Flowers for Deb

My mother-in-law was diagnosed with cancer in her throat a couple months ago. She had chemo and radiation treatments that started in the beginning of December. Deb and Vince went to the hospital every weekday morning for the treatments. With lots of prayer and love from everyone, she has completed all of her treatments. Her last one was on Wednesday! With more time, she will start to heal and gain her strength back.

Everyone has been so kind to all of us during this time. We all appreciate everything everyone has done. The flowers have been so pretty! The other day, I had my studio up and took some pictures of Deb's flowers.

Three and Six

My babies are getting so big. Anya will be three on the 14th of February, and Ian will be six on the 13th of March. I went ahead and did their yearly pictures. I am very happy with the results!

Swimming day

We had a long but fun day today. The kids and I met with our friends at my neighbors pool and made a day of swimming! The kids had a great time and even wanted to stay longer than the two and a half hours that we spent there already. Once we got home, Anya's exhaustion showed itself. She fell asleep on the floor while eating her lunch.
An hour after we got home from swimming, we were out the door again to spend some time with my mom, brother and his family. A nice day.

My beautiful little monkeys!

Christmas Continued!

We had a blizzard yesterday, so the kids and I were out playing out in the snow and I just got the opportunity to download the pictures of Christmas today.

As I said on the last post, we had a wonderful Christmas. Here are some shots of Christmas Eve and Christmas day.

Here is Ian putting out the cookies and milk for Santa.

And Christmas morning!

The day after Christmas, we visited our next door neighbors for a play date. Anya gave herself a mustache.
