So it has been several months since I have updated and today is the 2 year anniversary of Caleb beginning chemo so why not today?
Everyone is doing well, Caleb is in school full time and loving it (not the work just the socializing).  He goes to the YMCA just about every day now so he can work out and play basketball.  Yesterday when I picked him up after school he got in the car and informed me he wants to take wrestling next year!  He has never had wrestling (other than with his brothers of course) so like any good mother I said NO!!!  Of course Scott seems to think this would be a good thing for him, is he crazy?  I think yes!  Enough of that subject it will just stress me out! lol 
All of Caleb's check-ups have been good, he goes back next month for another one.  He will continue to go every three months for at least a couple of years and after that I don't know how often he will have to go.  He is doing really well with his prosthesis, he has had this one for 6 months and has only had to have it adjusted once, they cut out a piece to allow for him to be able to fit all the way in and he broke the knee so we are still waiting to get that back, he really did a number on it ( he has a loaner). 
As for the rest of the family...  Jacob will be a junior next year and plans on going to vo-tech to take welding.  Seems my boys have decided to carry on the family tradition of welding.  My grandpa was a welder, Empire Erector's was the company name, I think he would be proud but concerned, it can be a rough life style.  Ben and Daniel are already welding and have been for a couple of years now and now Jacob is headed that direction, I'm pretty sure Caleb will do something different. 
I guess I need to take some new pictures and get them posted.  I think that covers the important things, life if going on and we are as normal as any family I think.  Life is good at the moment and I think living in the moment is probably how we should do it.  We are blessed, we have beautiful, healthy children and 3 grand babies that are a testament to life going on.  Colt will be 3 in May, Grace,will be 7 in June and Ryan and Tori had a baby (Jocelyn) in September. It seems like yesterday Grace was being born!  Grace loves to sit and draw (and yes she makes me sit and draw also) so as soon as they walk in she goes straight to the basket with all the art supplies, Colt drags out his tools every time they come over.  I have an old trunk with their toys in it and he will ask if he can open it and then he will ask " where are the tools mammom Cindy?"  They were here a couple of days ago and I got a trip down memory lane when every time I answered a question Colt would say "why?" .  I finally said "Colt do you drive your mama crazy asking why?"  he looked at me and grinned and said "yes".  They are precious, no two ways about it!  Yes, we are blessed...
Psalm 27 13&14
¹³ I remain confident of this:
   I will see the goodness of the LORD
   in the land of the living.
¹⁴ Wait for the LORD;
   be strong and take heart
   and wait for the LORD.

I miss this...

I really need to get back to this, I didn't realize how long it had been and that I miss it.  Writing was a way for me to work thru things, there was so much that I would write but delete that helped me work things out in myself.  We are going thru another huge battle but I am not at liberty to discuss it yet, just pray for our family as we find the answers and see where we go from here.
