Summer Fun


Well I am adding this picture of Joshua. I have a video but I can't figure out how get it uploaded. When I do you will be able to hear him play his recital piece. The nicest thing happened on Sunday, we got a call from The Taylors, Candice was having her senior recital and heard about how Joshua missed his. She asked us if Joshua would play that night at her performance. It was so wonderful, he did a great job and was so happy! I am so greatful for their thoughtfulness. Sometimes Josh gets down and things like this really matter. He is doing well and we are enjoying the beginning of summer. We started swim lessons for all the kids. We talked to the director of the program and put him in a class that could let him attend but not let him feel behind. People always ask how he is doing and we say great cause he is but it is important to remember that what that really means is that he is doing great for a child with brain cancer. He gets very tired and doesn't eat nearly as much as he should. It shows up when he does things like swimming because he has no stamina, he can't make it accross the pool. We try not to put him a situation where it is obvious, that just makes him sad. Other than that things are great! Piano, swimming and just having fun is our plan for the summer. We invite anyone who can to come visit, we can't come to you but there is always room here. As always, thanks for your prayers and you are in ours.
(Our next hospitalized chemo is the 11th of June and we are expecting to be there one night if all goes well. I will post more info when I have it...........)

Oh, Josh looks so handsome up there. I wish we could have been there. Garrett is really interested in starting paino. I told him next year when his mom can catch her breath.
I really want to plan a trip out there, but it won't be anytime soon.
