a good weekend and sad good byes

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.
