Sarah's Cancer: Home, Sweet Home - Saturday

We spent most of Saturday driving home.  We made good time and got home around 4pm.  The drive was good except the DVD player stopped working around Pendleton.  That meant the girls had to play with each other or their toys for the last 4-5 hours.  This meant added stress when they started fighting.  They were pretty good and we stopped at a couple of fruit stands on the way home.  The girls tried some fresh plums that were not completely ripe, and they weren't very big fans of them.  We are grateful that Sarah didn't have a fever or any problems on the ride home.

I had cleaned/organized our garage before I left Seattle and it was nice to come home and see the added space that I had created.  We added a bunch of stuff and brought the car top box home, so I had to park the car out of the garage and empty it out and take it off before the car would fit in the garage.  The car was full from the added stuff that I brought down on my trip, the things that Anna (my cousin) brought down from our house, the gifts that Sarah received, and the gifts that Gus received for his Birthday.  My parents also gave us some food storage to bring home.  We are grateful for all the love that those gifts represent.  It is truly touching to see how much people care.

It was amazing to see the love that people had for us when we got home.  The ward here had gotten some bunk beds for the girls and set them up and provided new sheets for the beds.  The house was squeaky clean.  There were a bunch of frozen meals in our freezer, and food in the fridge and on the counter.  We are so very grateful for the love and service that has been shown to us.  It was extremely nice to not have to worry about trying to go out to the grocery store, after coming home.  For those who participated, we thank you and know that we can't do enough to let you know how much it means to us. We only hope in the future we can help others who find themselves in need.
