Good evening.

I hope you all had a great weekend. Our was quite busy!! We all had Friday off; Bryon works 4/10s so Friday was his day off, Jennifer and Rachel had their furlough day, and Emilee didn't come so I was off. So we were busy preparing for Lucy's baby shower. We did some shopping, not much, though. We did early voting (glad that's over, and we did our civic duty), and then we went and got our flu shots. They were free, yay!! Then my girls and I did a little bit more shopping, for baby gifts, while Bryon shampooed the carpet in the living room and the (stay with me here) room that used to be the formal dining room but is now the "therapy" room where the treadmill and total trainer are for David to to his PT. I hope I didn't lose anyone there!! Anyway, Bryon worked really hard getting those rooms shampooed. Then he ran out of shampoo, so he had to run to Walmart to get some more. We were up late making sure everything was done. Oh, Rachel sliced the apples and had them ready for the apple pie I needed to make. She put the slices in the fridge to wait for me to make the pie Saturday morning. Then we went to bed. We got up Saturday morning and I made the soup for the shower and put it in the crock pot. Then I put the apple pie in the oven and Rachel and I ran to Walmart; we forgot to get wrapping paper on Friday. When we got home Bryon was vacuuming the freshly-shampooed carpets. Then I mopped the family room floor, and the kitchen and dining room floors. Then Berlynn went into the living room and decided to throw up on the nice clean carpet!! Rachel cleaned that up. The dog coudn't throw up outside, or on a hard floor, could she?!?! Of course not! That would just be too easy for us. Grrrrr. But we were all ready when the guests started arriving, and we had a good time. Lucy is due 3 months from today!! Then today we went to church and we made tacos for lunch. It was good. And the weather has been beautiful! It has rained ALL weekend. Well, all of today for sure. It has been super windy (go figure) and we have loved the weather this weekend. It is gorgeous. We do have a bit of a flood in the backyard, but that is ok. It is just hard to get the chihuahua's to go outside to go potty. Berlynn, she loves all weather!! So it has been a busy, fun, and wet weekend.

We also got rid of another kitten on Saturday~~~one more to go!! Kitten #16 (total number of kittens we have had to get rid of) is the last one left, and NEEDS to go. Bryon put them on Craig's List, that's how #15 was taken, so hopefully someone will want the last one. He is a sweet kitty, we just can't keep him. Any takers?

Well, that is about all that is happening around here. Thanks for visiting and checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Have a wonderful day tomorrow. Thank you for your continued prayers for us and for Sara. God bless you all. We love you.

Kristi and the Koury Klan

For the patients' parents, a cancer diagnosis can launch a balancing act between the toughness needed to hold together the family and demand the best medical care, and the gentleness needed to stay collected and positive with the child. The ordeal of treatments creates a bond among families who go through the experience.
