This week at the Rays

First, our Chelsea is home tonight with her "halo" and all the gear that goes with it. It looks as if the plan is to "fatten" her up (only if we could give her some of Joe's, that would be great) and perform the surgery in the next month or so. Remember, the "halo" will be 10 lbs and her little body is only 25 lbs. Please continue to pray for her and her family as they tread new waters here. I'm sure it is wonderful having her home but also pretty scary. I've mentioned it before, you can visit Chelsea's Caringbridge Site that is highlighted in a few posts below. She loves to get messages from everyone, even if she doesn't know you. It's so easy and quick to set up an account with caringbridge and sign her guest book. It would definitely put a big smile on her face.

Bahama Bob's was once again, a great success. We were down about 4 people from last year and I felt the band was better last year too. But, it was still a really fun night. Thank you to all of you that came and celebrated with us and a special thanks to my good friend Amy who surprised us early Sunday morning with garbage bags in hand ready to clean up. We really love our family and friends.

Now, the next Rays adventure. Friday morning @ 4:00 A.M. we are heading to Tucson Arizona with Bob's family. The boys and I have never met any of Bob's cousins and aunts and uncles from his Dad's (Cesar) side of the family. It will be quite a reunion. Please pray that everything goes smoothly and of course pray that we all get along and most of all, pray that this will be such a wonderful experience not only for us, but for Bob's dad. He hasn't had much of an opportunity to be with his family from Mexico and my hopes are that he will have this time to share all of us with all of them. Words can't possibly explain how wonderful Bob's dad is, he is the best of the best. Honestly, if you've met him you will know what I'm talking about. If you haven't it's a must. He's almost 83 and has more spunk and energy than most 40 year old guys.

Well, it's almost midnight and I'm still up waiting for one more load of laundry to dry so that I can go to bed. I only have about 25 more loads to do tomorrow. Apparently, I;m petty behind in the laundry category. Truthfully, I'm behind in many categories. On well, it will all still be here waiting for me on Monday.

Have a wonderful week everyone!
