I don't think I had mentioned the other big surprise in our family...
ERIN is pregnant too! She'd due Dec 8. Totally unexpected for her and she was almost 3 months by the time she found out as her cycle is always sporadic anyway. The big wrench is that Chick Fil A is hoping to open a new store nearby in Nov, her boss is poised to take that store and she's applying to take over her store. Well, with a Dec 8 due date, that might not be easy with a Nov opening. However, there's a good chance the opening won't happen until spring in which case she would be good. It's definitely taking her some time to get used to the whole baby thing. All of that on top of the fact that she wasn't sure she wanted kids to begin with - Kaylin was God disagreeing with her though she's happy about it now - and that she didn't want more than one because of the questions of Brendan's health. I think she's starting to come around and I know she'll be happy by the time the baby comes, but it's been a tough adjustment for her. Her store's buisness consultant, who will also have a big voice in Erin's store application, seems to be behind her regardless and has talked to Erin about all of the stuff she wants her to be working on in preparation for the application so hopefully it will all go smoothly.
Also, I don't remember if I ever updated about my Dad. There are two spots of cancer in the prostate, but from the way it looks they're sure it hasn't gone elsewhere. He's been in the whole debate about how to handle it and I think he's settles on the surgery. He did work out his return mission trip to Ukraine in June so he'll do the surgery after he returns July 5. The whole "self-employed thus doesn't get paid if he doesn't work" thing has them a little worried on the money side, but faithful that it will all work out. My grandma is already giving him the equivalent of his missed work as her contribution to the mission trip so it will just be the surgery recovery weeks that will be the tough ones. Thanks for your continued prayers everyone!
congrats to Erin, good news about your dad. I hope the surgery goes well.
