Just catching ya'll up

I am SOOO sorry I have not posted the events of last week. I thought I had called everyone but I found out I did not. I DO NOT HAVE CANCER!!! In fact I don't have anything - just translucent mucus glands - gross :P Thank you all for your prayers - the Lord was watching over me and my family that day.

My mother-in-law Cathy got a great report from her doctor that day as well...the cancer has NOT grown - PRAISE HIM!!!!! He is working wonders in her life. Yes she still has down days and not feeling great days but He is keeping her strong and her eyes are focused on Him! Again I say PRAISE HIM!!!

Well this week is Eric's last week of work. He is off for a guaranteed 5 weeks with the possibility of it turning into 8-9 weeks. We are starting his time off with a FAMILY VACATION!!! We are going camping at Muskegon State Park (sorry Nikki but we have a pretty packed trip and we won't be able to stop by)...Eric and I went camping together last year alone - this year we are a little bit braver...we are taking Madison. She just got this really cool new portable tent crib thing (technical terms I know LOL ) It looks just like a dome tent and it has a built in blow-up mattress...we are excited to try it out. No more lugging around a heavy & uncomfortable porta crib! We plan on going to Michigan Adventure while we are gone and then doing some beaches that we discovered last year on our family vacation...and a trip out west isn't complete without a trip to the John Ball Zoo :)

I will update everyone on our trip when we return. I will have Internet access (I still have to work while I'm out of town) and we will have our cells on at all times (except while we are going down the FUNNEL OF FEAR!!!!). We will be gone Monday 23rd - Thursday 26th...but we may have so much fun we might stay an extra night or two.

I hope everyone is enjoying the cool weather - I'm sure Aunt Alice is :) Love to all and I will blog again soon!
