New

As we have started the new year. . . we have reflected on all that happened in 2012.  Lots of  heartache. . . sickness. . . tears. . . .pain. . . . Love. . . Joy. . . laughter. . . restoration. . . and repeated visits to the clinic and hospital.
We ended the year with an unexpected sell of our house. A complete 7 years at south martinwood and now it's time to move on. . . . it's hard to say goodbye to a place you brought home your first child and then two more. . . so many great memories. . . God is so good!
This new year will be different. It is going to be filled with NEW.  New life. . . new home. . . new neighbors. . . new places to visit. . . . and new learning.
 
What a way to start the year!
 
 
hearts overflowing with joy. . . as two . . .together choose new
 

 
Then, this young prince says goodbye to ONE and hello to TWO
 

 
No more "baby" but rather "Big Boy"
 
Then there's the precious neighbors that we have fallen in love with. 
Our new neighbors have some nice sized shoes to fill. :)

 
 The last few days have been filled with "busy". . . filling boxes. . . donating lots. . . trash cans being filled. This process is different than what I expected.
At dinner last night we had a fun little surprise in the so called "fortune cookie"
"you will have no problems in your home"

But the most excited NEW is coming in April! Not only will this princess enter into her 7th year.
 
 
She will be "COMPLETE" with her chemo treatments.  Yes!
I'll say it again YES!
No more of these

 
So excited to be saying goodbye to those ugly pokes and purple gloves!
Yes we will continue to have scans every 3 months for the first year but not as many visits and very few "pokes"
 
Lots and Lots to be thankful for!
YOU, prayer warriors, are so needed and appreciated. . . THANK YOU!!
