Okay here's the first... My Daddy. He is going in for a small surgery today so your prayers would be greatly appreciated. The recovery time will be 2 weeks. Dad has been quite sick lately and been home most of the month. Last Thursday night he spent most of the night in ER due to another seizure (think they have determined that his seizure med was too low). Dad never complains! If you ask him how he is his answer is always "good", so when most hear he is sick, they had no idea!
And mom, well she has had a lingering cold to put it mildly, maybe she is fighting off the flu- who knows. What can I say, these 2 are troopers!!
A house, we have been looking all over Gaithersburg, Germantown, Damascus, Clarksburg and Montgomery Village for a home that would accommodate both fams at the right price. We have found one that seems like it would work well but doesn't really have much of a yard for the kids. We're still looking. We go to settlement for the sale of our home on Dec 20th and then the plan is to rent back until Jan 30th. It is kinda crazy thinking that it is only about 7 weeks away yet we know the Lord will provide for us and we are looking forward to seeing what he has in store.
Cameron & Brandon are gearing up for FINALS. C just recently got accepted into Maryland's Engineering program and will start there or at UMBC in the spring semester. B still has another year of community college.
Lastly I wanted to share some great pics of our time at Children's Hospital. Our field trip group went to Children's a few weeks ago and it was wonderful!! The kids got to see the new helicopter "Bear 1". This was so great! They also got to ride in the special elevators, chat with some of Mikes nurses (Megan & Pup), climb or should I say cram into an ambulance and our kiddos brought gifts for Doctor Bears Toy Closet for the children at the hospital. It was wonderful to be there. Children's has been such a special place to us and to have our friends there with us was such a joy! Moms, thanks for making that looong drive. Afterwards Katie took us on a tour of the new wing, which is gorgeous and amazing- its so Big! Private rooms are going to be wonderful for those families. The trip wouldn't be complete without a stop at Teddy's coffee shop (a friend of Mo & Wandi -these men started the Sovereign Grace church in Ethiopia). Teddy, like so many prays for our fam often. He dotes a pic of him and Micah at the stand.
Katie, thanks for making our field trip happen. We all really enjoyed it!
