We enjoyed the weather on Friday and got out to walk the dog and exercise our legs on the Xenos trail.
Friday night was homemade whole wheat vegetable pizza that turned out pretty good. We are all so impressed how well disciplined Tom has been to the special diet...even when he sees his dad eating turtle tracks ice cream each evening. (Someone needs to get it out of the house!)
Our Friday night ended with some rousing games of UNO.
Saturday morning brought whole wheat waffles with fresh fruit for topping. This seems to be one of Tom's favorite breakfast selections. We even got Tom's dad to omit the butter from his waffles! "When in Rome, do as the Romans do."
Pops, Granny, Tom and I were all glad to have Matt come home from college today. He brought his usual hamper of laundry and he is becoming a pro at getting that done without moms help. We appreciate his helpfulness around the house. We all look forward to being in church together tomorrow. It's times like this that we miss Zac and Sarah even more than usual. It's hard to believe the next time that we're all together it will be for Sarah's college graduation on May 14th!
We enjoyed "skyping" today with Tom's brother, Terry & family. What a neat way for us to connect across the miles and be able to see smiling faces too!
After a dinner that didn't get big reviews (portabella mushrooms, quinoa, asparagus & salad)...I'm learning and will know better next time what NOT to do...we enjoyed more UNO and then Matt taught us all how to play a new game, Phase Ten.

Hey Tom,
this is Mark Jones from elementary school. I don't think I've seen you since the fifth grade but I still remember well and treasure our friendship. Your cousin Esther Spencer Begle is a friend from high school and only recently did I discover your family connection to the Spencer kids when I posted an old class picture on Facebook. She told me about your illness.
Several of your old classmates and teachers from Colonial Hills have joined together to pray for you. We're believing God for great things for you and your family. I remember your mom so fondly-she was everybody's mom at school, please tell her hello.
We love you buddy and will keep praying and thanking God for what He's done in your life, and for His peace and healing during your treatments. The greatest thing is that our best days are ahead of us brother!
Love you bro...
Mark
