Mommy and My Boy’s

we’ve had such a busy past couple weeks with school starting, birthday parties, austin starting his second round of chemo.  Some exciting news along the way is that Logan made the school’s soccer team! we are so excited for him and know this will boost his confidence!  Jacob signed up for the Chess Club which meets during recess and i am hoping he can teach me how to play!

Please keep austin in your prayers this week for his counts to stay high and for the tumor to be shrinking. 

I wondered if you would send a note of encouragement to him this week to keep his spirits up!  His address is Austin McCleary, 2102 Highlander Drive, Warsaw, IN  46580.

Here are a few pics from the past couple weeks:

Sending birthday wishes to my nephew, Colby, who turns 5 today!  wow~how big you are getting.  we hope you have an awesome birthday today and maybe we will get to come down and see you!

We took logan to fort wayne to spend his birthday money today and stopped by the splash park.  i hope that we get one of these soon.  it was a beautiful park and the best part is it’s free!

Logan had an amazing birthday on friday and had loads of fun!  thanks to all the fam for making it so special for him….

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOGAN!

wow, 12 yrs and my baby is now a tween!!  although it has gone by in the blink of an eye, i can truly say that i am grateful for him turning into such a nice young boy.  i am so blessed to have logan as my son.  he’s got the heart of an angel and i know that he has God at the center of his life!  what more could a momma want?

here are a couple pics:

Water Fun~

We took the boys to the waterpark on wednesday to celebrate Logan’s upcoming 12th birthday and a last summertime family fun day before school starts on monday.  we had a group of 15 go and had an awesome day.  the weather couldnt have been more bodacious!
Logan and Jacob’s favorite ride was the toiletbowl.

you climb lots of steps up to the top and then put your tube down and swoosh~off ya go down the tube.  it’s totally dark inside while your rushing down it and then pop out in this huge bowl.  they call it the toilet bowl because it has the effect of riding down a toilet!  you zoom round and round and then get flushed out into the lazy river.  even the little girls loved this ride!

you can check out the park here.

Kids Listening to Instructions

I’ve been so busy i forgot to post that austin had to go to riley on saturday night.  he spiked a fever and andy had to rush him down to indy that night.  they didnt get settled into a room until 4:30am on sunday morning.  as of today, his fever has come down to around 99.  he will be there until fever goes away and they can determine what the infection is and be able to treat it.

angie and i are taking logan down as a surprise to spend the day with austin.  we hope to build up austin’s spirits as he can only take so much of adults! 

please pray for his infection to clear, fever to come down and that he starts eating/sleeping again so that he can return home.  pray that andy/angie get some sleep.  i think andy is probably exhausted.  pray for drew and jw as they are missing austin and daddy tremendously. also pray for our families travels tomorrow and the rest of the week.

Thanks~
