There are so many things that make me chuckle. This is the latest.
OK. So the video is too large to upload. I'll have to describe to you what I saw. Lyndsey had set up the tripod, pretending it had a camera on it. She had Ethan climb into the chair, sitting facing her. She kept running up to him to tickle him or make noises at him and then ran back to the "camera" to snap the picture (just like the professional photography places). She kept telling him to say "cheese", and he was cooperatively "cheese"ing away, which is really funny when he says it. He draws it out and really emphasizes the "eeee", showing all his little teeth. Wish you could have seen it; it sure made me laugh!

Another new accomplishment
I hopped on Raskin from the sliding glass door out to the table on the deck, and back! I haven't hopped on that leg since the beginning of my pregnancy! It wasn't pretty, but I managed to hop on Anderson's sandal (partly on the foot) without losing my balance, enabling me to not get my stocking feet wet on the rain-covered deck. Woohoo! Mom witnessed it! 8)
CAT scan
Another clean CAT scan...yay!
Bob and I had taken golf lessons together (over a month ago). For weeks after, I had this huge pain in the center of my back. At first, I thought that it was from swinging the golf club, but then it seemed to linger too long. I started to feel fearful that it was cancer in my lungs (a likely place for it to metastasize). It felt a lot like the pulmonary embuli did. I had to just keep praying that God would help me to not worry and remember that it's in His hands. I thought about calling the dr. but knew I had a CAT scan coming up; then it went away. Another day in the life of a cancer survivor, but it's different when you have a relationship with God. I can't imagine dealing with that fear without God.
Bob and I went fly fishing last Sat. It was a good day. We ended up having some really hard, but necessary, conversations. The year of cancer is still really affecting us, even though it has turned out as we had hoped. A year of stress, illness, coping, has longer lasting effects than I had realized. God is helping us through it though. The day was beautiful - a perfect sunny, fall day. The sound of the water was calming, and the fish did bite. (better for Bob than me!) I thank God for that day - for the extended time with Bob, for the friends who cared for our kids, for being out in nature, for health to walk in the water and stand for hours, for taste buds to taste the yummy food, for hair to poof out from under the ball cap I had to wear to keep the sun out of my eyes, for a hubby who was willing to patiently stand by while I had my casting lesson. Thank You, Lord.
