Giving Thanks

So, Thanksgiving is right around the corner -already! I realize that my posts are getting shorter and shorter and fewer and fewer..... Its not that I don't have anything to say. I simply find it so hard to find time to say it!

Grant finished a chemo week round of steroids yesterday. We are always so grateful to be finished with steroids. We started a new cycle this past Tuesday with a spinal tap and IT Methotrexate. We were happy to be able to visit with Jane and to see William and his family for a few moments as we were leaving. William was in for a round of scans to monitor his remission from Neuroblastoma. Evidently, everything was not exactly at it should be, so he is in again today for an MRI. We are praying for clean scans today!

To catch everyone up, our life in synopsis.....

Soccer is over.
Basketball has begun.
Christmas recital rehearsals are in full swing.
I have to write to Christmas program for church!
My mom is now a skinny person!
I wish both of my brothers lived closer to home...
Leah, too! (3 hours is still too far away)
My once beautiful landscaping needs some "welcome to Fall" assistance.
My house needs a good cleaning...
My Bishop/husband is working really hard - at work and at church!
I need a haircut and will soon need color as Aly keeps finding grey hairs intermingled with the auburn ones! Really - I'm still 33 -what's up with that?
Eden lost her last tooth, and continues to know just the thing to do to get on my last nerve!
She's almost as tall as me.
I noticed yesterday as we left for church that she looked like she was going to the prom.
She's beautiful!
Jacob is the life of the party - and enjoys throwing one every afternoon in my yard!
Grant could build a fully functioning space station with Legos...and would like to do so either in the middle of the living room or on the dining room table.
Its not easy to keep Jacob away from Grant's Lego creations, btw...
My life is so busy... but I am so blessed!
I love my husband.
I love my kids.
I love my job - the poeple I work with, the parents, and especially all of the sweet kids that I teach!
I love my Ma & Pa!
I love my sisters and their husbands.
I love my brothers and their wives.
I love all of my exceptionally beautiful and talented nieces and nephews!
I love my massive extended family and am so grateful to live out my daily life with them.
I love all of my good friends..especially Ashley, who is really more like my sister!
I love my life - its hard, it tiring, its amazingly wonderful!

8:23 pm Update.... William is all good! Scans came back clean today!
