Update on Ian

Today the Anna & Jason shared with everyone that they are expecting baby #2 in January. They are trusting in God's timing with the new baby and are excited. Ian will make an awesome big brother.

Unfortunately, Ian's MRI today showed that in the 4 weeks since his brain surgery his tumor has grown back and "is big". They've scheduled another brain surgery for Wednesday unless he shows symptoms of more cranial pressure. Then they will move the surgery up. Chemo will start 7 days after surgery. Obviously it's pretty aggressive, so time is of the essence.

Please add little Ian to your prayer lists. They need all they can get!

Pray for Ian

As a lot of you know, our friends Anna and Jason recently found out their 18 month old son, Ian, had a brain tumor. Last week they got the pathology results back that proved it was a rare aggressive form of cancer. Today they decided to get treatment for him at St. Jude's. They have to be there tomorrow morning at 10am.

Please keep our sweet friends in your prayers. While his brain surgery is thought to have removed all of the tumor, Ian faces 7-8 months of intense chemotherapy. In the meantime, he continues to be one of the friendliest, funniest, happiest kids I've met.

Here's the website if you are interested in reading about little Ian.

Game Night

Our Sunday School class had game night last weekend at the Keebles house! We played some games outside until dark.


Cody, Jeff, and Jeff playing cornhole... never heard of it until about two years ago. It's a bean bag toss for grown-ups! But people around here are pretty serious about it.

Once it was dark, we went inside to play Rock Band on the Wii. I think Daniel is singing Thriller!


As you can see, I didn't show off my inner Rocker, but instead sat in a rocker holding baby Hunter while his mom played. Apparently I was pretty boring because he was out cold and we were sitting next to the speakers!

Reading about Hokie Bird...

My sister-in-law emailed me this picture this morning and I thought I would share! It's Abby reading the Baby Hokie's First Football Game book that we got her (I think before she was born!). I think she's preparing for the upcoming football season and the VT/Alabama game (her mom when to Alabama!).
