Rolling along



School starts soon and the boys (and Kathy) are more than ready. Before we called the end to summer, we had a really nice camping trip up to the mountains. A little wet and cool for a day, but in the end things were good. Friends, brothers, sisters. Days and nights on the mountain. Fishing, swimming, shooting, bike riding, a nice 7 mile run at 5200 ft.

Chemo has been tough the last few times, and Kathy's mom is not doing well. Kathye will take a trip back to be with her soon, and I will start travelling to Rhode Island soon. So we are still in a crucible, but there are blessings regardless.

Well guys, this is a recent pic of my youngest, Ian, currently surviving Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, Survivor of a serious relapse. Lover of baseball, of camp Okizu, of a purple dragon flyz, a true boy, a boy of faith, a boy willing to give when he feels led.




Looks pretty good for a kid on chemo, doesn't he?


Yes, we are still dealing with it every day, every week, but man, it seems good at the moment. And we are thankful for every moment. His standardized test scores at school are now up to, or above grade level now, and I am just thankful. Praise God.



Friends, Family, Neighbors. Thank You. May the peace that passes all understanding guide your heart and minds in our Jesus.
