Rainy Birthday Weekend

I know that you, like us, complained at least once this weekend of the unending rain. In spite of the wet, cold weather we had a great weekend. All of our children humored us and joined one of Ronnie and Matt's deer hunting groups for a covered dish on Saturday night. There was lots of good food and we certainly enjoyed seeing everyone.

Three of our children have birthdays in March. Since Megan and Mike were home for the weekend, we celebrated her birthday yesterday (the 15th is actually Kendra's birthday). I had ask Megan a week or more ago what she'd like me to serve for her birthday--the entree she chose was BBQ chicken. Remember it was raining a LOT here Sunday morning. I don't think any of our children actually thought there'd be any thing from the grill for lunch, but we had the chicken along with the sides Megan had requested. We plan to have dinner for Matt and Kendra on Tuesday night, which is actually Megan and Matt's birthday. We enjoyed being together at church and afterward for lunch.

Jeremiah and Simonvisited for a little while Sunday evening. Kendra and Jason went out for Kendra's birthday. There was more conversation during that few hours than is in our house in a normal week. Those boys just love to talk and Pa and I just love to hear them talk. The evening ended with Pa and I enjoying a couple of episodes of Scooby Doo with the boys. Their favorite!! We're so enjoying time with our family.

Our weekend was great. Ronnie had felt pretty bad Thursday afternoon and Friday following his Tuesday Chemo. We're so thankful he felt better for the remainder of the weekend. He has another treatment tomorrow. Please continue to pray these treatments will do exactly what they're intended to do. Our pastor spoke on prayer yesterday. What a timely message. Thank you so much for praying for Ronnie and our family.
