Great Weekend.

We returned safely from Lake Whitney and our traditional 4th of July family reunion. Great turn out. I am not for sure on numbers, but about 70. The kids had a great time. We now have two accomplished skiers. Austin and Abby both have taken off. It is so fun to watch them progress each time. Landon was quite successful himself as he won the hold 'em tournament. Don't think he got the card playing skills from me. He prefers the indoors to the sun, Can't say that I blame him with temperatures the way they were. Mark enjoyed some r and r indoors himself. The heat was a little much. He did go out on Sunday and watch the kids ski. I think he had thoughts of skiing himself, but never quite got to that point.

Treatment # 10 starts Wednesday. We are a little anxious about these final treatments and what new things he might have to face. We shouldn't even try to anticipate, because we know that it is out of our hands. One day at a time.

We missed Amber at the lake. Hope you enjoyed a little one on one time with new baby Abigail. Will and Anna we look forward to the next time you guys can make it for the reunion. And Helen, so many thoughts and prayers were lifted up for you this weekend. We know you would have traded places in a heartbeat. We will pray for God's healing as you near your surgery time that brings you one step closer to overcoming this battle.

Much love to all, Missy.

The lake is especially enjoyable if there is a nice cabin to stay in that you can look out the window and see the kids in the water. I am too old to play in the water anymore...behind a boat especially....might get hurt. haha I know your next steps are so full of the unknown. But be assured that God knows the plans he has for you and they are good. I love you guys and girls and am missing you.
