We are back from Houston. We got back to Crowville at 1 am. We didn't get the news we wanted, but the doctor doesn't seemed to be too worried. The spot that showed up last month is still there, and showed up a little more. It increased from 3.7 in SUV to 4.4 in SUV. The increase isn't enough to say that it has changed. However, a spot in the lung also showed up. The radiologist that read the report seems to think it is an infection, not cancer. He has to go back in a month for a chest x-ray. His dr said if he had any symptoms to call him immediately. He said it was still too early to biopsy and run the risk of blowing out his lung, so once again we are playing the wait and see game.

We took Emma Grace to Galveston on Wednesday to see a big “bathtub”, and she had the best time. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe, which is located right across the street from the gulf. Emma Grace wasn't too fond of the elephants that we sat near. She tuned up a few times when they started doing their thing. Other than the elephants, she enjoyed everything else. After eating, we took her out to the beach. I put her feet in the sand, and she didn't know what to think. We then took her to the water. It took a while for the waves to come to us, but she enjoyed it. Once she figured out she could kick her feet and splash, she REALLY enjoyed herself. Some of the waves coming in were big. We took lots of pictures. As we were walking to the rocks so I could clean my feet off, Grammy found two dead jelly fish. They were weird looking. We got a few shells for Emma Grace, and headed back to the car. As we made our way back to Houston, we detoured to Fry's Electronic store. If you have never heard of it, I call it the Wal-Mart of electronics. The store is HUGE. We went to one in Atlanta last year, but this one was neat. It was decorated in NASA stuff, since it is located off the road that takes you to Johnson Space Center. After we left there, we visited Dollar King (not good) and Burlington Coat Factory. We finally got back to the hotel around 10.

Well, this weekend will consist of moving the rest of our stuff. We had the home inspection on Tuesday, and only a few things were found wrong. We offered $500 to the buyer and she took it, so we don't have to fix the things found wrong. They were all minor things, but at least we don't have to worry about them. The guy is coming Saturday to fix the wood around the chimney that was supposed to be fixed when Wes bought the house. I talked to the realtor Thursday, and she said that we will need to change over the utilities, etc as soon as we get back. So it looks like we will be signing the papers on Friday, April 28th.

Tammy and her sister-in-law, Cindy, came Wednesday to the house in Crowville and worked on it. They got A LOT done, and we greatly appreciate it. We were really concerned about how we were going to get everything done, and that helped take a lot off of our mind. We still have a lot to do there, but they got things started. At least, we can stay there once the a/c is fixed. I think Tammy will be back this weekend to help. We still have to move a good bit from Vicksburg, but we will work on that this weekend. Well, it is getting late or should I say it is getting early. Emma Grace is getting her 9 month pictures done this morning at 11, so I better get to sleep. Being gone this past week let us catch up a little on some much needed rest, but it also put us behind in moving, so it looks like some busy and sleepless days/nights ahead. Thank you for all the prayers, and please continue. We appreciate everything that everyone has done for us. We have truly been blessed with such great friends and especially family. Thanks to everyone who has been here the last few weeks. In times like these, we know who we can truly depend on.
