Rachel and Mom playing puppets:

My dad has been taking the boys to an afternoon karate class for the month of October (flash deal).  The boys have loved it (the instructors were excellent), and it was so nice to have my dad here to take them (so I could rest):

Pearl snuggles up with friends:

A new toilet in da house… one that hopefully won’t leak down into our dining room!

Yeah, it’s a little sad that we get excited about a new potty.

Mom and Sarah in their cute hats:

Time for my partial epidural injection… Fun!  Right??? 

It took a while for the injection to start working… my back pain shifted to sciatica down my right leg.  It felt like my leg was on. fire!  for 10 days! 

I’ve never truly enjoyed ice packs, but frozen peas were my leg’s 24/7 companion:

I’m still fighting this disc bulge… please continue to pray for guidance for us?  It has been a tough season. Hopefully it will be over soon.  God is faithful!
