Good evening.

Well, it has been snowing (and blowing) every day! We are loving it. It is going to be VERY cold the next couple of days, and it isn't even winter yet!! We are hoping this is just a pre-curser to what winter will be like!!

David is all caught up with his school work! Yay!! Praise Jesus. Thank you for the prayers. He said he learned his lesson, and will not put things off or get behind again. He is like his mom, he wanted to just do it all himself! We told him to ask for help if he needs it! Don't go it alone. We told him it is not a sign of weakness to ask for help. So he said he would remember, and ask for help when he needs it. His memory problems still get in his way, and he does struggle with school where he never used to before. It is hard for us to watch him struggle, but he is learning how to rise above the effects of his stupid cancer and treatment. He is such a trooper, and we are so proud of him. Thank you again for all the prayers.

Lucy had her ultrasound this afternoon; it looks like a c-section will not be necessary!! Yay! She is happy about that. She said the baby is 4.6 pounds, has hair, and is doing well. Jeremy was born with a lot of hair, so maybe the baby will take after it's Daddy!! They said the baby is in the 68th percentile, so Lucy thinks there is a good chance the baby will be on the bigger side. Lucy was 10 pounds at birth, Jeremy was 7lbs. 11oz. (my biggest baby). The best news is that the baby is doing well, and Lucy is feeling good. She has less than 9 weeks left!! We are all getting sooooo excited! We can't wait. Thank you for your prayers for Lucy and the baby.

I neglected to say 'thank you' to our church family. They presented us with a Thanksgiving dinner on Sunday. All the fixins! We can't wait to eat it. And I need to say 'thank you' to the Linke family for the Butterball Gift Certificate and the Gift Card. We can't tell you how much we appreciate our friends! Thank you, all of you. Thank you for loving us and being there for us during this horrific time in our lives. You people are the ones who help keep us going. We love you.

Well, Rachel and I have been doing some baking. I love baking with my daughters. We have made some cookies and fudge. We will be doing more baking when it is Christmas time, she is working some overtime so she goes to bed early. She is working the overtime to help build back her money after spending so much going to Israel. It was worth it, but she did spend a lot of money to go. Anyway, we have been enjoying baking together. I used to bake with my dad, and I really miss not doing it anymore. That is why I have such a hard time baking pumpkin pies now. Before my dad died, we would make the pies together. I would make the crust, he would make the filling. We had a great time together in the kitchen; and I miss him so much.

Well, that is about it for now. Thank you for all the prayers about Lucy, the baby, and David. David is relieved to finally be done. Thanks for visiting and checking up on David and the Koury Klan. Have a great evening. If I don't get a chance to post tomorrow, have a Happy Thanksgiving! I know we all have much to be thankful for. God bless you all. We love you.
