Stepping Back

It's Friday night and it has been a long week. For those of you who do not know, my wife's father is pretty sick so we have spent the week in Hot Springs visiting, helping out and spending time with family. Lots of hours in the hospital and lots of hours together as a family. The latter part is nice. We could go for a better context but sometimes you just have to roll with the punches.

Mid-day we usually take a break and head out to Lake Balboa to get Jozy some exercise. The weather here has been beautiful and Jozy is loving the water. Today was particularly windy and the waves gave her a bit of a scare. After a while she realized she could bite them and they would "go away." It is a great place to go have lunch and just get away for a bit, step back and reflect on the important things. My wife took this picture today and I think it captures the setting and the mood really well.

We are hanging in there. Lots of good progress today and treatment starts in earnest tomorrow. Please keep the family and most importantly, my wife's father in your prayers. Thanks for the support.
