Just Because.....

Just because we haven't posted, doesn't mean that nothing is going on and we haven't thought many times about writing SOMETHING.  Sorry, it has been so long.

Just because we haven't posted doesn't mean that several important milestones haven't come and gone.  They have.

So, just because it's Friday, I  post.

Carson turned 8 and is now officially one year off treatment.  We were treated to the news that he now only has to visit the clinic every other month.  We did not visit for the entire month of December.  (We did have to visit the pediatrician though for an ear infection)

Carson and I managed to take a good picture together before his baptism in November.

Francesca turned 16 and is at this moment, finishing school and heading to her behind the wheel course - learning to drive.  YIKES!

On a sad note, we lost our older black dog to cancer just before Christmas.  She saw us through two bouts of cancer and in the end, we couldn't see her through the same.  We miss her like crazy!

We visited Texas for the Christmas holidays, our first visit in a year and a half.  Carson and Francesca had all kinds of fun visiting with their Texas cousins - and meeting their new cousin Grayson.

January is off to a running start.  Clinic and doctor visits continue to result in good news for both Carson and I and our life continues on the path to normal.

Here's hoping your 2014 will be as normal as ours is starting out.....
