Merry Monday

Merry Monday to you!  I hope you had a good weekend where you were able to find rest so that you can do the good works God has prepared just for you.

Angela begins her fifth round of chemo today.  This round will be four weeks long as we're taking an extra week off from chemo for Easter.  That means that there are only seven weeks left of chemo before we take a significant break and do some more tests.  At that time, Angela will get a scope (camera down her throat) and a PET scan (indicates places of significant cell reproduction). The last CT scan revealed that there hasn't been any new growth (at least that they can see with this kind of scan), so that's been good news for us.

I didn't end up going on the mini-retreat with students from the College so I got some other work done while Angela was away with the kids at her parents.  We played hooky from Church yesterday and while we missed being with our Church family, it was good for us to challenge our external religious tendencies.  We slept in (I'm a big fan of 'Fall Back', but I hate 'Spring Ahead'), had brunch at ABC, went to Walmart and picked up Ruby's new car seat (she's been a good eater and is finally at 40lbs), popped into Ikea and bought a few things, then caught 'The Lorax' at the theatre.  We came home, ate some leftover pizza (tried out the new Ricardo's by the Church building... not too shabby), bathed the kids and put them to bed.

I'm watching the kids today.  It's not even mid afternoon and we've already built a tower taller than Charlie, fed the neighbour's goats a few apples, rode our bikes, spilled hot chocolate all over the kitchen, and watched a few episodes of dinosaur train.
