Tonight we are THANKING & PRAISING God for his blessings. Savannah called earlier to let us know that her scans all came out clear and the existing tumor on her adrenal gland is a little smaller!!!!! Very good news!
She thought she would be getting home tonight but the bad weather in DC kept her plane on the tarmac for over an hour so she missed her connecting flight in Dallas.
Good thing her friend Nicole is living there now. She's going to pick her up and get her back to the airport tomorrow morning for her flight home. Oh, the drama!
Danny, Shelby and I are leaving in the morning for Nashville. We are visiting a couple of colleges that Shelby is interested in. No....she's not a senior....just a junior but being the over-achiever that she is, wants to get a head start on everything. It doesn't hurt that the big Country Music marathon & festival is going on this weekend either. Her friends are running the 1/2 marathon. She was training to run it too until she sprained her ankle. The doctor advised her NOT to run or even walk that far . He said it was a pretty serious sprain. Guess she'll just have to walk around the festival, listening to live concerts from up and coming artist, eat the great food, shop the booths, and watch for the celebs walking around. Hmmmmm,....tough job! :)
We will be staying with a new friend that we met at NIH while we were there in February. She was there with her dying friend, Teri. The minute we heard each others accent, we knew we had that "southern thing" in common so by the time we left, we had become good friends. She might even be a long lost relative.....she acts an awful lot like our family... :0 ....Oh my!
I probably should quit rambling on and get packed. What does one wear to a big - Who's Who in Nashville event? lol
Thanks for the prayers!

Early this morning.......
Bless Danny's heart! He got up at 4-something this morning to get Savannah to XNA for her 7am flight to NIH. He let me stay in bed and listen to the rain and thunder.....total heaven...til I had to get Shelby up for school at 6am :(
As I was praying for her safety, I was thinking how an Ark might be a safer means of travel than flying through so much rain, lightning, winds etc......but God controls all that stuff anyway so....
Her scans and tests are this afternoon then she has her breathing treatment and clinic tomorrow. She will fly back tomorrow evening. Clinic is when they will tell her if the last treatment is working or how well it is working. We believe it will be great news but extra prayers never hurt anything. So, once again, we are asking for prayer that she will have NO tumors anywhere in her body. She could also use prayers to get rid of a pesky sinus infection that she's been fighting for a couple weeks.
We had a wonderful Easter Sunday. Wes & Melody (Couch) and their 4 little girls hosted our family Easter dinner after church. It was great celebrating the Resurrection with such precious family members!
Speaking of Savannah, she just called and has made it into Chicago. From there she will fly straight into DC and take the Metro to NIH.
PLEASE keep up those prayers! Love to ALL!

Day after-April Fools Day!
Oooops! Didn't mean to hit enter on that last title....sorry!
Savannah has signed a lease on a tri-plex she found this week. She's very excited about it. I think it will be really cute when she gets her stuff in and decorates. It's in the area behind Fiesta Square so it's a good location..easy to get to any part of town.
Shelby is looking forward to having the whole upstairs to herself but I think she will miss Savannah more than she realizes....although....Savannah's new place is within 2 minutes of Shelby's school so Savannah might have a little more company than what she's bargained for!!! :)
I have been very amused lately!.....April Fools Day has never really held any significance for me so I was surprised at how excited Shelby, Laura, Megan and Kim got about all the pranks they were going to play on their friends. I even overheard Laura and Megan saying this was one of the best days of their lives. Yes, they were being overly dramatic but they were VERY excited!!! They started planning the night before with all kinds of ideas....some good, some bad and some...just....well....stupid. :) Anyway, I'm not sure what they did to their poor friends at school but when they left here yesterday morning, they had a huge coffee mug velcro'd to the top of Shelby's car. It looked like she just sat it up on top to get into the car and then forgot it. BTW - I've done this with everything from a drink to a Bible....if it's not velcro'd on...it's not a good outcome! :(
I really didn't think many people would see it or pay attention but as they were trying to get out of our driveway, Greenland actually experienced their first ever
"traffic jam". It was great! Shelby was waiting her turn to pull out and cars were stopping, honking, rolling their windows down and yelling to warn them that there was a drink on top of the car. When I heard the commotion I looked out the front door and cars were lined up from our second driveway to the stoplight. It was mostly men and/or young guys waving them down. The girls just played dumb and gestured like - "what???....we don't understand you"!!!!!! Apparently, this went on all through town. All the way to school and all the way home! At some point, they got tired of playing dumb and wrote on a piece of paper with mascara (didn't have a pen - even though they were on their way to school....hmmm...?) a sign that said GOTCHA! Everyone seemed to have a good sense of humor about it, I guess.....I didn't get any phone calls from the police.
So after such an exciting day we're back to normal....whatever that is! Oh, except for Bo. He is in Dallas at the PASSION CONFERENCE. It's supposed to be one of the biggest and best Christian conferences ever! He and about 40 other people from his group left yesterday. He has a few pics of it on his FB page already and said that so far -it's "wicked sweet" I think that means really great! :)
BTW - He is looking for a much needed job. If any of you hear about ANYTHING please let us know! Prayers would help too!
Savannah will be returning to NIH in about 3 weeks. We would appreciate continued prayers that the one tumor she has will be gone.
Thanks and LOVE to ALL
