So much has happened in the past little while. Spencer will be home next Thursday, January 24th. Kristi and I have both Thursday and Friday off work. I'm guessing Nate will skip school too. We're having an open house for Spence the day after he gets home for everyone to come by and welcome him home. He speaks at church the first Sunday after he's home. Here's the announcement we sent out.
We've been getting things ready for when Spence gets home. We've painted the bedroom, set up a second bed, washed what few clothes he left behind, etc. Let's hope he still fits into his old clothes! Spence and Nate will be sharing the room downstairs and Spencer has joked with Nate telling him he'll have to be up at 6 am each morning for companion study. I'm pretty sure that's not gonna fly with Nate. Here's a picture of Nate putting the brackets up for the mini blinds after we painted. +of+Kristi%27s+Arm+Surgery+007.jpg)
Most of you probably know that when Kristi
went in for her 4 month checkup with the cancer surgeon, Dr. Noyes removed a mole on Kristi's arm. I guess the doctor didn't like how the mole looked. Fortunately there was no melanoma, but the results did show atypical cells which is kind of like pre-cancer. If not removed the cells could turn into cancer. So the day after Christmas, Kristi had a good sized chunk cut out of her arm to get rid of the bad cells. Everything went well and the biopsy results of what was cut out showed clean margins, meaning they got everything.

Josh is doing well with his treatments. The treatments that lasted two hours every day are over. He is now in the second week of giving himself shots three times a week (Mon-Wed-Fri). The first night he really had to psyche himself up to give himself a shot, but he's handling it just fine now. He'll be doing the shots three times a week for eleven months.
It's way cold right now. The high during the day barely hits in the low twenties and the overnight low is about 7 degrees. The dogs have to come inside because it's so cold. I think Josh is spoiling Rocky dog too much!

That looks like it will be a nice- looking scar on your arm Kristi.:-)We're still waiting for our announcement (of Spencer's return) to arrive. I guess it got lost in the mail. I guess that's ok. We wouldn't have been able to come anyways. Glad everything is going well. Josh and Nate look good.
Hankins Family!!! I love reading the updates. I am glad both Josh and Kristi are doing well. I've been praying for your family! I am so excited for Spence to come home. I will be in California the day he speaks in church but I will definitely come to the open house! I hope you got my address for Josh and Liz's announcement-I gave it to Nate to pass along. It's great to see everyone in the Hankins family so happy! =) I miss you guys!!!
