| Our nephew enjoying the sweet life |
We love the slower pace of summer and are especially aware this season of what a great sweet spot we are truly in right now. We've had sweet times with family and friends, the kids continue to thrive and everything seems to be just right. Darcy is having a successful babysitting season. Evan is writing us letters from camp. And Nate came back to win a tennis match from down a set and 0-4 in the second. Kind of like Andrew beating cancer, it seems miraculous and inevitable all at the same time! Andrew's cough (and residue in his lungs) persists and he has been on steroids for a few weeks now to reduce the cough. And although the Nationals cannot call Andrew up this season, the steroids do seem to be working. He's thrilled to be back to biking to work in MD, a couple times a week at least, going on longer "forest bathing" hikes, and playing mucho tennis. We'd like to think we didn't need last fall to make us appreciate all we have now. But the reality is we have a brand new perspective right along with AJ's new immune system. Not taking anything for granted and immensely thankful for our many blessings. How sweet it is!
