We had a really good weekend with some really great friends. Dave had a few really good days Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. We took the kids to The Children's Museum on Saturday. It's kinda like the McWane Center in Birmingham. The kids wore their costumes and went on a scavenger hunt throughout the museum. Once they went to all the stations they would get a prize. So we went did all the the things they wanted to do in the museum and turned their papers in on the way out. Samuel was standing there thinking he would get a big bag of candy or some really cool toy......and they handed him a growth chart. He was totally not interested in that. He just turned and walked out. It was really funny at the time. But we did color the charts today and plan to chart their growth while we are in Houston. It will be fun to see if any of them grow while we are here. :) Our friends Christy and Jason flew out and spent the weekend with us. When Jason walked up he had a shaved head just like Dave. Oh how we miss all of our friends. It was so nice having them here. They went to the museum with us and to church with us on Sunday. Christy painted the girls nails and Jason wrestled and played football with Samuel. We love having people come to visit, but can hardly stand when they leave. We took my Mama to the airport this morning. She has been with us since the kids got here last Friday. She helped us move to the apartment and get settled into a routine. So we said all of our sad goodbyes this weekend.
Dave started getting a headache last night. He still has it. It is somewhat better this afternoon, but it has been a really hard day for him. The pain medicine he has doesn't help his headaches. There doesn't seem to be anything else he can take right now. His bloodwork is still good though.
I'll leave you with some pictures from the weekend.

As I was sitting here reading your blog, looking at Dave's and Jason's beautiful heads, the song "How He Loves" was playing. It just overwhelmed me to know the He really, really does love us. I think of how much He loves Dave ... how He is working His will ... in a way that only He knows and we can't understand. I pray Dave and you and your children sense His love, His peace, His presence, and His comfort tonight. I am praying that God was give Dave relief from this headache. He is so brave. So are you. You are both my heros. I love you.
We are praying for relief from that headache and for strength of mind and body in the days to come. We do miss you guys and hopefully can come see you in the near future! If you need anything please give us a call!
Love you!
Oh my Lisa, What a beautiful family you have! And that Dave,remember how I rooted for him to be the one? I am so glad he won your heart. God has surely blessed you with a wonderful husband and precious children. I just found out about Dave's health, and have just read your blog. I will pray for you guys while you are on this journey of faith. I am praying for complete healing for Dave, I know this Great Physican that can heal. Lisa I am praying for your strength as you minister to your husband and as you comfort and enlighten your children, may the Lord comfort your heart as well. I pray for the children to be understanding and bring laughter that lightens any heaviness. I am praying that my Heavenly Father will shower all of your family with peace that is beyond understanding.Now unto Him who is able....Eph.3:20
I still love you,
Kala Sims

I am so glad you had a good visit with Jason and Christi. The children look great, sounds like they had fun at the museum, but like Samuel I would have thought how lame...a growth chart on Halloween....Praying you will have a good week.
