Today marks ONE year since Katelyn's very last chemo! I can't believe how the time has flown! We are so very thankful for her health and all the growing that she and we did through this experience. We thank God everyday for lifting her up and healing her, and for keeping her healthy. Thank you for all of your support! Prayer is very powerful and we are so thankful for all of Katelyn's prayer warriors!!!
Kate had a checkup about two weeks ago and everything is clear and in perfect order! We are so very thankful!!!
Kiera just turned ONE! Can you believe it? I can't! She is walking and saying lots of words. She loves her big sister and wants to do everything that Katelyn does. She keeps up rather well too! The girls are already little best friends, and they bring so much joy to our family!
We moved to Ramona a few weeks ago! We got our own place on the West side of Ramona and it is perfect for our little family. It has everything we need and we are close to town, which has proven to be a blessing! We loved living in Mesa Grande, it was beautiful, but I am very thankful to be close to civilization! The girls are reaping the benefits as well, not only do we visit the park a couple times a week, but they have their own play room! They have toys galore and get to run a muck without tearing down the house. I LOVE IT! They also share a room, and it is so nice to be able to lay them down and night and still have the rest of the house to do things in! We are so happy in our own place, it is incredible!!!
Todd has been working a lot, which has also been Godsent. He is doing construction and staying really busy. Thankfully, we are able to pay our bills and enjoy life! I hope that we can find a balance soon though, as we both really want him to pursue his Nursing career. We will just hope and pray that the time will come that we can both pay our bills and he can study!
A quick update on my family! Brooke turned 13 a few months ago and is turning out to be quite a little lady. I watched some of her basketball games over the winter and she is wonderful. She also just started softball and I will be going to see her for the second time this Saturday. She is quite the athlete! Already thinking one step ahead and she keeps her head in the game. She is hitting and fielding and doing really well! It's a joy to watch her play, and to see how she improves and grows every season! Holly is a senior! She is headed off to college in Washington in the Fall. She is very smart, and when she puts her head in something, she can do nothing but excel. I am so proud of her and all that she has accomplished. SHe has such a bright future and I can't wait to see what becomes of her! Nutters is expecting baby Audrey in the beginning of July! She is the most adorable little pregnant person ever. Malakai keeps her busy too! He is all boy... going, going, going, gone! She has to be on her toes at all times! He recently got 4 teeth! Jeanette and Jayd were worried as he hadn't had any teeth until now, and he is 16 months old! They are so thankful that his teeth have finally appeared. Jayd has been busy with work as well! They are just patiently awaiting Audrey's arrival! Ashley is busy as always! Working, going to school, and living the fun, kid-free life that she should! She and Ryan still live with roommates in La Mesa and are enjoying their youth! My Mom is busy at work and recently had a wonderful visit from Peter & his family! It was a wonderful visit for all of us! Also, Todd's brother, Jeff, and his fiance, Tarren, are expecting their second baby in the beginning of June! We are so excited about all of these new additiong, and overwhelmed by all the girls!
Also, the Celebration of Champions is back again! We are so excited to celebrate our little champion and all of the champions we have met along our journey! It is on Saturday, May 15th. We will be there with shade and some chairs, anyone who wants to join in this incredible experience and celebrate all of these champion children with us, should join us! It is truly an experience you will never forget!!!!
