Tuesday, October 16th

We are getting excited to head to Disneyland.  We leave next Monday and are there through Friday.  The kids are excited.  We are so grateful for all the wonderful things that Make-A-Wish does.  We were invited to a theater showing on Saturday for the new Tinkerbell movie.  Sarah wasn't feeling super well and didn't want to go, so it was just Lilly and I.  It was fun.

Saturday also was the day that I took my girls to get their ski rentals for the season.  Sarah should be ready to start to learn this season.  I don't think that she will last super long, but she can start to learn.  On the skiing note, we have decided that I am not going to teach this year.  It is sad to not go back to Deer Valley, but it seems to be the right time to break that tradition for me.  That also means our Christmas plans are undecided.  We don't know where we are going to be and what we are going to do.

Sarah is coming out of a phase where she sleeps a lot.  It is common and expected about 6 weeks after kids go through radiation.  It was hard because she just wanted to sleep and didn't want to eat or drink.  She has been on steroids for the last 5 days and that has helped get her appetite and activity level back.  She still has her chemo pill that she takes every night.

We were grateful for General Conference.  We got rejuvenated by the talks and felt the spirit.  We know that the Lord is mindful of our challenges and gives us opportunities to grow.  We are grateful for all those who continue to pray for us and provide for our needs.  I am still amazed at the outpouring of love and service that we have received.  Thank you all.
