Almost There...

Well here is a quick update...

We moved to Abbotsford at the end of July and we've had all of one day of rain. We don't know WHAT everybody complains about down here... it never rains - blue blazers everyday! The move was great, Karly got a week of counseling at Camp Firwood which thrilled her to no end and Sam got to Waterski at Albert Dyck Lake (15 min from our house) and ski the course on Tues, Thurs and Sunday nights. It has been a great transition to Abbotsford.

On the second day of the staff prep week (August 29th) Ger took himself to the emergency and later had a ruptured appendix removed. The timing was really quite inconvenient. But the staff at ACS has been super gracious and everything at school seems to be going along, even without Ger there. He's hoping to get back to work on Friday but it has been a slow and painful recovery.

The first week of school for Sam and Karly went great and they are both trying out for volleyball teams and both don't know if they're good enough for the quality of ball. That's a first. But its good too. They have both made some great friends.

Sam's final treatment day of Chemotherapy, after 3 and a half long years, is September 17th. We're planning a party on that day that is for sure. It is also Uncle Mel's birthday so it will be a double celebration.

God is good and has been faithful to us all these years. We continue to pray that all this treatment is Sam's cure and his true conquering of A.L.L.

Thanks for your prayers.
