I can't believe I forgot the camera!

We are trying our hardest to have what we can of a "normal" life. It seems unpacking, party planning, news of cancer and dr's appointments have taken over much of our lives these past two weeks. So, today we loaded up after naptime and headed to Sea World! Half way there I realize that I forgot the camera.....I'm a terrible mother. However, I promise next time we go we'll take the camera! We got to see the dolphin show and Meg loved it--they jumped high and there were birds and people swinging in the air! Jacob held it together all the way around the park so we got to see the manatees, turtles, stingrays, dolphins, alligators and the sharks! She is so fearless and loves all God's creatures. She wanted to touch all the dangerous ones. "Do they bite?, Can I pet them?"

Jacob is doing well awaiting surgery--no apparent pain. My mom has had her blood test, met with the surgeon and is waiting to have an MRI before they decide what type of surgery she will have. Apparently the options currently are lumpectomy with radiation or mastectomy. Her spirits seem to be up now that she's had some time to process and prepare for some of what's ahead. So many friends and coworkers have stepped up to share their stories and walk with her during this time--my brother and I are forever grateful to you!

Jim is loving being back in the midst of our church family here at Westpoint and so am I. I was asked to help in an Administrative Assistant role and am so grateful to be able to work around my kids schedule and to be a help to something I so firmly believe in! I've also been able to jump back in with the praise band on Sunday mornings and love it! Music is such a huge part of my heart and I'm so grateful that God allows me to be a part of this.

Well, that's it for today. I promise new pictures soon. God bless!
