Happy Birthday Amy!

    We wanted to say THANK YOU to everyone who wished Amy Happy Birthday and all those who have supported and continue to support her! Her 12th birthday was full of squealing pre-teen girl stuff, including but not limited to: slumber party with two good friends, movies, games and of course presents! She had so much fun! In true Amy fashion she used her birthday money to buy a microscope and has been examining all kinds of things around the house. The Allen family, cousins in New Orleans, sent her a box full of stuff for Mardi Gras! We decided it was time for her to receive her hope chest for putting away those treasures meant to last a lifetime. It is so hard to believe that our baby girl is growing up so fast. She keeps reminding everyone that in less than a year now she will be 13! Yikes!
     We are back at ACH this week for her last round of chemo. We had an x-ray this morning and hopefully will begin treatment shortly. As long as everything goes ok then we will only be here until Friday. Once this round is finished we will be waiting two weeks then returning for testing. The doctors will be looking to see if the chemo did it's job. Many of the initial tests will be done again to see where we are in this process. Please continue to pray for us and especially for Amy.

    Amy has such a silly side and just like her Daddy it can really shine at times. This week was no exception and the unlucky victims of her prank, of course, was her older sisters! Since the beginning, both Malinda and Bryanna told her that if she loses her hair then they will shave theirs as well. She really put them to the test! She tied bandanas around her head to make it look like she had shaved her head and took pictures. Then she sent them to Malinda and Bryanna, and called them to ask if they were keeping up with their part in the bargain! Both sisters were TERRIFIED that they would now have to shave their heads and one even scheduled an appointment with her hairdresser this week so she wouldn't chicken out!! Finally Amy came clean and said that she was just joking and that she still has the cute little blonde bob haircut and not a shiny bald head! Thankfully it wasn't too late but she really had them going! They both insist that she is a stinker and they wouldn't have it any other way!
    A big thank you to everyone following Amy. She really is a special girl and we know God has a special purpose for her life! How amazing is it that He decided that we would be her family?! We have been truly blessed with a little girl who is now a bright young lady.

  1. This science teacher is so excited that you have your own microscope. Here are a fewvthimgs you can look at. The first person to look at bacteria looked at teeth scraping, rain water, and peppercorn infusion (soaked peppercorns in water). I know you will have a GREAT time with it. Know that I am thinking of you and praying for you.
