We had a very nice weekend since it was my weekend off. On Saturday, we went and saw Andy, Mindy, and Brady in Ankeny. They are doing very well and are starting to adjust to the big change in their lives. That night, Heath, Tanya, Devon, and Kade came over after church and had supper with us. Jaxson loved playing with the boys as usual. This morning we went to church. The church service was excellent as always. They had the children’s Christmas program, which was fabulous. Jaxson loved watching it. He sat on my lap the whole time and was quite upset when it was all done. He kept saying "more more." As Jaxson and I were waiting for Brad to come into the church from parking the car, I saw Simon Estes come in. I was so excited because I thought that maybe he would be singing during the service, but he didn’t. I think he was just there to watch the children’s program. What a bummer. This week is going to be a pretty busy one for us. Tomorrow, there is a Christmas party at the hospital, so we are going to go see Santa for the third time. We are also hoping to check out Jolly Holiday Lights. Jaxson enjoyed it last year, but I think he will really get a kick out of it this year. Papa Steve is also coming down tomorrow in preparation for his hip replacement surgery on Tuesday. We are hoping that Nana Cathcart is able to come with tomorrow also. She just called this evening and thinks she might have the stomach flu. Not good timing. We hope that she feels better fast so that she can be with Steve when he goes into surgery. So I’m sure we will be making several trips to the hospital this week to see Papa. I hope everyone has a great week. Try to stay warm!
