The many faces of Carlie...
Carlie recently discovered that when I take a picture of her, she can see the results immediately, which lead to this photo session...
Overdue post!
WOW, I can't believe it has been so long since my last post. We had such a short summer this year that we were trying to fit in as much as possible and well, I guess I got lazy on the whole posting thing. We didn't do any traveling this summer, but we spent many hours by the pool, hanging out with friends, taking the boat out on the river and of course, visiting the "Happiest Place on Earth". Here are just a few pictures from the summer...
Over the summer, Caiteyn decided that she wanted to play soccer this fall and so we signed her up for AYSO, the only problem, she also wanted to try out for the dance team at her studio. After talking and thinking it over, we decided that she would do both. Soccer is from August to November (games don't start until the middle of September) and dance is a year long commitment. So far things have gone really smooth; we make sure homework is done when she gets home from school and then on Tuesday and Thursday we have soccer and Wednesday and Friday we have dance. She seems to handling the schedule well and I really wanted to give her the opportunity to find what it is that she loves.
This summer also brought some bad news for our family. My dad was diagnosed with Adenocarcinoma of the Esophagus in July and after being told that it was an aggressive, fast moving cancer, nothing was done for WEEKS! This past week he finally had an endoscopic ultrasound and liver biopsy done and we were so happy to hear that the cancer is contained within his esophagus. This means that surgery CAN be done along with radiation and chemo. Please keep my dad in your prayers as surgery has a long recovery and of course, chemo and radiation are never easy on a person.
