We are so blessed and honored to have had Tom's brother, Terry and his wife, Joyce, and their two youngest girls, Leah and Cherith with us on Thursday and Friday.
When you have family like ours it's always fun to get together. They live about an hour south of Chicago and were on their way (out of the way) to their nephew's wedding in Michigan. Leah and Cherith were able to spend the day Wednesday at Cedar Point and then head to Akron for Leah to buy a car on Thursday morning! What an awesome vacation in O-H-I-O and to get to see Uncle Tom and Aunt Lisa too! Sweet...
Thank you Joyce for the adorable wreath!
This afternoon my sister took me to have my first ever pedicure! What an amazing treat. It was so special to spend some time together and catch up on life before heading out of town.
After the pedicure I was ready to leave and Kelly said, "Wait, there's more!" and we had manicures too! Wow! I am spoiled.
Fun times together. Tom and I invited Terry and Kelly over for "a trip through our refrigerator to clean up the leftovers" for dinner. With leaving for Florida tomorrow we needed help to eat all the food! It was a great night and our refrigerator is clean! Our night ended with an amazing round of Hand & Foot. The boys beat the girls by a smidgen...Boys = 11,965 vs Girls = 11,910!
Thank you for your continued prayers for us. Tom took his last anti-seizure pill on Thursday! Woo Hoo...eliminating medication is a thrill at our home. Tom is feeling a little better each day and we are so thankful that his appetite is coming back! He continues to be very tired and we pray for strength for our long day Saturday. Please pray for our traveling mercies on Saturday and then for Zac and Sarah to arrive safely on Sunday. We can't begin to tell you how excited we are to have this time with our family. Precious memories will be made and we are so thankful to God for allowing this to happen, for Tom to be feeling well enough to go and for faithful friends and family who have made it all possible! The next time I post it will be from the shores of Florida!

What an amazing family you have, Lisa and Tom. And Lisa, I love your pictures...they are always so interesting and fun to see. We will continue to pray and especially for travel for today. So glad Tom's appetite is returning and he will be able to be free of meds on vacation. Praying you will have a wonderful and restful time. Thank you again for posting...I always look forward to opening up your blog. Love to you all.
Hope you have a great time in Florida and get lots of rest.
