Sad Update

As most of you know, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in late December. Well, it looks like the long, hard battle is coming to an end. After spreading to her lungs and brain, it is now in her spinal fluid, and there is no longer a chemo or drug that will fight the cancer.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayer during this time. Please keep her in your thoughts as she makes her final journey.

You're a very Useful Engine!

 

 

So we leave the baptism party for Logan, and we're not 5 minutes away when I get a call from Allyson. She says "hey, the lady across the street is giving away her Thomas the Train table and some track, and I thought of Josh. Do you want it?"

Now, we have a train table already, but the track is expensive (for what you get), and he doesn't have a ton. Plus, I'm thinking I can put the other table in his room. So I say "She's GIVING it away?" This stuff is expensive after all, and I'm thinking she missed a money making opportunity. Sure enough, she is giving it away. So we take it!

After some cleaning with clorox wipes, Josh now has a ton of tracks. There were also trains, but they were the metal ones, so we are holding on to those for a while. I haven't cleaned up the table yet, but that is on my "to-do" list.

After he woke up from his nap that day, he saw the new train layout (including some new big pieces like the mountain pass and mine shaft), his eyes got huge and he came running over! Now he's saying "Play trains!" even more.

So a huge thanks goes out to Allyson for calling us, and to the lady across the street!
