You Snooze, You Lose

I think she's as tired as I am today!

It's been a busy few days and nights for us here, and I snoozed and snoozed and snoozed this morning as soon as my alarm started going off at 4:45.

Oopsies.

Drooling Headband Baby

I don't care what you're doing,

or what you're wearing.

Cutest. Evangeline. Ever.

Prison Break

This is what happens when you send your two oldest to play in their room because they're running around like wild monkeys nearly stomping on their baby sister.

You find a note on the floor stating:

Mom

Can we come with evry one else.

I did let them come out - eventually.

Maileen's Journey - October 17

August 2011

2pm

Going in for my 3rd CT scan...after 3 months the cancer in my liver had diminished to half...praying these last 3 months did more than that...God knows best...thanks for sticking through this journey with me/us.

1pm

We walked with over 7000 others, did more than 3 miles when you add just going back and forth to where the car had to be parked. Moving to see so many supporters and encouraging to talk to several survivors. Tomorrow I have my 3rd CT scan...praying for a clear liver, God knows best...;D

Beach Getaway

We just spent the weekend in Corolla with some friends.

Kristen and I have come to the conclusion that we'd like to go back right now. 
Right.

Check Yes or No

You would think two sisters, a hermit crab, some fish and two dogs would be enough for these two.
Not so much.

I was given two notes one morning before school -  literally.
We were getting ready to walk out the door.
Gianna exclaimed, "Read them!"
Espy told me she would get a pencil so that I could give them my answer.

Dear Mom,

Maileen's Journey - October 7

cousins and babies

Finally got into Augusta at 3am this morning, slept some and started my 1st round of my 6th cycle of three doses of chemo today...Towards the end of the month I get a CT and a heart exam to see how my body has responded to the treatments. Praying that my liver is clear of disease...God has His plan and leaning on Him...hope you are wearing pink this month...

walking on the 15th to encourage cancer awareness.

8,000 lanterns floating over Poznan, Poland to celebrate the summer solstice or Midsummer Night.
Love it.

"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being.

Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend

and an inspiring mentor.  Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built,

and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."

Praying for his friends and family.

Some friends came over the other night to keep me company
while Bill was out of town this weekend.

Sweet friends.

I love when we get together because we laugh

and laugh
