feb update

We just had a great visit from most of Michelle's family. Her parents came first and helped get ready for the main event: her older sister, younger sister, and our 9 month old niece all came for a week! It was a lot of fun spending time with all of them, especially as we got to know Casey a bit more. The girls really helped out around the house a lot, so it was even a bit of vacation for us too.

Shortly after they left, Michelle started taking the medicine for her fibromyalgia treatment. It's supposed to get worse before it gets better, and as of today it seems like it's getting a bit worse. Of course that's good and bad news. We're thankful that we're on the road to recovery though. Michelle's birthday is tomorrow, but it looks like we'll have a quieter celebration than normal. We're thankful for another year and hopeful for a healthier one this year. Please keep us in your prayers.
