Missing in Action...

Apologies for the lack of posts lately. It's not a lack of material, just a lack of time.

I have piles and piles of pics from our Disneyland vacation. I'll post a few in a couple of days. Of course, the pics aren't the best part. There are a couple of priceless moments that warrant a mention.

So, what's been going on the keep me from posting? Well, this is tax season and Shelly has reclaimed the computer on occasion. Work is also quite busy.

But, that's all secondary to some family health issues that have popped up.

You might remember a picture of my grandfather I posted from when Jonathan was born last May. Grandaddy is the last grandparent I have left, and probably the one I've always been closest to. He had been having some "issues" lately, so he went to the gastro doctor to have his throat and esophagus scoped. They found a spot at the base of his esophagus that a biopsy showed to be cancerous.

Fast forward to this week and all of the tests and the news shows that things are further progressed than we had hoped. In the next few days they will finish putting all of the test results together and formulate a treatment plan. Thankfully we are in a place with the what is possibly the best medical care in the world. No matter how things shake out, he's got the best chance possible.

I'll probably pick up posting almost daily again about current events, and as time permits, I'll add in a post with events from the last few weeks.

Keep checking back. There are some funny Matthew stories as well as some things about me. I've even got pictures from last weekend when I took Shelly's truck into the woods and managed to get it stuck - twice. She wasn't amused.
