A good but crazy week

We have been extremely busy over the past couple of weeks but in a good way.  I was out of town for work this past week so that always seems to make life a little more hectic at home.  Reyn was out of town last weekend helping to run GMOM (Georgia Mission of Mercy).  It was a free dental clinic for the state of Georgia.  So much time and effort went into planning GMOM and he worked some 16 hour days!  It is such a great cause and I am so proud of him for using his talents to help others.  We have seen so many rush to our aid in recent months and we are grateful to have opportunities to give back!

Aside from a busy schedule ( like every other family) we are doing great.  Quite grateful for a busy schedule and normal routine.  Reyn is so busy at work these days.  The Lord has certainly blessed him and his team with a full patient load.

The kiddos keep us on our toes.  Grier is busy practicing her new trick of rolling over.  It is actually very funny to watch...as soon as you lay her down she flips over to her belly.  She likes looking at herself in the mirror.  Jackson is busy teaching her all about trains and how to roll a car properly along the coffee table.  He calls her Miss Priss which is just too cute for words!

We are excited for our upcoming trip to the beach and look forward to some quality relaxing time with family.  We hope that you all get a chance to enjoy some vacation time with your families this summer as well.  Thank you for checking in on us and continuing to lift us up in prayer.  We love you all and are very grateful for you!

Great Report

Hi friends!

I am so sorry I am just now getting to the blog update.  Many of you already know but for those of you who do not, Reyn's follow up was excellent!  We actually got into Durham the night before his appointment on Wednesday and were able to catch a Durham Bulls game.  Reyn had checked out their schedule ahead of time and saw they were in town so we headed straight for the ballpark from the airport.  It was a beautiful night in Durham and just an all around fun outing with my husband!

His MRI showed some improvement over the last appointment 3 months ago.  We were so happy to hear it!  The doctor said that Reyn is doing great and this MRI proves he had a successful surgical resection.  She reiterated that Reyn has so many things working in his favor.  He has a favorable tumor type.  His tumor is low grade (benign) and he has the chromosomal deletions of 1p, 19q.......all are good factors!  So we move forward and look ahead to another good appointment in the future.

I have to say a special thank you to my hubby and both grandmothers for allowing me to go to Florida with my girlfriends this week for our annual girls getaway!  (Thus the reason my blog entry has been delayed). Reyn and I returned from Duke on Wednesday night and I headed down to Destin, FL with my girlfriends on Thursday morning!  We had such a good time of rest, relaxation and "girl talk."  We almost didn't know how to behave without chasing little people around the table at dinner time!  It was a great time away but I am so thankful to be back with family again!  I told Reyn I owe him a boys weekend now!  ;)

Thanks for checking in and for all of the prayers!  Keep em coming...they are working!
