Just normal life around here

A big THANK YOU to everyone who helped support Shelby's fundraising by coming to the 3rd Annual Cosmic bowl event last Saturday night. We had a smaller turnout than the past years, but all who showed up had fun and won lots of great prizes. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! About $2000.00 will be added to Shelby's COTA fund from that event.

Things have been very normal around here and we like it that way. Shelby is due to go to liver clinic in Chicago this Tuesday. She hasn't been there for 6 months!!!!!!! Amazing! That's the longest she's ever gone between clinics. We are very happy and grateful for her good health. Here's a recent picture of our cutie-pie. As you can see, she has quite a few spider veins on her face due to her liver disease. We will be asking about those and that might lead to a scope early next year, but hopefully that can be done here in Rockford.

Here is Miss Riley singing at her winter program last night. She did wonderful and looked so cute (and big) on stage. She's on the top row on the end (with the white barrettes in her hair). We are so proud of her, and...

she lost her 1st tooth Monday moring!!! She was so excited! This is her on the phone telling Grammie.


Here our our beauties Thanksgiving morning posing very nicely for us. But...
you know that doesn't happen very much!

Please, please hold our little friend Annika in your prayers. She had surgery on November 30th and is having a really, really rough time. This family needs your prayers. Please leave me a comment so I know you visited.
