Hi everyone,
It's August already! I'm actually looking forward to the cooler weather and everything that comes with fall.
I'll start with the Big News. Diana and Peter had their baby this week! His name is Oliver Anthony and he was 8lbs 12oz.
I got to video chat with Diana and Adelaide this morning and she couldn't wait to show me her 'little baby brother.' Not just baby brother, oh no. Little baby brother. She is so excited to be a big sister! We fly out next week to see them. I can't wait!
I got home from work on Wednesday and Beth said she wanted breakfast burritos for dinner so I asked her if she would help. We have the tortillas, plus scrambled eggs, tater tots, and cheese. She carefully placed each tater tot on the pan, in perfect rows. I should have taken a picture of it. Her favorite thing though is to do the eggs. She loves cracking the eggs. And she's good at it too!
A prominent man in our city passed away two weeks ago and they're having the memorial at our church tomorrow. They're expecting more than 1000 people so I'm going in for a couple hours to help with last minute details. He died suddenly in an accident, and when they announced it during a Sunday service people gasped and one woman began to openly sob. His death has left a big hole in our city.
And for the News. Beth had a routine procedure a few weeks ago and they called to let us know there was 'an area' they were concerned about and needed her to come back for diagnostic testing. We had to go downtown which makes me nervous because I haven't driven in downtown Seattle in probably ten years. But I know the Lord was with me because traffic wasn't bad, we got down there about 30 minutes before the appointment and the parking garage was open with plenty of parking. (It wasn't open when Chuck and I went down on Saturday so I could see exactly how to get there.)
She had the test done and we were told to stay there to wait for the results. The doctor came out and said they think the spots are benign but because this was her first time getting the procedure they don't have a baseline to compare them with so they'll just monitor them for now. They want to see her again in January.
As we walked to the car I began thinking about how they would have probably done a biopsy if it looked more serious so I'm taking this as good news.
Other than that it's been a quiet week. I spent today in front of the TV. It felt so nice to just sit and relax all day! I did fix Chuck a burger when he got home from work but I've basically done nothing all day. And it's been so nice!
I pray you have a blessed weekend.
