Fabulous

Today was a wonderful day. We nearly didn't go to church, but decided last minute to go anyway. I am so glad we did. I really enjoyed it and was so thankful that we went.
Cody came to visit today. I know this might not seem like a major thing, but it's the first time that Cody has been to our house since February - so it was kind of a big deal. That's a very long story and one that I am not so sure I will ever blog about. We will just say that we've spent a long time trying to mend fences that were damaged by others and are just now getting things back closer to normal.
We took all three kids to Magic Springs. Today was the last day they would be open this year. The weather was glorious! The sun was shining, the park wasn't crowded, and Elijah was finally tall enough to ride some of the big rides he has been eyeballing for the past two years. He actually rode The Gauntlet - which is their big scary roller coaster that spirals and loops and does crazy things. He and Hannah have this love for crazy roller coasters and dangerous rides - I honestly have no idea where they got it from!
So.. next week will be a week of laundry, trying to get ahead at work, and trying to get things lined out here at home for our trip to Philly next week. I will probably be a nervous wreck toward the end of the week, so I am really going to try to enjoy some peace of mind over the next couple of days. Elijah has scans and bone marrows next week and it always makes me crazy nervous. I think we will have better news this time than we did last time. I feel certain that we will. I just wonder what Dr. Maris is going to say our next step for treatment will need to be. More unknown...
