day +39...the going ons

The big going on this weekend I'm happy to say is that Wyatt is potty trained...he is in his big boy underwear all day long and hasn't had an accident yet. He's quite funny and just a crack up with this commentary on going potty. But, we are so proud of our big boy...no more diapers! We are so excited...although it does mean to a degree that we officially have left the baby department at our house. As I said to Jason as we walked by the baby section in Tar.get today...guess we don't frequent that section anymore. Weird, but exciting to start another season with our little/big ones.

This past weekend was a little crazy and the start of this week is following that lead. Our house is still under repair as we are getting our plumbing problem taken care of...we are hopeful that maybe tomorrow night we'll be back at home. We'll see. Nothing in the home repair area is ever quick or easy, so we'll wait and see.

Camryn and Wyatt have enjoyed being at Papa and Grandma Wilson's house, but they are getting quite antsy to be home. Such little homebodies they are...they miss their rooms, beds, toys, things. It's especially hard for Camryn as she was just starting to really settle in at home and now to be uprooted again is rough on her. Things affect her much more deeply now, so she is very anxious to get home! But, we are very thankful for having a home to crash in for a few days.

On Saturday me and the kids headed over to Grandpa & Grandma Mikels' house to visit with Jason's grandparents who are visiting from Illinois. We so look forward to them coming and visiting us, and this year we were very thrilled that Camryn is home and able to visit with them. Grandpa & Grandma Blake are probably two of Camryn's biggest supporters, they keep a countdown calendar of what day she is at and call Jason's mom weekly for their update. Camryn loved visiting with them so much she even at one point told me to go into the other room so she could be with G&G by herself. She chatted, played and just enjoyed their company. Wyatt had fun too, although Wy really didn't remember them too well it didn't take long for him to warm up. In no time Wyatt was on the floor with Grandpa building a train track and playing trains...and then he was helping Grandpa sweep the back patio. What a lovely day we had enjoying family.

Sunday was a lazy day of just hanging out...nothing much to do as we just tried to stay indoors and keep cool. In the evening we went outside for a little evening fun...summer evenings are my favorite, it was a beautiful night.

All in all we've had a nice weekend and hopeful for a nice week. Tomorrow Camryn and I will head to clinic for a level check and see our favorite doctors and nurses. Hoping her strong levels are continuing!

On another note I'd like to share a prayer request with you for a little baby girl who in now fighting a leukemia relapse. We met this family through blog world, but I did get a wonderful opportunity to meet them face to face. Please pray for their little one as she undergoes an intense round of chemo to get her to remission and then transplant. Obviously they are very close to our hearts as they are walking a road no one ever should.

Thank you our faithful prayer friends, we appreciate the countless acts of love you have shown us. Thanks for your encouragement as we walk this road...

Here's looking forward to many more day +'s!
