Leia had her first ever band concert (in person). It was a Christmas themed performance. They got to get all dressed up in fancy dresses and show all the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends that wanted to come what they had accomplished thus far this semester. We have saw and heard Leia’s progress throughout… Continue reading Leia’s First Band Concert
After Leia’s birthday momma was exhausted! It was more of a mental exhaustion than physical. Leia’s birthday was the first day Lisa had been away more than an hour or two from Chris. We tried to make this a special birthday. We knew she had been struggling with everything going on with the cancer diagnosis.… Continue reading Post Birthday to Monday’s Chemo and a few days beyond
Leia woke up multiple times throughout the night. About 5:30 momma saw her up and said happy birthday then she climbed in the bed to snuggle and we snapped the first picture of the day.

Stacy and Mimi brought stuff to… Continue reading Week Following our Hospital Stay
