Updates to come

Good morning! We arrived safely in Sugar Land yesterday afternoon. Sally gracefully steered us through windy conditions. She said it was one of the bumpiest flights in her flying history. It was definitely the bumpiest flight in my history! My stomach recovered a few hours later. Steve wasn't phased. He held my hand for more than an hour and constantly reassured me that we'd be OK.

Jim picked us up, checked us in to the M.D. Anderson hotel and took us to the movies and dinner. We also stopped at the House of Pies -- a Houston institution devoted to 40 kinds of pie! A tour bus of sweet older ladies (we think they were members of the Red Hat Society) arrived just moments before us, so we had at least half an hour to choose a flavor (Washington cherry for Steve, French silk for me, strawberry rhubarb for Jim).

We'll walk over to the clinic for Steve's first appointment soon and update later this afternoon, after we meet with Steve's oncologist.

You and Steve (and Cooper and Katie) are foremost in all our thoughts and prayers, especially today.
