Happy Birthday, Addi

Last weekend we went to Chuck E. Cheese to celebrate Addi turning 5 but above are some pre-party pictures at Amy and Mike's. We had a little private party the week before because Jo was in town from Houston. jo made a strawberry cake and had had a Hello Kitty theme. Lasagna was served and a great time was had by the guest of honor....Addison. She's such a pretty little girl! Now that Amy and her entire family are learning how to move on with life post cancer, it's still a bit of an uphill struggle. I cannot imagine what it must be like for a little girl to go through life wondering "is mommy going to the hospital this week?" every single week of her 3rd and 4th year of life. Hopefully, this new year will bring lots of happy moments and fewer trying times. Amy continues to gain strength and confidence. The stem cell transplant still looks like a huge success! Please pray for continued strength and healing.

Now, let's talk party....

Here's Amelia with Becki.....

Addi, me and Amelia all in our animal prints.

My baby girl taking it all in. I wish I snapped a shot of her getting out of her car seat. It was a little sensory overload paranoia. She was fine 2 seconds later.
