Jack was ALL about Nana tonight!

Our 3 Goodletts!

Missing this little gal soooo much right now!

Step 2 - Complete

Six hour surgery by a VERY particular doctor and I got to come home late afternoon on Wednesday.

I had heard that my doctor could take a very long time getting it just right so I warned Terry if he didn't hear anything for a while not to worry. .  . after 5 1/2 hours he was beginning to worry.  

I've seen "God-stops all along the way and when I was wheeled into surgery my Nurse Anesthetist was Marshall's high school friend's wife - Jillian Moore.  We caught up as I was drifting off to sleep -- just one of those things to take away my dread of one more time having to go under the knife.

The pain isn't as intense as last time - though I do need the meds.

Healing is supposed to happen more smoothly -- so for now - I'm reading and taking it easy.

Happy Spring Break!

Step 2

Wednesday I have reconstruction surgery. We're so far from where we were this time last year!
I am still humbled by those who wear the "Joy for Jan" blue bands.
Terry continues to wear his each and every day and this week my principal showed me that he is continuing to wear his with most of the letters faded.  My friend Sherry is wearing her's at Disney World this week ---several in our Church family are still wearing theirs as well.

My dear friend Marinelle is coming out of retirement and driving 2 hours to be able to take my classes for 3 days.  I am SOOOO BLESSED!

God IS and HAS BEEN my strength in all of this.  I don't have to be afraid - he's guiding this process!  I love that passage in Isaiah 49 - which reminds me I'm engraved on the palms of His hands - not because I'm so wonderful - but b/c HE is LOVE.

Prayers now, please for a teacher friend, Lisa, fighting the battle I fought last year with the treatment regimen.

It's time to post my favorite pics before they get lost in the huge collection on my phone and my computer

Jack faces each new challenge with a grin and a giggle -

We got to take the girls to Shrek: The Musical at OHS.  We had dinner at their favorite chincese restaurant and then on to the play.

The girls were all caught up in it -- though
Sydney did fall asleep in the second half

Campbell has been accepted to Metro Christian next year as a kindergartener.   Her response, "All my hard work paid off!"

These 3 spend so much time outide. Momma says that and letting Jack  brush his teeth 5 times a day is the only way she can keep his glasses on him.

Sitting pretty at 6 months old this morning!
