Busyness and other things

The past month has been crazy! My mom had a knee replacement so Lauren, the baby,  and I went out to Branson to help her for a few weeks. While we were gone Paul got an emergency foster care care placement for a few days. Thankfully everything turned out really well and he is back home with his mom. Amazed at my husband for taking care of a three year old little boy by himself for three days! No that I doubted his ability, it's just that most husbands wouldn't volunteer to do it! Anyway, things are finally calming down a bit and we are trying to get back into our school routine. I have a prayer request for you: While we were in Branson we found out that my nine month old niece has been diagnosed with a rare cancer called rahbdomyo sarcoma. She is going to be undergoing chemo and radiation soon. She has a lot of extenuating circumstances that would take too long to go into, but needless to say she has had a tough go of it since she was born and now she is dealing with this. Please just lift her up in your prayers.  Her name is Ellie.
