Boy are we having a full summer!!!

We have done Vacation Bible School. I volunteered to teach a class, which was a blast as usual, so Eli got to be in his "own" classroom as well and he had so much fun. By Friday he was really tired, but having a good time. We are also doing Swim Team for the older boys this summer, so lots and lots of time at the pool. Both boys have improved dramatically in swimming over the course of the past two months, so I am really glad we pushed them to do it.

We went to Atlanta to visit the Valdes family and then brought Cher and the kids back here for the past week. WHEW!! Five kids is WAY different than three....but we all had a blast. WE went to the water park, the beach, and the Atlanta Zoo.

It has been such a full summer so far, I am starting to wonder if it is too full, but then I think about the fact that Eli and I really did nothing last summer and he and I both deserve it@@

We went to clinic last week for his LP and Chemo and all went well. His five day steroid pulse was a little hard, the prednisone definitely has a harsher affect than the Dex for us, but we will take a little bit at a time each month and smile. Eli's counts were still good with an ANC of 2100. The clinic was closed yesterday and today, so we actually got to skip a month....imagine that?!

Thanks for checking in....I will post pictures soon.

I am thankful for this great summer that we are having...
