We actually wanted to add this picture of Tommy and Matthew with the last post but it didn't quite happen. Anyway, these were two sticks that didn't make it to the burn pile and the boys had a little fun with them after the snow came. Alison and her kids, Samantha and Tommy, left for Baltimore around noon. So they are on the road. Heidi is coming in tonight after work to help out since I have a wedding on Mark's side of the family tomorrow in Grove City. Mom was having trouble sleeping and so we took her off her Lipton tea and we are going herbal. She also started walking on the treadmill to build up her strength and endurance. She did a total of 16 minutes yesterday and has 10 minutes in already today, which is more than I can say. She is doing great. Her blood results from Tuesday were much improved. She has enjoyed a massage from Becky and a visit with words of encouragement from Pastor Todd. Things will be tougher for me now that I will have to accomplish alone what both Alison and I were getting done before together. We continue to covet your prayers and thank you for them.

It's wonderful to hear the great progress you are making. My prayers continue for your speedy recovery. You are blessed with the wonderful care and love your daughters are providing. It's one of the greatest gifts God provides--a family that loves and cares. God bless you!!! And keep up the good work.

It was good to see you yesterday. Your faith and strength is an encouragement. I will continue to pray for your strength and upcoming treatments as well as your girls. You know that if you need anything I am more than happy to help.

Hi Murdocks,
This is my pitiful attempt at sending a message to wish you a belated merry Christmas, Happy Hanakah, blessed New Year full of only good things. In case you did not know, I am one of those people who remained in the dark ages of computer illiteracy. Dwight gave me a small refurbished IBM laptop for Christmas. I think he is not sure it was such a great idea. If I don't soon find another teacher for a class in "Computer for dummies" we may end up going for marriage counseling for the elderly. We have been thinking and praying for you every day and you are on the prayer list at our church.I'm happy to have found the blog messages your girls have posted. I will be glad to know when you are able to receive phone calls. I wish we lived closer to you so I could visit and help in some way. Meantime I will continue to hold you in my heart and prayers. I did see Jill Barnett Detweiler a few weeks ago and she said to tell you "Hello" and that she will also keep you in her prayers. Sadly, after all these years, Nelson decided that he did'nt want to be married anymore so he moved to Florida. As you can imagine, this has been a difficult adjustment for her to make at this stage of life. I will be in touch soon. Love, Barbara
GLAD TO HEAR YOU ARE IMPROVING. THANK GOD YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL FAMILY TO HELP YOU. WONDERFUL TO HEAR YOU MADE IT HOME SAFELY ALISON. OUR LOVE TO ALL OF YOU AND GOD BLESS YOU.
