Weekend in St. Louis

Last weekend, we went to St. Louis and had a blast. Evan and Ashley just moved into their apartment (or hotel room as Ross calls it) and Tim & Michele were over visiting Lea. So, we went shopping, hung out, saw Lea's loft (awesome) and broke bread with Shane Klier and Rihanna Something. We are so happy that Evan and Ashley are moving to St. Louis and that Tim & Michele spend all their free time over there. Looking forward to many fun weekends in the metro area. The pictures of the boys faces are in the toy section at Target. I was watching them while Ashley and Holly did a little shopping for power bars and weight loss videos. Evan was watching Luke take a nap in the car. The other pictures are from the Magic House. Two thumbs up! They had an area for 1 to 6 years old where Luke spent the entire time. He cried when Holly made him leave the water section, but he found a new home in the sand box. The boys tested out the static electricity experiment. The girl running the show said they had the perfect hair (I guess they get that from Uncle Bob). Anyway, it was fun and relaxing and much needed.

Dave Bunton

As most of you know, Papaw David has a sarcoma in the back of his stomach and a couple of spots on his lungs. For those of you that don't know, a sarcoma is the dreaded "c" word. The one is his back is right on his nerves and has been causing him a lot of pain and the loss of use of one of his legs. Times have been very tough for him, but he is strong and he is going to beat it. He started radiation treatments this week. He does radiation five days a week for five weeks and then they will do surgery to remove it and the spots on his lungs. These next several weeks are going to be very hard on him and really take their toll. Please pray for him that they will be able to treat him and that he will have a successful recovery and that it won't come back. And for those of you that have already been praying for him and for all the offers of help, thank you very much and may God bless you.
