It's the day before Halloween. Two days till Thanksmas. I have daydreamed about these holidays minimally this year. It's great, don't get me wrong, I just haven't had a lot of time thinking about it. Too. Busy.
Tomorrow night I intend to dress up and take these great kids trick or treating, which will hopefully get me into the swing of the most wonderful season of all!
If not, it may take some extreme measures to blow the doors off this apathy.

Tre: Mom, Robin Hood says the "t" word.
Me: What?
Tre: The "t" word, it says it all over it. All over Robin Hood.
Me: What "t" word?
Tre: The "T-I..."
Me: Spell all of it.
Tre: T-I-D-E
Wow.

My little brother, T.R., was diagnosed with oral cancer eight days ago. It's the strangest thing. He doesn't fit any statiscal eligibility except for being male. It should be a mistake. It should have been a canker sore.
There is a lot I want to say, but I am incredibly emotional about the whole ordeal. It's best if I shield you from that... But we do need your prayers. T.R. needs your prayers. If you would write his name in the corner of your checkbook register, or on the welcome page of your phone, or on the coloring page on your fridge, maybe you will remember to ask God in His infinite mercy to heal my brother. His life depends on it.
Specifically, we are asking for healing for him, wisdom for Mel as she supports him in all of this, and money to come in like a flood. They are not insured and have a young family. He has an appointment on Tuesday, so you can also pray that the doctors are baffled as they find him completely healthy!
You are my friends, and I am thankful to be able to entrust you with this.

Dale planned a walk on the trails and a final family picnic with the little girls while the rest of us finished school this morning.
The picnic tables are 1.5 miles from the starting point of the trail, so the big kids rode bikes and skates.
I have to tell you, I loved it. This girl almost never volunteers an idea that involves being outside. It's just not my thing... But I do try to have a cheerful attitude when I know I have to be a part of it. Today proved that, that pays off sometimes. Besides, I burned 300 calories with the deal!
I hope you are enjoying these incredible fall days!
