So...........a lot can happen in a couple of months! Besides getting Chad and Charissa's Newberg house kitchen remodeled and then SOLD (finally...thank you, God!), we headed off to the midwest.
We had duel purposes. First, we continued our BREAKTHROUGH experience (http://www.heartconnexion.org/). Wow, this has been one of the most meaningful rides we've ever gone on! Talk about impacting! Between the final 2 sessions of Breakthrough, we drove down to TX to see Ed's sister with the "twang" in her voice AND connect with the whole Burns gang as we gathered them from the Houston airport to head to Port Neches, TX near the gulf. (In picture-LtoR Dixie, Nancy, Ed, Patty).
Fun listening to all those siblings talk and laughter. Crazy how you can be raised in the same home and experience your childhood so differently. Nancy felt a little rotten from her Chemo the first couple of days, but perked up as the week went on. She's had cancer that started as stage 4 for a couple of years now, so we are lifting her up in prayer all the time.
Man, those southern ladies DO know how to cook. Ed and I gained about 5 lbs. each! (okay, some of that in the picture is just wind puffing my windbreaker....be nice, now!). Oh well, time to get walkin' again!
We are still enjoying our basement apartment here at my brother's home. He and his wife just headed back to Alaska after about 3 months here in Newberg, so we have the home to ourself for a couple of days. On April 11, our niece and 2 boys will take over the main level as her husband starts getting treatment for a growth on his spine--a lot for a young family to handle! Keep Kim and Jody in your prayers, would 'ya?
There is more to come, but can't tell you yet (no, that's NOT an April fool's joke & NO, I'm not pregnant :)
Love,
Judy (& Edster)
