Family!


 My sweet boys watching cartoons...snuggling together!
*****
 This is a card my boys made for my sister-in-law. 

 This sweet pink rose was our centerpiece for our first weekly dinner.  :)  I have started hosting a weekly dinner at my house for my brother's family and my parents.  It has been so much fun...full of laughs, long talks, silly cousins, and a few tears. My sister-in-law has Stage 3 Breast Cancer.  She has amazing faith and courage facing this battle.  This is her third time to fight cancer (she had brain tumors before)...her first time she was just a child.  It is her second bout with chemotherapy, and it is her third time to be bald. :)  And boy does she wear it well!  Melissa is so strong and my brother is so supportive.  They make a great team, and I am in amazed by them each day.  Please pray that our sweet Jesus will heal her forever this time.  The third time is a charm, right?   (so you will be seeing more pictures to come of our Saturday night dinners:)
 This is Langston's puppy that sings "If You Are Happy and You Know It".  My brother's older boys found it very entertaining, and my boys loved it!

 Trevor is such a good sport.  Langston follows him around and says, "Hey, Trevor".  Over and over.


 Emerson joined in on being silly.  I think he looks a lot like me when he makes funny faces...I guess I shouldn't admit that! :)



 This boy LOVES his PawPaw.  We always joke and say it is their food allergy connection since my dad has life-threatening food allergies, too.  Ha.


 This boy prefers his Mimi.


 "Hey, Trevor!"

I picked up a few hats for Melissa.  She is getting plenty of use out of them now...

Until next time...

Thanks, Bonnie! It's a lot of work, but well worth it. :)
