a great weekend!

Finally

Finally my parents got to come home today. My Dad has been so sick. He is fighting the infection well. Unfortunately the cancer has come back in more areas of his bones. I am so proud to have him for a Dad. He is such a fighter. It is just so difficult watching your parent go through this and suffer the way that he has. My mother is a saint. She never left his side! They are quite a pair! So this Thanksgiving means more to me than most! I am soooo Thankful to have my parents home. I know my Dad isn't out of the woods, but he is here and I can talk to him. My Mady can say "PAWPAW!" This helps encourage him. Those words tickle him. And Mary-Kate says, "PawPaw, you are my best buddy. Don't forget it now."

Here are some pictures I wanted to share with you!

way behind

I am way behind on commenting on blog posts. Maybe I can catch up this weekend! My dad has been in the local hospital for a week. He was released and is still very sick. Now he is in St. Vincent's. He had a procedure today that drained the abscess and hematoma that he has in his stomach. He is feeling a lot better already. It has been really rough.
