Working our way through February with plenty of hard and so much joy.
February 20
The kids were off for President's Day off...Aiden enjoyed a leisurely day and it was out first time on the porch this season! :)
February 21
And then the next day it snowed, just enough to be beautiful.
Avery still babysits quite a bit, even at 7 am on her day off of school!
And then she and Jack, all their own idea, very sweetly took Aiden to see a movie he was excited about.

The first time I wore sweatpants to a treatment a month or two ago, I felt like I was giving up a little ground. But Shaun assured me I should rock them without apology. So I do.

No picture. Just trying to get through the hours with my chemo pump on.

Sometimes Shaun puts on the Hallmark channel for me in case I'm feeling up to watching something. During the day, it is reruns of shows that were a big part of my childhood, such as Little House on the Prairie and The Waltons. This commercial is just about supporting co-workers/employees who have cancer, sponsored by MSK.

Katie sent me a photo of the group at our TBQ meet. Its hard to miss it but it brightened my day to see these faces...they work hard studying and are so brave to buzz in. So proud of them!

Amanda has spent the last couple months going through a junior membership class and as part of that the thought of baptism came up. Through discussions with some caring, trusted leaders, she decided this was the time for her. I'm amazed at and grateful for the people placed in her life who have loved and her and supported her, from the nursery workers to now her youth leaders and the very crucial people in between. She is genuinely loved and seen and invested in, week after week.
It was very special and I'm so glad I got to be there. (You can see it here, start at 30:30) In the words of a song we sang that morning in service:
All my words fall shortI got nothing newHow could I expressAll my gratitude?
So I throw up my handsAnd praise You again and again'Cause all that I have is a hallelujahAnd I know it's not muchBut I've nothing else fit for a KingExcept for a heart singing hallelujah
To add to the beauty of the day, Nathanael and Jack got baptized. They all shared heartfelt personal testimonies, and the youth pastor was there with them.
