Trying to stay normal

In an attempt to keep some normalcy in my life, I have decided to post about something other than cancer. Yay!
These cute little chick-a-dees started school on Monday. They were ecstatic about school starting and who can blame them really when they look this cute. ;)
My little Emma is now in 4th Grade which is very sad for me because that means she's now one of the "big kids".
Abbie is in 2nd Grade, which just blows my mind too. I feel like she should still be in preschool.

A week before school started, we went down South to see The Little Mermaid at Tuachan. It was a fun girls trip. We took my Grandma H. with us and left the boys at home.

Do you see these people? I love these people. I love when I get to spend time with them and I love that they are going to be some of the people who are going to "Love Me Through This" time in my life.

(If you haven't looked at this link from my Facebook page, you should. Amazing song. You will probably want to keep tissues close by.) We had such a fun time at the play. The girls were so fun to watch. I loved seeing the excitement and magic in their faces. Ellie in particular. She was in complete awe of the Little Mermaid.

While we were there, Grandma gave the girlies some pedicures to start the new school year. Thanks Grandma!
It is hard to believe that the summer is over. This was probably one of the best summers we have had in a while and it's hard to see it end. It's especially hard when autumn is going to bring so many new challenges and experiences that I had not planned on.

But...we will make it through and we will do our best to keep living a "normal", happy life. My kiddos deserve that and so do I.

I am still waiting to get the results of the gene testing. My heart about jumped out of my chest today when I got a phone call from the surgeon's office. But they just needed some more info for the gene testing lab. GRRR! This reminds me of the last week of pregnancy- time ticking by so slowly that you don't even think it is possible for it to go any slower!
Keeping my fingers crossed that the test results come back tomorrow so I don't have to go through another long weekend. :/

    They are cute pic of the girls. It was fun all going to Tuachan we need to make that a tradition I think. I hope to that they call tomorrow but if not I guess we will all learn a little more patience (?sp) right? Love you!

    Abbie and Emma look the same size in that first day of school picture! That was weird, Emma must not be standing straight up. ha
    So I had a question about how to make my pictures on my blog bigger? You explained it to us when you were down once but I didn't process it. It is pretty easy?

    Kirk and I have been praying for you Rae Rae! Last night while listening to Kirk trying to say "lumpectomy" (as in: we hope that's all that needs to be done) during his prayer made me almost laugh out loud! We love you!
