This and That

Update:
Grant's chin is healing quite nicely. He took out the stitches a week ago without any problems and is looking quite good. It is a little hard to tell since he still has the beard.....but I really don't think he'll have much of a scar! Pretty amazing, if you ask me.

In other news, Grant's parents will be arriving very late tonight for their Thanksgiving visit. They'll be here for two weeks. We haven't seen them since Christmas, and the kids have changed so much since then. Corban has been counting down the days for several weeks now and is bummed that they'll arrive long after he's asleep. We're looking forward to a great visit and lots of fun activities. Hopefully it won't be too cold....it's hovering in the upper 40s/low 50s for highs during the day, which is a bit limiting in outdoor fun for the kids.
We're planning a trip to nearby Jamestown on Friday, but it is supposed to be pretty chilly and a lot of the fun stuff (Indian village, ships to explore, etc) is outside. So we'll see how that all works out.

My friend Ellen had her 5th baby last week, by emergency C-section. It's a complicated story, but God was watching over her and little Daniel in a miraculous way that stunned even the doctors. I love seeing the hand of God move. They're doing well and are home...I got to spend an hour with her on Saturday and held Daniel the whole time. He is just darling, a perfect precious baby. I'm looking forward to seeing what special plans God has for his life.

That's about it for now, I've got hungry kiddos and a crying baby.

Peace.
