up-date post!

Ok, so something happened to the SD part of my computer and I couldn't bring up any pictures....ahhhhh! I chatted with Joe in facebook last night, who had me do a few different things, but I still couldn't get it to work. I ran into Caro today and bought a SD card reader and can now up-load pictures again! I have LOTS I need to post on here, but am waiting for Adam's parents to get here for dinner, then Adam and I are heading to his basketball game, while "G" and Papa stay with the boys and get them ready for bed! Therefore, I will post what I can and add more tomorrow!

This is my cousin Tracy's daughter Gabriella

These next pictures are from my cousin Courtney's baby shower, where I finally got to spend a little time with Mia Schuch...the newest addition to our family!

She fell asleep on my chest! What a sweetheart!

OK, thats all for now! Dinner time!

I've hit 1 year!

Hard to believe I've been blogging for 1 year tomorrow! I wasn't sure if I started it on Bryce's birthday or a few days before, so I had to go back and look. Tomorrow my baby turns 7! Where the bleep has the time gone?!?! It's unbelievable to me that 7 years ago today I was induced! So crazy!

What's even crazier is that my little buddy Emily Brandt has been gone for 20 years tomorrow. (it may be 19 but I am almost positive it's 20!) Wow I cried a lot today just thinking of where I was 20 years ago, and how it all went down. I think about Emily ALL the time and I miss her more and more every day! She was taken away from us way way too young! 6 years old just isn't fair! Although she was only here for 6 years, she was such an amazing little girl and meant so much to me! She was my buddy and now she watches over my little buddy! She is definitely Bryce's guardian Angel. I sit here right now thinking about how crazy it is that Bryce was born on Jan 13th! Adam and I had tried for about 4 months before I got pregnant and I think it must have taken 4 months for a reason! I know she is watching over him and she will be on his shoulder thru out his life. Although he never got to meet her, she's with him! How I miss her! Tomorrow my brother and I are meeting at the funeral home for an old neighbor who passed away on Saturday (which was Adam's 32nd birthday) Mike Studders R.I.P. I also plan on going to Emily's grave site! It's hard to do this with snow on the ground, because her grave stone sits level with the grass, but just being there where she is on the death of her anniversary will mean a lot to me.

I don't want to end this on a sad note, so I'll end it on a HAPPY 7th BIRTHDAY tomorrow BRYCE! I LOVE YOU!

Thanks for letting my pour my heart out. Emily Brandt I miss you more and more all the time and I look at your pictures all the time!

Up-date on my cousin's husband!

Hi all. I got an e-mail from my Aunt with an up-date on my cousin Kim's husband who has lung cancer. I thought maybe some of you that were keeping them in your prayers would want to know!

This is what she had to say!Dan seems to be doing O.K. The chemo treatments do not make him nauseous, he is blotted and is always tired. He has lost all of his hair and unable to tan his head, looks rather strange. He's always wearing a hat and always has a big SMILE. Yes, he has completely stopped smoking but enjoying a beer once in a while! He will spend next week (Mon. through Fri.) in the Traverse City Hospital again for his third chemo treatment. Kim and Onalee get real lonesome that week and it sounds like he will have to do at least one more treatment for sure. His blood work has been good ( a plus) but we don't know anymore. They said some spots on his lungs have shrunk but he still has many more to go. They may try the Cyber knife next but we don't know where or when.

His wife (my cousin) is pregnant and having a scheduled c-section on March 12th. She has been good so far and is hanging in there. She did just develop Gestational Diabetes but is being closely watch. She will be 43 next month I believe! Anyways, please keep them in your prayers, as it seems to be helping! Thanks guys!
Love ya all!
