Medicine and Machine Guns

Its been an interesting few days for us. Kris went to the doctor Friday and finally fessed up as to how serious her health problems are. The doctor prescribed a very powerful drug for her arthritis. The good news is that if it doesn't kill her it should make her feel a lot better. We are looking forward to that. And we are sooo thankful to God that this is not an expensive medicine. The bad news is that it will (and is) make her feel worse before it makes her feel better. So she is having a rough few days physically.

Last April I told you about a visit from an old friend. Well Charles stopped by again this weekend. It was great to see him. I know he is a busy man with a very important job, but he took the time to hang out with us and he even arranged for the boys to get to see some way cool stuff at the Marine facility here in town.

I must say that all the marines there were very friendly and went out of their way to make a couple of little boys day something they will never forget. I mean, what little boy would not like to play with a machine gun?

Seriously, if Lt. Col. Sides and his marines typify the folks protecting our nation then we are in fantastic hands. Thanks to all you who are serving. And thanks to the marines here in Waco who made two little blond boys way happy. And to be honest, their dad got a big kick out of it too, especially the night vision goggles. Thanks!
