August 17

Hello everyone. We had a nice and relaxing weekend. We finished painting the back porch ceiling. It looks really good and we moved all the patio furniture back onto the patio. I'm sure the neighbors are all happy now. haha

Mark's next test will be Wednesday morning. This will be the one that determines whether or not the area of the colon is healed and "leak proof" so that we can go back to Pittsburgh and reverse the ileostomy. We will pray very hard this week that there are no leaks there. We will then have to wait on word from Pittsburgh and hopefully all things will be a go for surgery, but I am going to just take it one step at a time. Mark was also scheduled for a urology test that same morning, so I think he will have to reschedule that one.

Mark's first day back in the classroom teaching will be Tuesday. He is excited. It has been a while since he last taught and this is a big and welcomed change for him. We have been looking forward to the day he could get back to teaching and it is now just ahead.

The kids all did well this week. The boys both survived their first week of school and Calen his first week of after school football practice. Emily totally loved her ballet and tumbling classes. She learned to plia' with her heels together and feet out. She says her "feet don't like each other and have to make a triangle". I am sure that is how the instructor explained it because it is all she says over and over. She keeps practicing. It is cute.

God bless!!!!
