Prayers For Emilie

I learned yesterday that a friend from my wedding planning days, Emilie, is in hospice care. She has been fighting cancer for over a year and now there is no more that can be done. She and her husband have two very young sons, and all of us who know and care for her are devastated by the news. We'd always held hope though at times the outlook was very bleak.

So please keep Emilie and her family in your prayers.

Big Birthday Highlights!

Anna's birthday party was Sunday, November 2nd, at our house.

Opening some gifts, with Sasi's help






























Trying out the new dollhouse




































Big smiles for the pink cake































I had no idea where to put the candles















Anna's first bites of cake were all frosting! She's eating her piece off Great-Grandma Kellen's dishes!


















Anna reminds me of Katie Couric in this picture.
