December 9

Mark has had the roughest week yet since starting chemo. He feels a little better now, but the diarrhea which is pretty unpredictable keeps him from leaving the house. He missed mass this morning and really hasn't been out of the house much all weekend. Hopefully it won't keep us from the Callaway Garden Festival of Lights this weekend or our annual viewing of Christmas Vacation at the Yost's house.

Mark helped with making Christmas cookies tonight. The kids enjoyed cutting out sugar cookies and decorating them. Emily had her own stash of cookies and icing since she ended up licking the knife (which really grosses Colton out) and reusing it on the cookies. Calen and Colton had some pretty and creative designs. Colton even ended up with on OU on one cookie. Go figure!!

The boys had a fun weekend playing at the Brooks' house. Thanks Debbie and Richy for having them. Emily enjoyed the warm weather outside jumping on the trampoline, riding her tricycle and playing with the neighbor kids.

We appreciate everyone's continued support and prayers. God bless you all!!

hey guys! Rhonda, great to see you at Mass yesterday. Mark, Kirsten and I are keeping you both in our prayers. Keep at it, dude, Mass just isn't the same without that Sooner smirk!

Hi Mark,

We are thinking of you all the time! Anna has you in her nightly prayers.

I noticed from the blog that when you're feeling well golf seems to factor in the mix - that's great. We haven't been able to golf much here in WI. When we go out we have to pick up at the green and add 2 because there is too much snow to putt. I cannot believe that OU beat MU in the Big 12 Championship game!!

Keep up the faith!

Love and Warmest Wishes,

Scott Deb and Anna Beyer
