We are about to board our plane for Houston. It is like 100 degrees in this airport and its even hotter in Houston. Oh how I loathe this heat.  I'm looking forward to some cool crisp air this fall.  Anyway..... I thought I would share these pictures.

Dave will celebrate his 38th birthday next Wednesday...the day after his surgery.  Being without that ugly old tumor will be a great birthday present!!  The pictures above were from a couple of weeks ago.  Some of our sweet friends got him a cake since he will be gone on his actual birthday.

So today's the day.  We will be flying to Houston in a few hours.  I am thankful today to be able to leave my kiddos in such good hands.  I know that my sisters will take care of them as well  as I would.  It is a relief to not have to worry about that.  Dave is feeling a bit anxious today.  I think we will feel some relief when we get to Houston.  We are hoping we may be able to get the scan results tomorrow.....it can't hurt to ask.  So I will keep you updated as we know anything!  Thanks for walking through this with us!
