Great News!

For those of you that have been wondering about my dad we have had the most wonderful news. They changed the diagnosis of his level 2 cancer to level 1. The Oncologists believe it will be highly treatable and he has a 70-80% chance of the cancer being put in remission for 5-8 years. He will start chemo next thursday and will finish in February. 
Just knowing we will have several more years with him has been so wonderful. It helps being so far away more bearable. Thank you or all your thoughts and prayers in our behalf.

Zeb is almost done with this quarter. He has a week and a half until finals. 

Audrey has discovered a love for writing on the walls. That's a fun hobby to experience. :) Her new phrase is "I can't, Mommy!" She is always making us laugh.
Hallie is loving school and still wishes she could go every day. She frequently cries on the days that aren't school days.
Claire is doing well in school and LOVES it. She can almost always be found with a book in her hand. She loves reading and will read to Hallie forever.

Yeah!!!! I am so happy for your family Leah! I love your dad so much, and your mom also, so I'm just super excited for you guys. This prognosis is so wonderful and could even get better with continued fasting and prayers, which I will surely do for him.

I love you Leah!

Love,
Michelle
