Rolling through 2012

     Its been an extremely busy and eventful few months. We have had our ups and downs. The power of prayer is real and it helps. I suppose I will start with the news that my father has a rare form of cancer and has already been through one very painful procedure to have the tissue removed. We got some bad news in that the tissue that is still there is still cancerous. Dad is still being very brave and putting on a happy face even though I know he is very worried about it. His wonderful friend and neighbor Andy gave him a fridge magnet that has a picture of John Wayne on it. It ways "courage is when your scared as hell and you saddle up anyways" Yup that's Dad alright. He has an appointment with a specialist at Baptist Hospital on the 25th. So prayers for that.. I hope he has all sorts of good options.
     Parker has been doing SO MUCH better in school. He is really enjoying the friends he has made in class and looking forward to being a first grader. This past Friday he had his first T-ball practice and did great. True to form Parker continues his record of being the "doctor" of the group. Anytime someone falls down he is the first one on the scene to help them up and dust them off. He may not be the best hitter or catcher or thrower out there. But Parker can certainly take home the "heart of the team" award.
