Look at all that peach-fuzzy goodness! And her eyebrows and eyelashes are coming in too!
There is not much new to report around here. I have been back at work for two weeks now and life is continuing on. Meghan is working hard in physical therapy and hoping to be ready to play volleyball in January. Overall she is feeling pretty good. She still tires out more easily and this is a challenge for her because she wants so badly to be totally "back to normal" and tends to overdue it a little. All the kids are doing great in school and enjoying it. Rileigh and Aidan just finished up the fall soccer season with their last games on Saturday.
Aidan especially enjoyed the fact that his best bud, Noah, played on the same team with him. And other than one small mishap...
... the season was great. (This is the day after Aidan fell off of the bleachers after practice. He was covered in mud and blood and cried the whole way home. After a shower and some tenderlovin' care, he was fine. Daddy convinced him that he looked cool "like Batman after he fights the bad guys and gets all scraped up.") We are very thankful because it could have been much worse - he fell off the top bleacher (6 ft. maybe) and landed on his head so these minor scrapes and bruises are not bad!

I know I have not been very good about updating here regularly (not much to update!) but I really appreciate all of you who continue to check in with us and continue to pray for our family. Your support, encouragement, and prayers have been a blessing beyond compare this last year and we are so very thankful for all of you! Meghan will be back in clinic in November, back to the surgeon in December, and next round of scans in December/January. Please pray that the scans continue to be clear and that her body remains free of cancer. More importantly, please pray for all of us to continue to put our hope and trust in the Lord and cherish each day that He blesses us with!
God Leads His Dear Children Along
In shady, green pastures, so rich and so sweet, God leads His dear children along;
Where the water's cool flow bathes the weary one's feet, God leads His dear children along.
Some through the waters, some through the flood, some through the fire, but all through the blood.
Some through great sorrow, but God gives a song, in the night season and all the day long.
Sometimes on the mount where the sun shines so bright, God leads His dear children along;
Sometimes in the valley, in darkest of night, God leads His dear children along.
Though sorrow befall us and evils oppose, God leads His dear children along;
Through grace we can conquer, defeat all our foes, God leads His dear children along.
Some through the waters, some through the flood, some through the fire, but all through the blood.
We can testify to the truth of these beautiful words.
May the Lord find us faithful in the continuing journey!
