Monday

Not much to report on the Hans front. We just had our quiet weekend with a low ANC...so, we did take advantage of the weekend at home to get crackin' on some more house projects. We all sort of feel like we're 4 years behind around here!

Hans is doing super - just sort of on Cruise Control (right Ashton?)...He does complain of mouth sores a little, and of phantom leg pains...oh, but we'll take it!

I have to give a shout out to our babysitter Katie - who took orders for 18 lanyards from her education major classmates at Sam Houston State. Also have to thank a group of my beading girlfriends who spent Friday here beading with us to get the order filled. Awesome! AND we got a nice visit from Kevin's cousin Jessa who is here in Texas at College - she's a few hours away in Waco, but we were happy to finally get to see her! Elle was able to pack it all in with a b'day party (pictured above with her pal Kelly) and a soccer game. After the game, Elle and Kelly sure made me smile when they told me they get sad at the end of the game b/c they love the action and don't want it to end!

I have a very special request. Our dear friend Patrick just got news of new progression after giving the Seneca Valley oncolytic virus trial a shot. His sweet little family just hopped on a plane to Lourdes, France in search of a healing miracle. Please send this family some special love, prayers, and thoughts this week!
