Hell to all. Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. It's been busy. Mark has been quite sick with this round of chemo. He did okay Thursday, but Friday he began vomiting and was up all night Friday night with violent vomiting episodes. This didn't stop until early Saturday morning and he finally was able to fall asleep and rest. Needless to say, he hasn't eaten much this weekend and is WAY down on his calorie intake. He is slowly starting to feel better, but still even today hasn't eaten much at all.
Mark's aunts from New Orleans, Aunt Maureen and Aunt Louise, made it here Friday for a visit. They came bearing gifts of shrimp po boys, muffalattas, and king cake. YUM!!!! We enjoyed great food all weekend. Mark was disappointed that he wasn't feeling better and only spent a limited amount of time visiting with them. It was a really rough weekend for him and he is just this evening starting to feel better. The kids enjoyed the weekend and Emily talked everyone's ear off. We went to mass this morning and had lunch and Louise and Maureen headed back home this afternoon. The kids are now looking forward to Mardi Gras as they want to go to New Orleans to visit their aunts and see the parades.
Colton kept us busy with football make up games and a baseball tournament. His football team lost, but the baseball team won the tournament. That was their last tournament for the fall season and we will now get a breather until spring.
Thanks for all the support once again. Please keep Carly Parker in your prayers as well. God bless!!!!!

So sorry to hear Mark was sick this weekend. I just read this tonight (Monday) but I was praying for him and your family on my way to Montgomery today. I pray this verse over you now - And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Hi Mark,
Sandy and I just got back from the Reno FMA. We missed you! Lou had a reception at which we talked to Duane, Nandu and Chitra, Susan, Michael, and Lou and Anne.
Everyone wishes you well, and we look forward to seeing you at the New York FMA next October.
Cheers,
Gary
Thinking of you today and praying for y'all. This verse keeps coming to mind as we pray for y'all this week, "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Det. 31:6 Stay strong in your faith, there is power in prayer.
