the girls are home...

We all went to pick up the girls yesterday from camp, it was exciting. They were very happy to see us, but they had a great time!! I knew they would, but still, I was a little worried...

They had many stories to tell: Kaidan did Irish dances for everyone, she asked a couple of boys if they wanted to dance (and they did), Preslee got an award for being the most organized, they met new friends, the food was weird (hot dogs IN the macaroni), it rained every day, they weren't scared or homesick, Preslee won a poster for answering a turkey call (??), they want to go next year, and so on and so on.

I think it was a great experience for them both. Kaidan looked like a whole new girl when we got there, all grown up. Preslee was watching for us and she ran to us and gave us HUGE hugs, but we had to find Kaidan...what???...I was quite surprised, to say the least.

Preslee caught a cold while she was there, but she seemed okay. Then, she woke up this morning with a fever of 102.4. Let's hope Kaidan doesn't get that. Kaidan is absolutely EXHAUSTED, but otherwise doing great. Cash is good, and Porter has a runny nose and, of course, he's tugging on his ears...poor boy! ( and poor me:) )

I think I'll try to get Kaidan's nurse to come out on Monday to do labs, I'll update again after that.

As always, thank you all so much for your continued support and love. Please add a little girl named Sadie to your thoughts and prayers. Nate grew up with her mom, and he talks to her uncle almost daily because of work. Sadie has an incurable brain tumor and decided several weeks ago to stop the chemotherapy that was slowing it's progression. She is now nearing the end of her battle and our hearts just ache for their entire family...
