Halloween ZLB style

I don't think I've ever worked at a job where the employees took Halloween so seriously. Here are just a few pics of my coworkers today. Would you want these people sticking you with needles!?!

And of course there was more food...

I intentionally did not take a picture of one of my bosses who happens to be a size 3X and wore a french maid costume. Enough said.

Dad update 10-28-08

Well, we spent several hours waiting yesterday just to hear the doctor tell us we have to wait more. Dad's platelet count is still too low to even consider more treatment. This means another MRI and more blood work in the next couple weeks. The doctor wants to try a different type of chemo when Dad's body finally recovers from the last round. It would be administered by IV and take about 3 hours. The doctor hopes that Dad's body will react better to this drug than the previous type if Dad chooses to continue treatment.
Overall Dad is feeling pretty good. He has moments of weakness and lightheadedness, but he is staying up all day and eating well so we're thankful for that. Please keep praying!

Happy Birthdays!

Well, it's a day late, but Happy Birthday to Mom and Debby (Josh's youngest sister)!
Mom and Dad got home from AZ last night with just enough time left in the day to celebrate. We ate dinner, opened presents, and had ice cream cake. YUM!!

Balloon in the East Mountains!

What a rare sight to see a hot air balloon in the east mountain area! After this balloon landed, Titus and I rode over to watch them deflate and pack up. Titus was not sure what to think, but he didn't bark at all (like all the other dogs in the neighborhood). We got to meet the pilot and crew and spent quite a while talking to them. Evidently, this pilot is trying to get the next level of his certification and will need some passengers that are willing to fly for free. Maybe we'll get to go up with him sometime! If nothing else, he says he'll be flying out here a few more times this fall. What fun!

We're having...

another nephew!! Beth (Josh's sister) and her husband David are also having a boy. Beth and Kristi are due just a few days apart, so I'm sure those boys will have much fun as they grow up. Congrats to Beth and David- we look forward to meeting Jackson Alexander!!

First snow of the season!

Yep, it's snowing right now. It's wet snow, but it's sticking to the grass. I'm not ready for winter!! Titus, however, jumped right in.

We're having a...

NEPHEW!!! Josh's brother and his wife (Jon and Kristi) found out that they're having a boy today. Kristi isn't due until February but we're very excited to meet Benjamin Cole. Congratulations, Jon and Kristi!
