We got mom's PET scan results back this morning....

and they showed no cancer in her body anywhere!! We are all so excited here and wanted to share the wonderful news. Stage 4 colon cancer to no cancer in less than a year!! Mom said they asked repeatedly - so it is nowhere - not in any of the lymph nodes even? and he said no! They are having another doctor look at the scans to confirm what he sees and are still going to give her 4 more rounds of torturous chemotherapy and then continue the Avastin for a year. We are just so elated and so thankful. Thanks to everyone for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers!

Please keep my mom in your prayers as she goes tomorrow for her PET scan results. We are praying that it will be good encouraging news. Angie got the results of her biopsy back and it is not cancer! PTL! They are still concerned with these grouping of cells and so she is going to have them taken out for preventative measures. We appreciate all of you our friends and family who lift us up! Things have been busy here so I have not updated in a while - I promise to do better. Here are some pics to feast on after the long famine :)

Inside Winter Play.....

It has been a totally different winter for us this year here in bitter cold Indiana. I have been able to get to Florida quite a bit with Olivia but the boys have been cooped up here having to go to "big boy" school now. We have found some creative ways to keep us busy though these past few weeks.

Getting ready for Valentine's Day with handmade cupcakes and cards...

The natives are definitely getting restless!



Save us from ourselves!!

The many faces of Olivia......

My sister nicknamed her Mini Jenni on our trip to Florida. So many of my friends think she favors me and my mom - especially in these pictures. What do you think? The lighting was terrible but I had fun getting a few close ups of her sweet smile and teefies.
