The Latest

First of all, I want to apologize for not updating this blog. Course, there may not be anybody reading it anyway. But, it's good therapy for me.

It's been a busy fall for my family. Golf season for Allison has wrapped up. The Fairfield Girls won their first ever...anything really. They won the NECC Conference Tourney. It was about time these girls got some "hardware" for their hard work and accomplishments. Allison was one of four Fairfield girls to receive All-Conference. She was actually third over all in the tournament.

Tyler has his last 8th grade football game tomorrow night at Central Noble. They've had some tough games and a couple really good games. I am really proud of Ty for how hard he's worked and how I've never really seen him get down about losing a game. We usually talk about things he can work on and he seems to focus on getting better and contributing to the team.

Timothy had his last PFL game this past Saturday. They won to finish the season undefeated. In the last game he actually scored a touchdown! He was absolutely thrilled. Tim has really gotten into football and had moments where he surprised me at his aggressiveness. That makes a Dad proud!

Now for the latest on Allison and her treatments. The time is coming really fast! Allison begins the treatments on November 17th at MPRI in Bloomington. Thus begins six weeks! I know she is anxious about starting and getting it over with so she can go on with her life. Cindy and I know that she is strong and that our Heavenly Father is definitely with her. But, the pain you feel when your child is going through something like this can be overwhelming. We are so proud of her, not necessarily for what she's done, but how she's done it. She has not been shy on sharing her faith and we couldn't be anymore proud of her for that alone. Please keep her in your prayers.

Also, don't forget her brothers. It will be a tough time not having Mom and Sis at home with us. It's not something I'm not looking forward to either. We like to be home together and especially during the Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years holiday season. It will be a learning and growing experience for all of us.
