Really sorry it’s been so long!  I am doing really well.  Things are getting back to normal.  I’m getting stronger and feeling more like my old self everyday.  The kids keep me going and staying busy.  We are doing the summer doc, dentist, ortho visits and getting all of that taken care of before school starts back. However, we have had some down time.  We’ve done a little resting.

Incase any of you don’t check my friend Christie’s blog, she had her baby on Friday June 20th.  She is beautiful and perfect and her name is Laney Grace.  The “Grace” part explains itself and “Laney” means “Bright Light”.  Plus, “Lane” is Christie’s middle name.  She weighed 6 lbs 10 oz. and was 20 inches long.  She was a month early!  Isn’t that cool??  I went over there on Friday to see them and take some pictures.  They both looked amazing!  Just perfect.  Christie will be having some scans tomorrow to make sure there is nothing left of the cancer she once had.  Please pray for her.  She is very anxious about them.  She and I talked today, and I told her I knew exactly how she felt!!  It’s really so nice to be able to talk to someone who knows exactly how you feel. 

Again, I just want to apologize for not getting on more often and updating on my life and it’s happenings.  Like I said, I am just trying to get back to my normal self….physically.  I don’t know if I’ll ever be my old self mentally….(chemo brain!)   and I don’t want to be my old self spiritually.  The hair is on it’s way back.  It’s really thickened up.  My eyebrows and eyelashes are coming in too!  Thank goodness!!  Thursday I go for my “booby pump.”  I am half way through with that.  So far, it hasn’t been bad at all, not really even uncomfortable.   Brynn went with me last time.  I was kinda worried about taking her in there for fear that she would think a doctor would one day stick needles in hers and pump them.  But Jane (my doc) made her right at ease.  She’s hillarious anyway.  She just started giving her a hard time about being short and told her she needed to drink more milk.  By the time she was finished, Brynn was helping her. 

Kids are so funny, and it has been quite an experience with mine.  For instance, if Luke (our 2 year old) is around you might want to watch out because he might pull up your shirt looking for your “owies”.  Also, the other night I walked in on he and Brynn trying on my boobie pads under their shirts.  It was quite hillarious!  Brynn has become my style consultant on my hair…telling me that I shouldn’t wear it like a boy!  (How else am I gonna wear it?)  Anyway…..there’s really never a dull moment.

Thanks again for all of your support.  You guys are all so wonderful.  I pray God’s richest blessings on you guys.

Love ya,

Angela
