SO many good things

So many good things today! For one, we didn't have to go to Seattle for any Dr appointments. Yay! It was a lovely, sunny day and Elizabeth got to ride Josie. She muscled her way up the saddle with no assistance at all! (Other than having the horse held for her;) 
She had a really enjoyable walk around the streets surrounding my parent's home. 

Our amazing friends in Chicago saved Dave and the kids in Utah last night with a surprise dinner pizza delivery. Thank you Larsons! It was especially wonderful timing because Dave was tied up with a late work project and the kids were cheered up and fully fed with the unexpected food showing up right when everyone was getting hangry. It made me so happy to hear about this today!

Another amazing thing happened...a generous stranger gave our family a donation when they learned of Elizabeth's cancer. Elizabeth has a friend at school that went through cancer in 7th grade. She told a woman at a salon today about Elizabeth and our family and this woman just decided to contribute money to our family to help us get through this difficult time. I was moved to tears (again) because of the kindness of this individual and the collective goodness of all who know us doing so much to support our family and Elizabeth at this time.
