I feel pretty lame that I haven't blogged in so long. But...I'm moving on and I'm just going to do what I can these days. We've hit a new level with Baby C becoming mobile--she is crawling everywhere, climbing the stairs, and cruising. Gone are the days where she would sit contentedly and watch her brothers play! This girl's gotta move. She turned 1 on Saturday and I'm still in disbelief. Where did the year go?! We just had a small family party and ate pink cupcakes. Yum. :)
I'm trying to remember the last month...oh, yes.
Bryan went to the ER the end of March with a severe sore throat. (I know, it sounds lame, but the man couldn't swallow...it wasn't like our last ER visit the day G came home from the hospital. That's a whole different post.) While we were there, they ran several tests including a CT scan which revealed a large lump on his thyroid. Our family doc sent him on to a specialist who wanted to do a biopsy. We had the biopsy the end of April and the doctor called us THE NEXT DAY with the results. (Getting a call immediately after a biopsy is never a good sign...) SO. We went into the office and basically they couldn't tell from the biopsy if the tumor was cancer, so they wanted to take a closer look. (Open him up and get it out.) I called Tootie, the brilliant oncology nurse, who said, "Oh, Boone. If you're going to get cancer, thyroid cancer is the best kind to get!!" She almost sounded excited about it. :) ha!!! We really felt God's hand on us--both of us were really at peace. It was good.
Bryan had the surgery May 6 and they removed 1/2 of his thyroid. Tests came back: NO CANCER! Praise God. He is a little less lumpy these days. :)
Nana came to visit and help us during the week of the surgery. She was such a blessing!
I guess I've also been busy selling jewelry, and I've been recruited to teach G-Money's Sunday school class. BUT...I'm going to make this blog more of a priority this month.
Watch out--the sistas are coming. I'm going to have 6 kids (sometimes 8) under the age of 4 in this house. Hubby is leaving town--can you blame him?!
Pictures to come...

Can't believe you went through all that with Bryan and we didn't know to pray. (This is not to produce guilt, this is to say we love you and would want to pray) HOW SCARY!!! So thankful all is well.
FUnny that your sistas are coming during GA. M. Eubanks is coming to visit me while the husbands are away. Tee Hee.
MIss you!!!
Oh, Erika!!! I had no idea! I'm so sorry Bryan had to go through all of those procedures (and I know it was hard for you to watch him go through that, and waiting for the results). We are rejoicing with you, though, knowing that everything is okay now! YAY!
Hope you enjoy your time with your sisters! :)
Wow, Erika! Praise God for His peace and calmness for you and Bryan in the midst of all that.
Oh, enjoy your sisters!!! I am LOVING living near mine!(1.5 hours away as opposed to 15 hours!)
And, I can't believe your little girl is already ONE! You blink your eye and the time is gone...
Glad your back blogging, I've missed keeping tabs on y'all.
Oh Erika, how scary. We know all about "the wait" for test results. Praise the Lord all is good. We are a little closer to you these days. Can you tell? (: We will talk soon.
