THANKSGIVING

I had a great Thanksgiving at my sister's house as well as attending my nieces wedding. Along with my sister Barb and her husband Dean, my other sister Kim and her husband Jim were able to be there, along with my parents. We just got home Sunday night, and it will take a little time to covert the photos, but I'll have plenty of time this week to clean them up and post them.
We saw a serious car accident that added an additional 1/2 hour to the trip. The one car was either ripped in two or pancaked to half it's size. Very thankful for the safe trip home.

BROWNS GAME

This was the opening ceremonies performed by the Marine Corps, who also did the half time show.

If you watch ESPN pre-game show, you know who Stewart Scott, Matt Millen and Steve Young are. That's them under the umbrella doing their broadcast.

MORE TO COME...

It's been busy lately. I have some pictures I want to put up, but need to clean them up a bit. Liz, Will and I had a good time at the Brown's game, though it got pretty cold and the team stinks. It's a whole lot different experience than sitting at home and watching it.

Also, Sean had a pretty good report this past Monday. His O2 is still in the high 80's, and he is now off of Viagra...and since I didn't need it, we threw the bottle away. Now if I could only get those same type of commercials off the air, I could get Will off my back-he is definitely a teenager now.

HAPPY 13th BIRTHDAY WILL

SECTION 350

If you watch Monday Night Football this coming week...I'm sorry...it's the Cleveland Browns playing. But, if you watch carefully enough, in section 350, you might see Liz, Will and I. I read an article that said the Browns may have a blackout in the area since they haven't sold out the game. So I got on StubHub and was able to buy $13 tickets that aren't too bad. Now, we're just not sure who to root for.

ADOPTION SUNDAY

Did you know today is National Adoption Sunday? I didn't either until I heard a radio broadcast the other day. Actually, the whole month of November is an adoption focus month. My local library had a kiosk of books promoting and explaining things about adoption, which was nice to see.

For some of you, you'll remember I went to Cambodia two different times a few years ago, with a minstry called Asia's Hope. Recently, the director posted a few thoughts on the ministries website, and I think his thoughts should be echoed here. Though I think more people should adopt, at minimum I think they should actively be involved somehow with the care of orphans, and this ministry does that. I hope the article I'm posting will challenge you and lead you to pray and think about how you can help the orphan around the world.

88...

...or 89 was Sean's O2 reading today. Dr. Lane said we can limit his O2 to naps and bedtime. His pleural effusion is also completely gone. That's great. According to Dawn, Dr. Lane seemed pretty excited about Sean's recovery, to the point he told Dawn and wanted to go talk to the surgeon right away. I think Dr. Lane was always confident that Sean's recovery would be what it turned out to be, but I am wondering if the surgeons were a little more skeptical. In either case, it's good news and we know God has been the one to ultimately heal Sean.
