Lots has happened since my last post. Visited Kelsie at Camp Friedenswald and was so impressed by the staff and Kelsie's opportunities there while being a volunteer. She loved being a counselor and also had the opportunity to work in the office using some of her marketing skills. She was offered a job next summer...guess she made a good impression! Mom's prayers really do work :)

Thought I would post what Carli wrote on Facebook to a girl who is completing her chemo for Lymphoma:

It may seem like the very best day of your life to date, but Rhi you are going to have so many more that will top tomorrow after this!! SO excited for you and praising God that all has worked out so wonderfully for you. What makes me even more thankful is how you have walked out of this "adventure" with a smile. It takes very specia...l people to be able to do that, and girl, you top them all :)
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. 1 Chronicles 16:34

They have never met, but have a special bond called cancer. It is amazing the people that she has "met" and encouraged along the way. It is so true that "all things work together for good to those who love God"...in some way, at least, you can always see the good that comes from a terrible situation.

We had a great week on Hilton Head Island. Kelsie's friend Lilly came along and they were so easy to have along. We basically hit the beach with a good book and that was the extent of the activity that we did!! It was HOT...even the ocean and the pools were too warm!! But all in all a good, relaxing time. So needed...

Tara called yesterday and Grace rolled over for the first time! After she did, Tara said that she looked at her with a look that said "what am I doing HERE? I don't even like being on my tummy!!" so fun watching the milestones of her first year.
