"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."

Happy 3rd Birthday Valerie!!

What a busy weekend! My 'baby' turned 3 - how is that possible??? Here are some pics from her party at Chuck E. Cheese, which we learned when we got there that she was deathly terrified of that big ol' rat!!

It wasn't too hard finding a cake for her...


Chowing down on some pizza...


She didn't even want to look at Chuck E.!


Finally, having fun riding Barney!


Olivia and Taylor...


Nicholas sneaking in some icing....


Seth having fun in front of the camera...

Daddy with Valerie and Jhonen...


After it was all over, Valerie was in pony heaven!!!


One down, three more to go! Also, my scans are rescheduled for Friday. I should say scan, since my PET scan has not been rescheduled. That is fine by me, I don't want to glow any more than I need to. I go back to work Tuesday and see my my doctors the last week in January. Here's to clean scans and smooth transitions at work!!

Love to all,
B

Hi Brandy,

I just found your site via Bekah's blog.

I'd love to add your site to mine, if you don't mind.

Wishing you continued strength, my friend.

With love and best wishes,
Duane

Hi Duane! No, I wouldn't mind at all being added on your site. I frequent it often for some much needed inspiration! :)

Warmly,
Brandy
