Mark is doing well this week. He remains a little dehydrated and is constantly fighting that. The nausea seems to have left and we are thankful. He has been busy catching up with his grading. His students are anxious to get their projects back. He is working diligently tonight trying to get them all finished.

Colton's football team played in the championship game last night at the High School stadium. He was so excited. Their team won and had an undefeated season this year. The kids were so excited as well as the coaches. They all worked so hard this year. Mark got to enjoy the game from the sideline.

Calen is busy practicing basketball every day after school. He comes home exhausted from all the running and conditioning they do. The season will be starting up soon and will be very busy. Most of their games start at 4 or 4:30.

The kids all got their picture taken tonight at the mall with Aubie dressed up as Santa. We didn't realize they were doing the pictures tonight, but happened to be there shopping. Emily was psyched and had to get hers done, so we talked the boys into it, too. I think it will be cute. The pictures will be mailed to the house later. Of course, they weren't dressed up or anything, but still it will be a great keepsake for later.

Mark is excited to have his twin brother, Matt, coming in this weekend for the Auburn/Georgia game and tailgate. It should be fun (the tailgate anyway-unless you are a Georgia fan). After the weekend of fun, he will gear up for his next round of chemo on Monday. Pray that it is easier on him this time. God bless!!
