Hanging out with the Grandparents

Drew's parents have been traveling back and forth to Houston every other weekend for his dad's Chemo treatment.  I'm sure it's tough for them to be traveling so much, and for Mike to be feeling all the affects of chemo, but they sure are troopers!!  On the off weekends when they're in town we have been getting together for dinners or breakfasts to soak up time with them.  One weekend they were in town we all went to my parents house for dinner and hanging out.  Had a great time... 
Pierson driving around on his tractor...





Then driving the Kubota around with Pops



Playing with Mimi...





And playing with Papa



And showing YoYo the cell phone he's playing with

And he's one of the big boys!

Update on Mike:  He has completed 4 rounds of chemo... each time getting it for 3 days straight and then almost 2 weeks off.  He usually gets pretty sick starting the first day of chemo through that first week... he's got a great attitude though and is doing awesome!! He amazes me!  They did a scan the other week and the cancer has already shrunk 60%!!!  Praise the Lord!!!  Today he left for Houston and will be down there for for 7 weeks straight...  This first week is a week full of tests and scans! Then next week he starts chemo AND radiation treatments 5 days a week.  I'm sure it's going to be a rough 6 weeks so all the prayers are definitely welcome and appreciated!!!

Megan and Drew,
We will def keep Mike and the rest of your family in our prayers. It is wonderful news that the treatment has been so effective. Let us know if you need anything. We would be happy to watch Pierson if you need to get out and about without him.
Loves!
Malinda & John
