Thanksgiving

We had a very relaxing Thanksgiving. The guys played football in the morning while the kids and I watched the parade and cooked with my mom. Patrick watched football and I did some crafts with the kids in the afternoon. It was nice to have a day to just hang around. We had dinner with my mom and dad and J.B. We have so much to be grateful for this year!

Fall Pics

Here are some pics I took of the kids a few weeks ago with the leaves :)

We Made It!

Sheridan started the Maintenance phase of her chemo on Monday. She only has to go in once a month! She does have to take meds at home now everyday, but she is swallowing whole pills in apple sauce so that is going smoothly so far. She is very proud of herself! Her hair has also started growing back...she looks adorable :) I will try to post a bunch of pics this weekend from all the things we did in October. Talk to you soon :)

Light the Night!

Saturday night was amazing! We had so much fun celebrating with everyone who was able to come :) We started around 4 when Madeline and I got to our tent to set things up for our team. We had a great "tail gate" party before the walk! Our tent was right near the band and we danced with the kids...there also was a moon bounce, face painter and very talented balloon artist. Madeline and Sheridan and I were a part of the program that kicked off the walk. Sheridan was the honored hero for the walk and Madeline and I spoke briefly. It was incredible to see all those balloons glowing in the dark and bobbing along as we walked. Seeing how many people were out there with us because they were effected in some way was very moving and emotional but we also had a blast.

Update

Sheridan and I went downtown today for chemo. She couldn't go to the art room (which didn't go over well) because she has a cough, but we brought some of our own art projects with us. Once we got in a pod she had plenty of fun...we even watched Toy Story :) She is doing great with this phase and will be back at school tomorrow!

Tonight Madeline and I went to pick up A Spoonful of Sugar's t-shirts and wrist bands for the walk. We are so excited! We have almost reached our goal of $20,000!!! Thank you to everyone for your generosity!!!
