Yesterday we returned home after six wonderful days in Regina with Tim, Kim, their precious four, and Barbie.
Nothing beats spending time with our kids and grandkids. What a busy household, but so full of love. Such fun to wake up to four sets of eyes staring at us in our cozy dark basement bedroom before jumping into bed with us for lots of snuggles and shennanigans!! So much for sleeping in!!
We were there to help Gracyn celebrate her 7th birthday last Sunday. She's such a little tomboy princess, all dressed up in her Christmas dress, but putting in a special request for a "Dirt" cake with worms!!!
"Auntie" was SO amazing and full of energy, helping Papa and Grammy take care of the kids on Saturday and Sunday while Tim and Kim went to Moose Jaw for a horse clinic.
Kim's feeling just about back to normal after her chemo--a very active Mom and homemaker. She's resumed helping Tim with chores and caring for the horses, with special attention to the newest member of the family, Smartie, their three week old fillie.
Tim and Kim managed to escape the ever-present camera except for a couple of appearances with little Mykenna!!
We are so proud of them and the courage and faith with which they have faced Kim's cancer. Although her prognosis is very good, there's that "niggling" fear that it may return, so prayers for a release from those anxieties are much needed.
It's so sweet to hear the children pray at bedtime for Mommy, Papa, and Uncle Jim to get better. One of the kids asked Papa "What kind of breast cancer do you have?" Bob had two hemo-dialysis treatments at the Regina General Hospital and it all went very well. The pain in his lower back continues and is moderately increasing. He will have his first chemo on Friday, beginning another round of treatments two times every three weeks.
The wall hanging that Tim made Kim for Christmas hangs on their bedroom wall as a constant reminder of our faith, hope, and love that find their source in Jesus Christ, our ever-present Helper and Healer.
