It was such a blessing having Courtney here for an entire week. She made dinner every night,
did laundry with the boys' help, cleaned the house, and just generally kept everyone
entertained! But most importantly, she kept me from doing much of anything
during that week as I recovered. We loved having her here! 💗
I was feeling really well post-surgery, so we made a trip to Rachel's house, not only for
a visit, but to also celebrate Courtney's birthday!
So glad these two sisters were able to spend more time together! 💗
Courtney wanted to do something special with just Isaac and Joshua, and she
offered to take them to the Nebraska vs. Illinois basketball game at the
Pinnacle Bank Arena!
These boys LOVE basketball, so they jumped at the chance!
Both teams were not very good, and Nebraska ultimately lost, but the experience
was wonderful. Lots of fun pictures - ENJOY!!!
What a fun evening! Thank you, Courtney!!!!
I was diagnosed with breast cancer in the late Fall, and a lumpectomy was scheduled for
early January. Courtney immediately decided she wanted to be here for my surgery. I
didn't want her to feel obligated because I know she has a very busy life, but I'm
sure glad she came! She was a HUGE help to all of us!
We met Rachel's family (minus David who was working) after church on Sunday.
Of course we went to Valentino's, which is one of Courtney's favorite places!
Joe and Courtney!
Surgery was on Monday, January 9, and I was feeling well enough that
Rachel's family came over for a visit on Wednesday. She and David then made a much needed
trip to Costco and left the children with us.
David had brought me flowers the day before, but we took this photo on the day they all came.
I guess Stanley tumblers are a "thing" these days. I had no idea.....
Anyway, Courtney brought me one, and then I found out that she had already sent
Rachel one for Christmas, which she had kept a secret!
So of course we had to get a picture of the three of us!
When Rachel and David were off doing errands, Courtney got out her Kirsten (America Girl doll)
for Elenna to play with. She was absolutely thrilled when Aunt Courtney told her she
could take it home to play with......very carefully!
