We re on our way Up North for a ski day with our boys and friends. Bella will be staying with my Mom for the day. Just wanted to touch base and let you know all is well. Bella had chemo again yesterday....she is really shaky, so they put her back on the Narontin which helps with her nervous system. She now has 7 days off of steroids, and believe it or not, has a small appetite. Her belly is really bloated again, she looks so funny walking around...she looks like a tiny pregnant person. Other than these very small circumstances, she is doing GREAT! We go back for week 3 of chemo next Thursday. Truly I tell you, the Doctors are absolutely amazed at how well she has handled the last rounds of chemo. They keep preparing us for hte worst, we listen and continue to respond with God's promises over her. Fortunately, our Doctors are in agreement with us. I am still putting a skiiny pig tail on top of her head...who knows, she may never totally lose it. That would be so like God to spare me from that hurt, but its only an earthly set back, its not eternal.
My first born, Natey, turned 14 today....can somone please explain to my heart that its time to let him grow up. Oh my heart, I love this boy so very much. I will never ever forget his quick delivery in to this world. He came out with a perfect head, perfect face, and eye's wide open...ready to take on the world. He's been that way ever since. He has been performing for us since in the womb and he never stops. He brings us so much joy, he is a wonderful son, a helpful and kind big brother and a ver doting and loving big brother to his sister. Heavenly Father, I know he's "on lone" to us from you...just want to thank you for trusting your spirit in him with us. We took Nate and our fam to dinner at the Melting Pot tonight for a special celebration. The boys loved it, and Bella enjoyed walking around the restaurant to hear everyone say "awwwwe, she is so cute"!
I am on my lap top, pics are on my desk top down stairs. so you will have to wait for pics till Sunday and they will be from our ski trip day.
Thanks friends for checking, I like to post more often as I know you are checking in and I want you to see someting, but most days, I just run out of time to gather my thoughts together to type.
I am working on this issue as I love to blog.

Happy bday Nate! My oldest is 16 going on 17 next month. It is so hard to let them grow up. (That's why I like to keep young one's around).
Glad to hear Bella is tolerating the chemo so well. Keeping the prayers going for her and your family.

Isn't it crazy how fast time flies?
So glad Bella is doing so well!
Awesome to hear Bella is still doing so well. Great news :-) and have an awesome time on your trip.
So happy to read Bella continues to do so well! And still has enough hair for a pony tail, that's amazing!
Hope you had a great ski trip. That's something I've never tried (and probably never will).
Happy Birthday Nate! I know it is crazy how fast the time flies. They want to grow up and we want to keep them young. No matter how old he is, he will continue to be a blessing to you and your family.
Keeping you in my prayers!
