Baby Steps

Ashton is drinking out of a sippy cup, yay!  I enjoy nursing and all of the benefits it provides to mother and  more importantly child, but around 12 months, it's always a relief to have my body back to myself.  He really likes water and drinking out of his cup. 

Ash crawling thru his little kitchen.  He also likes to sing, just like the rest of us.  He often helps me hold the hymn book in church and sings right along.  He says, "Mmmom" and recently started saying "Hi" and waving.  Pretty darn cute! 

Getting pulled around by biggest sis, Madison.  The girls really enjoy their little brother.

I'm so grateful to have my three cute kiddos.  It's fun having a boy (besides Dad) in the family! 

**(Update:  My mom will be having surgery on Wednesday, the 23rd.  She really likes the surgeon and feels safe in her hands.  During the surgery, they'll remove a couple of lymph nodes to test for cancer.  If there aren't any cancer cells in the lymph system, they'll do a lumpectomy, if there are, they do a mastectomy.  Hopefully, they won't find any of the cells in there.)

Mom



It seems surreal to say this, but last week my mom found out she has breast cancer.  The cancer is in stage 2.  I only know a little about the different stages.  She met with the oncologist last Friday and he said this type of cancer has a 99% success rate with treatment.  That's good news!  She meets with the surgeon tomorrow and should be having surgery very soon.  After that, she'll meet with the radiologist and start treatment.  I know Heavenly Father is watching over us and holding us up right now.  I'm so thankful to have the knowledge of our Father in heaven and our Savior Jesus Christ.  I am forever grateful for their unconditional love for all of us.
