Christmas Party

Crystal, Leyna & Ashlyn ~ our angels?



Leyna said, "That is not the real Santa. He's fake. I smelled him, and he does not smell like Santa. He's fake, but I'm not afraid of the fake Santa." I love 3 year olds!

35!

Happy birthday to my best friend, supportive & helpful husband, playful father, adoring son, hardworking businessman, and faithful follower of Christ. I love you for all that you are!

Something's Amiss

Notice anything different about Kami? She lost her front tooth and is about to lose the other -- just in time to be able to sing "All I Want for Christmas are My Two Front Teeth." She rolls her eyes at me every time I start to sing the song.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

No laughing at my skinny tree. One of these years I'll get the full tree of my dreams. So I thought it'd be fun to have the kids wish you all a merry Christmas. I quit trying after three attempts. But from our home to yours, we really do wish you all a very merry Christmas season!

Thanksgiving

We made the drive to AZ where we had a great two days with Eric's family in Prescott and another two game-filled days with my family in Gilbert, but only a few pictures to show for it. Thanks, Tiff, for contributing to my picture collection. Christmas will be better (maybe).
Joan slaved away to make us a delicioius meal, as did my parents just two days later. Yum yum yum. I love my yam yam yams.

Blood Tests

I forgot to post that I had a blood test on Monday, November 23rd. If you remember, my last test reflected a CEA count of 0.7. It is now down to 0.4! Isn't that fabulous? This is significant because it’s the first blood test done without having had chemo for 3 months. I knew in my heart that all was going to be well, but am super ecstatic with the results. I'm awaiting similar news when I have my next scan on December 22nd. I'll keep you 'posted.' (ha ha ha...pun obviously intended)
