Wow! We've neglected to post since Wednesday. How time flies. Obviously, there has not been much to report. We've continued to have good times and Leah feels well. Thursday was highlighted with a visit from Pastor Feldt and a trip to Target. Leah insisted we needed to go to Target and we were reluctant because we didn't need anything. It was actually a fun little family outing.

On Friday, Leah had her in home pre school session. When I arrived home, they still had paint on their faces. Somehow Chloe was involved in this activity as well. Leah is refusing to take the paint off her face and continues to still have a red nose. Chloe's nose is purple. I'm sure bath time tomorrow will be disappointing. Tina and I made the trip to Bellevue to Kyle's visitation. We both felt very good that we went, eventhough the circumstances were obviously not ideal. Please keep praying for his family as they move on to a new journey of dealing with their grief, yet also celebrating his life. Tina and I did enjoy the time we were able to spend with eachother alone. We enjoyed the scenery from Dubuque to Bellevue on the way there and listened to the Hawkeye game on the way home.

It was nice to have another spring like day again. This reminded me to thank those who brought by daffodils from the American Cancer Society. We enjoyed watching them blossom. The words of encouragement on the card state, "The daffodil is the first flower of spring and with spring comes the eternal hope for a world free of cancer." That's something to pray for!

God bless,

Chris
