Update on Bill D

This year has been especially rough year for dad - remember, the 66 year old young chap that built an addition on our house last year? He is a proud survivor of prostate cancer, which he battled in August/September this year. The last week he has been fighting an internal infection in the hospital. Please keep him in your prayers as he stays strong and recovers from this minor hiccup in the road! We're ready for him to be back in action, working on a new project! Until then, Alayna will be keeping him company, watching cartoons at the hospital.

This year more than ever, we are thankful for family, and the value of sticking together as family regardless of where we call "home." Family means so much to Chris and I, and sometimes it's hard living away from everyone we have spent the majority of our life with, and that we care so much about. It's especially tough to be apart when family is facing a difficult time. We're so thankful and care so much for the families we have, and we are fortunate that we can rely on one another, supporting one another though the ups and downs in this journey of life together. And we're blessed that though we may not live in the same city or state, that we'll always be there for each other, with love and prayers, just a phone call away.

I also wanted to share this photo with you, it's a necklace Alayna made at school. She said it is very breakable. She is so precious!  :)
