A little over a year has gone by since I posted last.  The last post was when Aida finished treatment. Since then there have been so many good days.  She is just about to finish 3rd grade, her birthday is coming up, we have a BIG summer planned.  Life is good.  She’s had a busy […]

This morning at 4am Aida took her LAST chemo pill.  She danced a little dance in her bed and went back to sleep. Good bye Cancer! Hello Adventure!  

We had a busy day LLS events were in full swing yesterday and today.  She loves being Girl of the Year.  Every where we went people asked us about her last treatment and her party.  I answered the questions and then we would get in the car and she would say mommy, I do still […]

This kid moved in across the street and instantly became a fixture around our house.  He could be a Cordeau.  These three are perfection together.  Their friendship is what friendships are suppose to be about.  They are full of giggles, fun, fighting, I’m sorry’s, hugs, adventures, creativity, joy, Jesus, and all the things that make […]

  6 days to go… we are celebrating with GLITTER! The more the better!!

Remember how I told you that even now sometimes we wake up with a plan in mind and Cancer is like “NO! I have another plan!”  That happens still.  It happened this morning.  We were in bed, enjoying sleeping in, the rain, all the good things about Sunday morning and what do I hear…Aida throwing […]

Today we walked with some dear friends in the Any Baby Can Walk For Autism.  I won’t go into details but having her son diagnosed with Aspergers 2 years ago has been a struggle that I cant even begin to relate to.  I learn so much from this friend. Her patience, her grace, her compassion. […]
