Surprise

When my radiation treatment was finished on Tuesday, and I went back to the waiting room to hang up my name tag and say good bye to Sister Owen and Sister Marie, I had quite a surprise. Jon and all of the children had sneaked in and were waiting with a cake and some gifts to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary. Everyone in the waiting room sang “Happy Anniversary” to us, and the sisters sang us a lengthy medley of songs asking God’s blessing. It was a special treat and such a sweet surprise. All of us who have radiation around the same time each day get to know one another’s families, so I enjoyed sharing our little celebration with our waiting-room friends.

I learned that at least three of the children had kept this a complete secret for several days. Not even the slightest hint of what was coming. I was one impressed mommy.

Love the pictures! Can't believe how the kids are growing, but I need a close-up to see Gilead :-) We are excited to see God answering prayers and protecting you all. Can't wait to see you!!

What a special surprise. Bravo to your husband and children for planning it. You look radiant Amy. So thankful for those guardian angels that are watching over you and your family during your recent car accidents. Gilead sure has experienced a lot for his young age. Continuing to pray!
