We made the trek to Arkansas Friday to see Sheryl's brother, David. He's still in really bad shape. Along the way we got to stay in Jackson with our friends Jeff, Melissa, Bailey, and Meg. The girls had a blast with them and we stayed up laughing with Jeff and Melissa.

Once we actually got to Arkansas, we met family. Four of the 8 kids in Sheryl's family are here. It's fun seeing them. Kevin, Billy and Cindy (and Haley and Chelsea) all drove up from the Houston area and we're all here in Cherokee Village, AR. We took up a whole row this morning at church and afterwards had some pretty good catfish.

I am always reminded what a great family Sheryl comes from after being with them. We are blessed to both have a heritage of love to pass on to our children. Hope you're all doing well out there in Blog world. Thanks for your continued prayers for David.

Glad to hear the weekend went well. I hope Sheryl and all her siblings got to have some good times together. Ican't imagine what it would be like to think my sister was dying...I'm glad she has you and such a supportive family. We missed you guys this morning. The creek just isn't quite the same when you're not there

8 children in Sheryl's family. That's unbelievable. I'm an only child. That many siblings simply blows me away.
