Bike rider

This is my girl who can ride a two wheeled bike! She mastered the bike March 22nd, the day before my dad's birthday. And she tells us, "it's so easy."

Birthday!

Lars is 3 now! Blowing out the candles.^
Everyone sang happy birthday to Lars, including Lars. :)
He even got some birthday wishes by phone, in this picture he was talking to cousin Harrison!

Gardening

I really enjoy working in the garden but sometimes the weeds really get ahead of me. So this fine lady came to help me with my celery patch. I do hope her work there will encourage the celery to grow because it sure has been slow going!

Sunday afternoon





The past two Sunday afternoons Derek has been called to come pull someone out of a mud hole somewhere. I somehow lost the pictures form the first time. :(
This week the girls had been playing dress up when Derek was called and Heidi was wearing a tutu. We all just jumped in the truck with whatever we were wearing on. I was still in my skirt form church and Derek had shed his dress shirt so he was wearing his "wife beater shirt" and Heidi still in her tutu. Oh what fun!

Update

So, it's been a really long time since I felt like putting any effort into anything....
But because I know you care about us/me way more than I deserve or comprehend here's the news. :)
I am feeling really great these days!!!! My week of isolation went well. I was well cared for by our church family here and I had plenty to do to while away the time with packets of things to do for each day from Abbi and family and plus my host family loaned DVDs to me and the weather was such that I could get out and walk too.
The kids did really well here with their grandma taking care of them. They had tea party's and got to have a picnic even on a rainy day, in the garage.
We were also blessed to get to have Derek back sooner than we thought we would!
I had a scan this past week and all is well, there is no other cancer and the treatment did what it was supposed to do!
So, in short, God has blessed us in big ways every day. Thank you so much for your prayers!
Love to all, MJ
