Labor Day and Time at Home

We just finished a week at home. It was wonderful. We got to be together as a family and do lots of fun things. Jeff came for a visit on Friday - picnic in park, visiting and BBQ. We joined our friends the Roths and Marquardts for a day of camping on Saturday. Lots of fun, swimming and hiking. Our friends Ryan and Lauren came for a visit Sunday and Monday. We had a great time. Tuesday was the first day a school for Elijah, Wednesday Noah met his teacher and we had a Family dinner with my family then ended the night with a campfire and s'mores. Mark and I came back to Seattle yesterday (Thursday). Today we had a full day of appointments and work. Now for a restful weekend before a BUSY next week.

Continue to pray for our family. For the boys as they adjust again to us being gone and for the new schedule of school and Grandma and Grandpa. Pray for Mark as he heads into a busy week of appointments and procedures to prep for transplant which ends with very intense Radiation followed with heavy Chemo at the start of the following week. He is feeling strong and ready but it is a big hurdle that we will both be glad to be over.

Enjoy the pictures from this last week:
