Rain, Rain

Bella's 2009 school picture

It is raining and raining today! We were going to go to the drive-in tonight, but it may have to wait until tomorrow night (Bella doesn't have school Monday.) The rain did pause long enough for her to have her first softball game. She did sooooo....good!!! :)

It had been awhile since I posted on here, so I thought that I would catch everyone up. I have not had a good day today AT ALL!! Rob was told that he was going to a class in San Angelo (my hometown) for three weeks in April, so we bought plane tickets to go. Today, eight days before we are to leave, they tell him that he is not going. Someone did not do their job, and the paperwork did not get turned in on time. So.......he is going to take leave and come 6 days after the kids and I leave. Therefore, I am going to be on an airplane alone with the kids - Parker is my main concern. He is sucha a handfull! it seems like the marine corp has become very good at letting us down. Also, I got a phone call that they found cancer in my grandmother's lung, neck, chest, and pancreas. Without treatment, she has 6 months to live. With treatment, she has 1-2 years. Chemo is so harsh though, I don't know if she will make it thru that. I hate that I am not there to help her and be close to her during this time. I don't like the idea of her being in pain during her last months of life, but then again, I am not ready for her to die either. i plan to spend as much time with her on my trip home as I can. This may be the last time that I get to be with her.

On a happier note, Bella has started softball and is loving it. She has her first game tomorrow, and I will post pics soon. Parker had an easter egg hunt this past Tuesday, and he was so funny to watch! i can't wait for the whole family to see him and Bella hunting eggs!

Please keep my family in your prayers these next few weeks, and I will try to be better at posting more frequent updates!
