Rock Stars in the Making

Caden got some tinker toys not to long ago and made
this microphone. He has such a good imagination!

Field Trip

Caden was able to go our local fire station with his preschool. He really loved it. I think his favorite part was when they turned on the lights. Anyone who knows Caden knows that he is totally obsessed with lights!

Class Picture

Holding the fire hose.

Caden thought the fireman getting dressed in his fire gear was cool until he put on the mask. Then most of the kids backed up and were a little freaked out.

Silly Sleeper

It's always entertaining to check in on Abby after she has fallen asleep. We find her in the funniest positions.

This was the other night, sleeping on top of both pillows.

This is from awhile back. Good thing we check on her, sleeping completely under the pillows :o)

A New Year

Wow, it has been such a long time since I have updated the blog. Here a couple of recent pictures of the kids. I have been doing a lot of thinking about 2010 and I have to admit that although there were some good times, for the most part I really just want to forget about all the hard times. So here's to hoping that 2011 is filled with good health and happy times for our family and each of your families.

Our True Identity

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this message!!! What a sweet reminder of who we truly are...sons and daughters of a loving Heavenly Father. What peace this brings me to know that I am personally known by my Father in Heaven. Enjoy.

Surgery

Well everyone I made it through surgery!!! Yippee that means I am 2/3 done with my treatments. I can hardly wait to be finished. Surgery went really well and it appears that the chemo did amazing things, since the original tumor could not be found!!!! According to the pathology report there was "extensive tumor kill with only minimal residual tumor identified." That was great news! I am slowly healing and trying to get back to normal (really is there such a thing as normal???) I am eternally grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who I know is personally aware of me and this trial that I have been going though. I know that He has carried me when I didn't think I could keep pushing forward. I am grateful for the miracles that I have seen in the last 6 months, they are so many and I feel so blessed.
