"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen."

Catching up as life refuses to stop....

The past few months have been hectic. My mom's illness has really been a roller coaster of a ride. She's been diagnosed with MDS, a bone marrow disorder. We've been to MD Anderson several times and only leave more frustrated than before. Our next appt. is next Friday, so we're hoping to have some more answers. Meanwhile, my lungs started acting up in April, slowly progressing to wheezing just about 24/7. I went to see an allergist and I am taking neb treatments 2x day, prednisone, Advair inhaler and Veramyst nose spray. Hey, at least I can breath and walk without wheezing. :)

Ok, so here are some recent pics of the kids.....
Olivia *finally* lost her other front tooth!!


Valerie was in the back pretending to be a dog....
