WHAT A GIFT!



Harvey just got a call from the oncology office and his most recent PET Scan is CLEAN! We are all tickled pink and couldn't have asked for a better Christmas gift! Our weather is predicted to be nasty/icy/snowy by morning when he was supposed to have had his appointment so they called and told him the results and said he really didn't need to reschedule the appointment for tomorrow unless he felt a real need to talk to the doctor! He's on his way down there before this storm hits to have labs drawn an they'll let us know the results next week. Those should show marked improvement from last time and he is good to go for the next three months! We sure have a lot to be thankful for this year - this was the perfect present under our tree! (by the way, our tree is not up yet, but will be by tomorrow!)

Growing Up!

We just got the most current school pictures from the four older grandkids and just had to show them off! Where does time go and how can they grow up so fast. 
   
    
Here's the stats: Shea will be 14 in March and is in the 8th grade; Cody is 10 and in the 5th grade (Shea & Cody are Corky & Greg's kids and live in Houston); McKinley is 9, almost 10, and in the 4th grade; Andy is 8, almost 9, and in the 3rd grade (McKinley & Andy live in Decorah with their folks Nicki & Paul); and Lani (Helana - Brad's baby) is 19 months already but since she isn't in school yet, we don't have school pictures from Las Vegas - that time will get here long before any of us are ready for it! They will all be here between Christmas and New Years so am sure there will be a LOT of picture taking and Becky will surely share them with you. The smells from the kitchen tell me Becky is busy baking Christmas goodies and heard her tell Harvey he was going to have to carry the decorations up from the basement this weekend. Snow, cold, goodies baking and decorations going up - Christmas will be here shortly!
