Two weekends ago, we celebrated Evan's Birthday at Out of this World Pizza. He had a great time with cousins and friends. This past weekend, we celebrated David graduating with his MBA. It was a wonderful celebration. Dave Frohnmayer was the guest speaker. He has been the U of O President for the past 15 years, and was an Oregon Attorney General for 10 years. He was a great guest speaker. I am so proud of David and how hard he has worked for the past 2 years. I am glad to have my husband back! We will have some professional pictures coming soon, but I will post a few of the good ones that I got. June has been a full month...

Pathology report

David and I at the Papa's Pizza fundraiser for ACS!

Today my parents went to Seattle to have the staples removed after my Father's surgery and to find out the results of the pathology report. The report was great! There were no more signs of cancer. The surgeon indicated he may still have to have chemo as a precaution. They will meet with the Oncologist in a few weeks, after my Dad heals a little more. The good news is, this is the best news we could have gotten. Praise the Lord!

Last night we attended a fundraiser for the American cancer society at Papa's Pizza. A friend of the family lost her little girl to cancer 2 years ago when she was two, and has since been raising money to find a cure for cancer. We invited David's softball team to come too, since their game was the same evening and right next door. I am waiting to find out how much was raised, but it seemed to be a good turnout. Fifty percent of the food you purchased went to ACS.

Thanks again to all of you that are have been praying for our family.

Evan's 4 year picture

Happy Birthday Evan...or should I say Frankster the prankster? That is what I call him for fun. He is always up to something, so the name is appropriate. Four years ago today I was in lovely labor with this sweet boy. I had no idea what a ride life would be with him. I am so thankful that he was chosen to be a part of our family. Evan is thrilled to be 4, and is starting his first swimming lessons next week. He also loves his matchbox cars, and has a new found love of baseball. He is learning to pedal a tricycle and continues to make great stride in his speech daily.
