Summer is winding down...








I cannot believe we are at the end of summer already….the kids start school next week. Of course, Jillian is excited about being in 1st grade and reminded me this morning that she will now be on the big kids playground at her school…very important stuff! She turned 6 last Saturday. We had 16 little girls over for a pool party…it was a Hannah Montana theme so they were all little rock stars! Tyler will be a freshman this year and of course he is NOT looking forward to going back to school…he has had a pretty lazy summer so getting up so early will not come easy. He decided not to play football this year…I was very disappointed but he said he really didn’t like it. Several of the boys quit this year which is really too bad. Now their plan is to join the bowling team….interesting…..

Nothing new for me on the health front. Still having some spotting and cramping so I will need to call the doctor next week to see what she wants to do about that. I feel like my body has finally adjusted to the Arimidex so I hate the idea of changing to a new drug…I guess we will just have to see what she decides to do. I have not made any final decisions about revision surgery…I think I will probably stick with my original surgeon…I am thinking about surgery in January but no plans have been made.

Please continue to pray for JD and family. He was back in the hospital last night due to severe head and neck pain…they are trying to get his various meds adjusted because they feel like that is why he is feeling so bad. Please pray for their strength during this long difficult journey and pray that the doctors can make the right decisions to help him feel better soon.

The 2009 Komen Race for the Cure is less than a month away….I will be celebrating my 2 year cancerversary that week. As a family we are also very thankful that my Mom will be passing the 8 year mark since her breast cancer diagnosis. So far our team has raised over $3000 which is incredible. The race will be held in downtown Cincinnati this year. We will walk over one of the bridges that crosses the Ohio River and we will finish the event in the Red’s stadium so I am looking forward to a great event. We have 6 survivors signed up as part of Team Ta-Tas. I am looking forward to walking with them and our friends and family. If you would like to walk with us or if you can support our team by making a donation please use the link below. Bret and the kids and I will all be participating and we hope to raise $1000 as a family.

Thank you for supporting the fight against cancer!

Hard to imagine summer is winding down. The weather certainly feels like fall these last couple of days. I say good riddence to this summer! :) Can't imagine Tyler in high school! Isn't that crazy! And Jillian on the big playground! Makes me smile! Take care.... Love you and miss you! Sue
