HAPPY THANKSGIVING

We had a very happy Thanksgiving Day! It would have been even better if Jake could have come from Nashville and Betsy and her family could have joined us...but we'll all be together for Christmas. The Russells came and Emily helped me so much! Greg even helped yesterday and he and Nick took care of most of the clean up. Emily and Nick brought a challenging 1000 piece Coca Cola puzzle that kept us busy after the clean up. And we played our own version of pictionary with Hannah, Adam and Matthew. And we have plenty of leftovers!

I wish I could have heard Jake playing music yesterday at a special Thanksgiving dinner for homeless people in Nashville. He did it last year too and he really enjoyed it. Betsy and Cam and the boys celebrated with Cam's parents in Federal Way.

So far the only side affect I've noticed from Tarceva is tiredness. But this week has been especially busy with getting the Thanksgiving dinner ready etc. I sure apreciate your prayers concerning that. And we pray that this drug is effectively fighting the cancer cells.

I tried putting on mascara the other day. Oops. I guess I was a little over-confident. My lashes aren't quite long enough. I ended up with a smudgy mess. But it sure was fun!

I pray you are having a good weekend. Isn't it exciting that Christmas is almost here? And it's been snowing so it really puts me in the mood!

Thanks, once again, for your continued love and prayers. Love, Julie
