Back down south

Betty is back home!!! She arrived at her home late Saturday evening and will be there for two weeks. My mom, dad, and grandmother are heading to Texas this weekend to visit her, so keep them in your prayers as they make the long drive over there. Kyle and I are actually dog-sitting one of their dogs, Che-che, who is almost 17 years old, and needs some TLC -- and being left alone, haha!! (FYI, Che-che will turn 17 March 26, yea!) The other one, an active five-year-old mutt (that my dad is crazy about -- yes, this is the infamous Puddin'), is staying with a neighbor.

Betty heads back to Chicago in two weeks, March 21, and my mom's other sister is going there with her. She'll be up there until the 26th for scans and chemo, which will continue every three weeks (but, I believe, possibly not in Chicago after this round). We should know on this next trip how well the past weeks of chemo and radiation have gone. We believe it's helped, and we believe that God will provide a miracle for Betty and for our family.

And, to brighten up this post, pics of everyone (plus some) mentioned!!!
