Sam loved SkeeBall. He would throw the balls as far as he could and then Andy would catch it and roll it up the ramp. Sam thought it was great!

Because You Never Know
We decided to keep the kids home from school today so they could have one last day to run around with their dad because you never know. Even though we feel like everything will be okay we don't really know what to expect after Andy's brain surgery tomorrow. Since they will be operating near the brain stem we are not sure how long it will be before he will be able to be with the kids. So we took the kids down to Wilsonville to the Family Fun Center. The boys went and played Laser Tag together and then we all just hung out in the arcade and let the kids run around with their dad.
Scott was really good at the hunting game. I was impressed at his aim. It must be all that target practice out in the backyard.
Timmy and Matthew found the game with biggest guns. They could barely hold them so of course they thought it was awesome.
Bethany liked the games but was really thrilled when they started spewing out tickets. She was so excited it was like the machine was giving her gold.
After we played we took the kids out to dinner. We came home and Andy had a blessing. During the blessing Matthew started to cry really hard. When it was over I asked if he was okay. Matthew said,"I'm just going to miss him." Andy will be in the ICU for about two days if everything goes well. So the kids won't be able to see him until he is transferred to the recovery floor. I'm hoping for their sake he isn't in the ICU longer. I know they will miss him and this will be very hard for all of us but I also know that the Lord has blessed and guided us in so many ways leading up to this surgery and now it is in His hands. Which I can't think of a better place for it to be.

That was such a good idea to have a family day. Andy is such a good dad and is always playing with your kids. I can see how they will miss that. Hopefully everthing goes well and he will be back to playing with the kids soon :) Good Luck today. We are praying for you guys.
Oh my heck Ellen. I had no idea this was going on. I'm going to call you today. You will for sure be in my prayers now, sounds like your family has been through a lot
