"Normal" Days & Bears

It’s Sunday again and it’s going to be a good week. Sara’s back on her feet and ready to go, and Emrys is the energizer bunny that just keeps going, and going and going. Sara’s hair has started falling out and at the rate its going, will be gone in the next week or so. It’s amazing how many hairs are on our heads!! So far it’s just thinning but as soon as it gets clumpy, Emrys gets to buzz cut it!

This weekend we went for a picnic in town with friends we work with and then wandered the small town carnival. It was great to get out and have a “normal” evening. Sara dug out her scrapbooking this morning and spent a couple hours being crafty. It was a great therapy!

At about 4AM this morning we woke up to the bears. That’s right, the big brown furry kind. They were trying to get into the recycle bins outside of our cabin. Sara tried to get pictures but the screen on the window got on the way. We’ll keep trying.

We are well and are getting ready for High School camp this week. Sara will head back to Durango on Friday for the beginning of the second cycle of chemo and we just pray that the treatments continue to be fine tuned and more bearable. Thanks for the prayers. They continue to sustain us daily.
Much love to you!

hi sara,

think about it this way, at least you can blame it on the chemo and expect it to grow back =O). i've been losing my hair for the past 7 years with no hope of ever growing it back. my brother said that i don't have to take it so calmly and that i have options (rogaine, minoxidil, and implants) but i told him that i was ok with it. it's actually clarissa who is having a harder time with me going bald, in fact i'm ready to make a clean cut but she's hanging on till i'm totally top less. i actually prefer the clean shave, it was rather stimulating just rubbing my fingers over my scalp. it was almost as if more blood was rushing to my scalp to keep it warm. anyways, i've said too much. we love you =O). keep fighting. jon, clarissa, christian, hudson-taylor, harvest

Dear Sara,

I am still with you in fighting through prayers. These days of darkness will be gone and the bright future will come soon. I love you and share with you the pain.
