Well, look what can back!!! Mike had the moped at the engine shop to get serviced and spruced up. Last summer, this was a 'must ride' for Austin!!! He loved it! The moment Mike pulled into the garage last night and the moped was on the back, Austin was super excited. I mean, so much, that Mike could barely get a chance to unload it before taking off with Austin having a ride!!! Everyone got a chance to take a quick ride before supper. :))) Well, everyone that wanted a ride. :)
Every single day, when Ginger barks around 5:30 PM, Austin says, "Dadda!!!" He runs out to the garage and hopes that Mike pulls in. He gets so excited to see his daddy. He calls him, "Dad." It's way too cute! :) Mike just smiles and loves the attention and demands even though life is heavy these days. Mike has a lot going on with his Dad's health not being well, but he's loved so much here at home and the kids really do want every minute with their dad that they can get!
Matthew was excited for the moped back too! He said that this is going to be his way around this summer. Not real sure where he thinks he's going but OK. :)))
And of course, "Sweets" gets a ride too!!!
Austin got a new toy on Saturday. We bought this tractor at the GEET Sale and he's loving it!!!

Update on Dad Lapp ...
With Dad being so very sick over last week, he is doing a little better. Still weak. Still just laying in the hospital being cared for and trying to fight through all this cancer!!!
Dad Lapp needs surgery done on his stomach so that the doctors can make an extension around his cancer tumor so he will then be able to eat and digest food! He's been in the hospital for almost two weeks now waiting for this surgery. Dad's white blood cell count was too low. Then he got a blood infection. Then his counts went up again. The infection is now cleared. He was all ready for surgery yesterday. Those that are there with Mom and Dad prayed over Dad and said what they wanted to say before surgery and the suddenly the surgeon came in and said there is an emergency! Someone else needed help, now!!!
This is discouraging. I mean, Dad's been in the hospital for days and days and is finally now able to have surgery and now this!?!!?? What is God teaching us? Why do we need to wait another day when Dad's been through so much already? We don't know. We can ask God. We cry out with so many questions but through it all ... God promises to never leave us nor forsake us.
So, now Dad is rescheduled for surgery on Thursday. Please pray that his counts remain good and that Dad will be able to have this surgery to help him survive!!!
Mike and I have plans on going to visit Dad and Mom in Arizona this weekend. We would love if our friends and family would cover us in prayer as we travel and spend time with Dad and Mom. I know it's going to be hard. It's going to be stretching and my faith will be tested. Faith is an action so unless we live out all God's promises of "Be strong and courageous," how will my faith be made stronger. I know I will be deeper rooted in Jesus!
