We had a quick beach trip this week. We went to a small beach on the bay side for the first time. The clear water and small waves made it great for the boys to play. They found snails, crabs, and shells.
Saturday night and Sunday, we had our first Vision Meetings for
StoneLake Church. One of our sponsoring churches, who has many attenders from Lakeside, brought us in to briefly explain the vision of the church after each of their services to anyone who was interested in helping. God has blessed us with 24 new members for our launch team. That was huge growth....from five to 29!! We are praising God for the added people, as well as the added excitement and enthusiasm that new people bring. We are planning our first event for December 6th and our first service for Christmas Eve.
And....tomorrow we leave for the biggest, coolest, most amazing trip of our family's lives. It is our long awaited Make-a-Wish trip. A limo will be picking us up at 5:00 in the morning, and we will fly out to Florida. We will spend 6 days doing all things Disney. We will update you and post some pictures during the week.
This past week marked one year since Carson's final chemo treatment. The testing and surgeries weren't over for 6 more months...but the chemo was finished. God has brought us through so many trials and hurts over the past several years...and through it all there have been even more amazing moments of seeing His hand at work in each situation. We are so blessed, and continue to be blessed. Thank you God for you grace.
Today we went to Disney Hollywood Studios, then a quick trip over the Animal Kingdom for the bird show, and then back to the Magic Kingdom for a last stop at a couple of favorites.
We made it to the airport, on the plane, changed planes in Denver, and then to Orlando all with no problems. Corban slept for a while on the second flight. He even used the potty on the plane!
We are staying at Give Kids the World Village. An amazing place just for Wish Kids and their families. It has a small paid staff, but is run by 1,100 volunteers each week. Today we went to the Magic Kingdom. The boys had so much fun....and Joey and I did too. Their favorite ride was Buzz Lightyear.
And...here is my Wish Kid!

I used some birthday money to get a fun new lens for my camera. It is a 50mm 1.8 for you technical people. I finally got a chance to play with it today. There is an old truck here at the new house that the owners haven't moved yet. So, I put the boys on top of it today for some pics. When I put Corban up there he started screaming. I told him that as soon as he smiled for one picture I would get him down. He made a valiant effort! The last picture shows part of our view. The mountains are so beautiful.
