Prayer Request
The joy of Sesame Street.
This is my wonderful long time friend, Melissa (in the background). This is her 5 year old daughter, Reese. She just found out last Friday that she has epyndemoma. A type of cancer that attacks the central nervous system. The cancer is not rare but Reese' presentation of it is extremely rare. The doctors are completely shocked that she is even walking because they've never seen a case where the child seems unaffected by it (other than the headaches and backaches she was having). She shouldn't be walking or talking like she does. They are in the middle of making a treatment plan (chemo v radiation) and deciding where she'll have treatment (CHKD v St Jude v Harvard). It all depends on what the doctors decide. Her pathology reports have been sent all over to world renowned doctors to make these decisions. Please pray for healing, peace and patience for all of them. They are all determined to fight this and see the good come out of it. She has her shunt put in tomorrow and then travels to DC to meet with a doctor on Tuesday. It's hard to imagine but I already see great things God has planned for these people.

Great Strides
Hello! To the few of you who are not on Facebook, I am raising money for a cause dear to my heart, Cystic Fibrosis. You can follow the link below to my page that explains who I'm walking and raising funds for. Her name is Tricia and she's my very special friend. Thank you for anything you can do!

Surfing for Autism
http://www.easternsurf.com/test/videos/surfing4autism.html
Here is a video of the Surfing for Autism event here on the OBX. Brad was involved. You'll notice him riding a wave with a little boy. He had 3 children that day that he taught. It was neat to watch. Ellie was able to get involved too by getting on the board with a little boy and showing him it was ok to surf. Enjoy. Just click on the video after you open the link.

Some recent random shots.
This is how they entertained themselves during Spring Break. Some masked wrestling in the yard and we also piggysat their class guinea pigs.
Jackson & Shiny
Ellie & Butterball
They were great caretakers and gave the pigs LOTS of love (and celery).
Coquina Beach (our personal fav). We drive on most Sundays after church and spend the day. It's gorgeous. The kids love it and so do we. Jackson found a very cool shell.
Then, after swimming in the freezing water it was time for some sunny Mommy snuggling.

OBX Beached Whale
Snowy day in OBX

Jackson, the fisherman.
The avid fisherman.
He's been fishing for about year now without a hook. At Christmas he graduated to a lure with hook. It's been evident that he loves the sport because he continues to go for it with never having caught a thing. He'll cast for hours over and over again. I'm always amazed at the patience he has for being a five year old boy. I just hope that the day he does catch a fish that he doesn't fall into the water over the sheer shock of it! What a day that will be!
