Maileen's Journey - September 29

August 2011
 Trying Infrared-Sauna-Yoga these next few days.  My body got through it, but my legs were exhausted with some of the postures.  We are all enjoying our time here in Seattle.

I start another cycle of three rounds of chemo after our trip here in Seattle. Then at the end of the month of October I have another CT scan. Praying the cancer in my liver has continued to shrink significantly or has gone. God knows best as we trust and wait on Him and trying to learn how to grow in new areas as we are trying to understand our displacement. Our time in Seattle has so far been very delightful. Thanks for praying with us through this.

Lots of sassy going on around here lately.
So much so that my throat hurts.

A Lot of Funny

We love having people over.
Love it.
I usually get stressed beforehand
(everything must be spotless, and in its place! - because THAT always happens),
and the girls are guaranteed to be super excited and loud and all over the place

I Miss You When You're Gone

So I started this post during the summer - I guess I should post it since we're jumping into fall?
I should be better at blogging.
One day.

Dear Espy and Gianna,

You went out of town this weekend with your Uncle Brian, Aunt Jen, and your cousins.  You went to

Catch Phrase

We played Catch Phrase last night.
SO fun and funny.



I wish I could remember everything that was hilarious.
It always does my heart good to laugh with friends.

Here are some snippets:

There was a princess named Evangeline.
They had a party.

Living Intentionally: Friends

We live in a ridiculously fast-paced society.
Ri.dic.u.lous.
I've mentioned it before,
but I'd love to live in a place where we can be still.
Just be.

The First Day

Dear Espy,
You started second grade today!  You're blowing my mind with how fast you're growing up.  Don't get me wrong - we butt heads often and that's probably because we're a lot alike, but I'm still proud of the person you're becoming.  Thanks for taking care of Gianna today - you're a fantastic big sister!
 

Dear Gianna,

Living Intentionally: The Husband

Ever go through those times where you're just sitting in the middle of your life.
Obviously, it's going on - but at the same time, you feel like you're not participating in it?

Brush your teeth?  Check.
Gym?  Check.
