While Amanda and Chad had a date night out to dinner and to Handel's Messiah at the Kauffman Center, we were the lucky ones - Peyton and Garrison spent a little over 24 hours in Clinton with us, and we made the most of it. We had a cookie decorating contest - decorated gingerbread houses - played games - went out for Dairy Queen and to see the lights - picnic in the living room - visit to Miss Esther - attended church - and lots of just good old fashioned fun.
We attended Peyton's first band concert - she did a great job playing her Mom's clarinet - they played quite well - we picked them up at school that day and took them out to Freddy's to eat dinner beforehand.
I had a little cancer scare with a cyst on my toe, but after x-rays, a MRI and a nuclear bone scan, it was determined I remain cancer free. Praise God. I had a CT on my chest too which was fine. Pain shots in my back have helped - MRI on my back too.
Mark has been joining us for lunch on Sundays and the Chiefs when they play at noon. We are enjoying getting to spend more time with him.
God is good, and we are blessed.
