Random thoughts...!

We have not posted for awhile and thought it was time for a new update. Here are a few things we have right now:

• Brian went to the doctor today to find out the results of his latest x-rays, and blood work. Results: everything looks great from those tests! So, we earn ourselves 4 more weeks of freedom and normal life. A pet scan  has been scheduled for mid-October where they will look at the strange spots by his heart and lungs and see if they are still there, what they are doing, and what tests need to be done from there. It is hard not to live every day scared to death over what the next round of results will say, but we have learned to CHOOSE to live normal life, for ourselves and our children.(not easy..)
• Brian is still in "recovery"! Doing well, but tiring quickly. It drives him crazy to not be "normal" yet. He has had the joy of dealing with several of the later side effects of chemotherapy that are not fun, but it's the price of him going through chemo.We(me and the kids) are just glad he's HERE (emotionally and physically)!
• We are busy getting ready for a little baby boy to come to our family in November.  No, we do not have a name for him.... any suggestions?!?
• We have made/are making some minor changes in some of the things we do around here. Some of you may have noticed one- we have decided that just because the phone rings, does not mean we have to pick it up! I have learned that I waste too much time on the phone when my children need me. So, if you need to talk, leave a message! Also, we will rarely pick up the phone after 9 pm. We are both tired and like to spend somewhat uninterrupted time with each other at night.
• Thank you for the continued support and prayers from wonderful family and neighbors. We feel blessed to have you in our lives!
