100% Cancer Freeeeee!!!


Well, thanks to all of the prayer and kind thoughts throughout this last 6 months, my Daddy is cancer free. It seems so odd to say and write those words! We have lived with this constantly on our minds and in our hearts for so long, that it is such a blessing to be able to take a breath and relax, if even for a little while!!

The doctor does say that this is an aggressive cancer and it will come back but they are going to keep a close eye on him and do frequent scans and tests. So, keep those prayers and kind wishes coming our way!! And, Thank you so so much for the months of kindness and prayer you have already bestowed!!

My Dad says that he is a fine specimen of a man but, I have to say, he is a fine specimen of a Father and Grandfather. Every person should have to pleasure of having a Papa Joe in their life!!!

I love you Daddy!!!!Congratulations on fighting the good fight....keep on fighting!!!

Love,

Michelle

Ok, I'm sorry that I have not posted!!!


So, I am back to work and two of my girlfriends bugged me about my lack of a post! I won't tell you who they are but, Sheila and Laura know its them. Anyway, the last couple weeks have been nuts getting ready for school to start!! I had to get my hair done, dental appointments and of course catch up on my Tivo viewing. School officially begins on Monday and hopefully life will simmer down a touch!! I PROMISE to post something soon. Until then, please be patient and know that it isn't for lack of wanting to, it's just been rather crazy!!!!

Till next time,

Michelle

My Little Girl is 4!!

Reedley, Abie, and Michael enjoying a video game as Megan watched!

Wow, where did the time go? My sweet little girl turned 4 years old today. I can't believe it. I know everyone tells you to enjoy your time with them because time flies, but you don't really get it until you look back and wonder where the time went.
Marks Dad and Step-mother came down for their annual visit so, we had a birthday party for Reedley on Saturday. We had it at Big Cheese Pizza so the kids would be able to play in the arcade. It was nice and small and simple. Reedley got a TON of nice toys and clothes, including a full Snow White costume, dress up clothes, books, a guitar, a keyboard and Barbie accessories .
Thanks to everyone for remembering her birthday. Stay tuned later tonight to see her present from Mark and I. We are waiting to give it to her because today is her actual birthday.

Love to all,

Michelle
