6 Month Check = CANCER FREE!!

I had my 6 month follow up mammogram and ultra sound and everything is progressing as it should be in the healing department! Praise God! It was another day of relying on my own personal scripture verse: Philippians 4:6-7. Even though I wasn't anticipating any bad news; after experiencing that "road" once, I guess it's easier to have anxiety about it again. As I nearly passed out and broke into tears twice during the procedure; the extremely professional and sweet technician assured me that this happens often times with many women. Amazing what one's mind can do. And, once again, I leaned heavily on the Lord-and He pulled me through it all with His calming peace. God is so good-all the time!


After swinging by the clinic and getting my Shingles vaccination, I walked into the kitchen to find these:




My sweet hubs surprised me with his unspoken encouragement and praise. 

It's been a busy and fun few weeks beginning my "Nana the Nanny" job, and it's easily the most rewarding, exciting, heart-warming job I have ever had! Jaxon's the cutest little guy, with a sweet smile everytime he sees me. 


Honestly…this is what I see every time I go to the crib to pick him up after his nap. I am blessed!

We bought a "Grandkids" kayak, and Tatum gave it a trial run yesterday. She took to it like a duck takes to water, and was an instant natural. We had so much fun, we went back out twice. And, the best thing is: her Mama's hooked, too! I am loving living on Shelley Lake!



We've been having gorgeous weather for the past week or so. This little gal has taken a liking to my bird feeders. She visited the feeder right on our patio before having baby, and now stays a bit further away. 






My friend reminded me that Fall weather is right around the corner. I still have a hard time adjusting to that after living in Northern California for 9 years. In my head, it's going to be wonderful weather for months yet! I imagine I'll "get my head on straight" when the thermometer drops in the evenings!  I know one thing….I'm having a hard time staying off the lake with the bright moon we've had the past few nights! Nothing like moonlit kayaking! 


Well, I guess I'd better sign off for tonight. Need to get extra rest as I'm fighting a cold, and also begin watching Jaxon full time next week! 


PRAYER WARRIORS: Please continue prayers for Jim and Marilyn; (Jim is battling lung cancer), for Steve and Sylvia; (Steve is going through chemo for esophageal and lung cancer), and all others who are struggling, suffering, or fighting the good fight.


"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you." Ephesians 4:32
