Hi there,

Just wanted to let you know that everyone is doing very well. Mom had a great weekend…we went to the mall, out to lunch and dinner, and spent quite a bit of time relaxing. Snoopy and Chippy love the “new” Colleen! Mom and I have also been looking for sales on baby gear…I love that she feels the need to have her own baby stuff! She is going to be such a great grandma…or GG, as she prefers to be called! We are all so excited to meet our little baby girl. I have been having a lot of contractions…its crazy to think the baby could come tomorrow or in 3 weeks from now! We are currently hosting a “Drury Family Pool” for bets on when the baby will arrive…we tend to make everything into a competition, dont we! Any of you are welcome to submit your dates!

Mom has chemo next week….that’s right…the week of Thanksgiving. She and I are going to stay home on Turkey Day and watch ASU play USC while everyone else goes to the game. We will celebrate Thanksgiving on Friday this year. We are taking advantage of her good appetite this week by feeding her delicious sugar cookies from AJ’s! They are her favorite!

I also wanted to ask that all of you please pray for a Bootz family member in Green Bay, WI. Her name is Kathy and she was recently diagnosed with mucosal melanoma. She is having surgery on Thursday, so please pray for a quick recovery and complete healing for her.

I hope all is well!

Love,

Nicole
