CANCER FREE!!!!

Mom had a PET scan last week and we found out that she is CANCER FREE! Yaaaaaaay!!!!! We are rejoicing and praising God.

This is Mom with her “cancer-fightin’-cowboy”, Dr. Bevers (gynecological oncologist), from MD Anderson in Houston, TX.

 

She will have blood work in 3 months and will continue her oral cancer medication (which inhibits estrogen production) for about a year.

 

We cannot thank you enough for all of the prayers and well wishes. I truly believe in the power of prayer and you were all my Mom’s little angels…especially when it was difficult for me to pray at times~ I tend to avoid God when I’m scared to death to know what His answer might be. (truth bomb)

 

So I appreciate each and every one of you…more than you could EVER know. Thank you.

February Recap

So, since it is now the end of March, I thought it was fitting to do a quick recap of February. (Bad blogging~ sorry!)

 

I don’t know about you, but I am SOOOOO OVER this crazy winter. (Joe and I thought this was funny one, cold morning: looked up and saw this scene while we were getting ready…3 little donkeys eating breakfast around the table)

 

 

Then randomly, the next day it will be like 75-80 degrees

 

 

…the following day, back down to 50. NUTS! Please hurry up, summer!!!!

 

 

For Valentines boxes this year, the kiddos picked out what they wanted from Pinterest. I covered the boxes for them, but the kids did the rest! So proud.

 

 

Except for this little guy on Ethan’s frog- he’s my favorite addition from Mom!

 

 

Valentines Parties times 4…Always fun to run between classrooms for a fun, filled, busy hour! (E, A, B, S)

 

 

LOVED the artwork on the walls in the hallway. Melt my heart!

 

 

Drew was sick the day they made their “love” journals, so I dug this one up! Hilarious. God love you, Drew.

 

 

 

We also played Upward basketball this winter. (S, A, B, E)

 

 

 

Ben, Ethan, Savannah, Andrew

 

 

Dad was coach! and our kids took up over half of the team (4 out of 7! ha) Joe, Drew, Sav, Ben, and Ethan

 

 

My cute lil hubby coaching…

 

This was one of the only pictures I took, because after the first game, I felt so sorry for Joe trying to herd cats, that I became co-coach. It’s a glorified title. I wore a coach’s shirt and just pointed the kids where to go on offense. Ha!

 

My dream is to one day be able to attend a sporting event without having to do anything but watch and take pictures!…wishing thinking.

 

We also had muffins with Mom one morning. That was special. I love watching the kids get a big kick out of events like this.

 

And that about sums up February!

 

We received HUGE news about Mom and her fight with cancer over Spring Break last week! Thanks so much for the prayers!

Stay tuned.
