Weekend

Helping Daddy has been the highlight of Eden's day today. She got to help by using a drive-driver (screw driver), as daddy repaired the shower. All afternoon, she and daddy went into the bathroom to make sure the shower was still fixed! Each time, it was still fixed! Way to go Daddy and Eden! Oh how nice it is to have a Handy husband!!!

Thomas the Train comes to town . . . not sure if you all caught it but the train that comes through Washington is Thomas the Train - at least to Eden it is.

Missing (nurse) Mary Lou . . . Eden has missed seeing all her friends at the clinic this week as she has been requesting to see Mary Lou all weekend. I think she will be ready to see them all on Wednesday and we are ready to continue to "kick cancer". Please pray that her labs on Tuesday show improvement so that we can proceed with this round of treatment. Assuming her lab numbers are high enough, Eden will be admitted for chemo & IV fluid.

Cooking! Other than cooking eggs and baking cookies at her kitchen, Eden enjoyed helping us make homemade pancakes for breakfast and cookies (in our kitchen). She knows that she needs to ask for a dining room chair to be moved into the kitchen, to be placed by the counter, where she stands to assist in pouring ingredients and stirring. She scares the death out of her daddy, because she assumes the responsibility of holding the mixer, and Kurt warns me that one of these days she's going to turn it on and either scatter the kitchen with dough, or loose a finger. Needless to say, when she's helping us, there are always a set of adult eyes on her.

We're asking for prayers that this week's regimen goes well, and that Eden's little friends continue to do well in their own battles with cancer. You all don't know how much we appreciate not having to go through this alone! We really truely mean that too!

  1. Hope all goes well on the tests so Edan can "kick that cancer"! Wishing all of you a wonderful week. We hear spring has sprung in Iowa, so we are heading back to Avoca April 8th. We will go to KC to put together the big kids beds for the twins (Larry made them while we were here in Arizona). Then Easter weekend back to clean-up around the schools and begin mowing. We plan to see Preston, Billie, Quinn and Rex April 18th or 19th. You take good care of that precious Edan. We're always reading to see how everyone is doing. Warm wishes from Arizona, Judy and Larry Rhamy

  2. Hi Kurt, Selena & Eden! It's nice to read your blog & hear what my favorite brother & his family are doing! I love all the cooking and outdoor stories! I wish we lived closer so we could see you more. Thanks so much for the updated photos, you know how much we love our pictures! I thought of you while we were in Mexico & had a picture taken with my "pray for Eden" bracelet while on the beach, you were thought of around the world!! We love you & pray for you everyday!!
