Windsor is off to Ole Miss and the school year is in full swing!
Windsor is thriving! Ole Miss is a perfect fit. He is spending a lot of time studying! We experience the "Grove" tailgating mayhem during family weekend!
Maddy is in her senior year and starting her college application process! John said we will visit when she narrows it down to her top 10!
Joe is fully recovered from the broken jaw and gets to play his first soccer game this weekend after spending a lot of time on the bench recovering!
Eliza is working hard and loving all the "one on one" with her daddy during homework time!
Most importantly, "To God be the Glory"! This is our family motto! John continues to tolerate his new chemo protocol with supernatural strength and deliverance! He received chem last weds. and biked 25 miles Thurs! No signs of tumor recurrence!
Here at the Esther home we continue to give all the glory to God that we have no fear!
Please continue to lift us up in prayer, this is where we place our hope and trust!!
Blessings and Thanks for the continued support and encouragement!
