Here it is, months from the last update. Benjamin still complains about leg pain, but not as frequently. We'll be traveling to Salt Lake City for scans next month. Please keep Benjamin in your prayers for clear scans.

Benjamin will be finishing his first year of pre-school. He has come so far since his first day of school. He has many friends and is a favorite among the little girls in his class. He complains they kiss his cheeks too hard. I suppose one day he won't be complaining of such things. He received the cool hat in the picture above from his Papa Jimmy (paternal grandfather). It is a marine issued hat, so Benjamin thinks it is really neat.

We just came home from Medford, Oregon where Macy played soccer in a tournament. Macy's team did great! We're so proud of Macy and the hard work she puts into soccer. Macy is excited to be finished with fifth grade. She also has two soccer camps planned for the summer, one in Utah and one in Reno.

Saylor seems to really like soccer as well. She has her own little soccer ball that she throws all over the house. It's hard to believe she is 15 months old. Saylor loves Hello Kitty and insists on dragging a ratty, old Hello Kitty blanket around that once belonged to Macy, despite having blankets that I made for her before her birth.

We received some bad news last week. My uncle was diagnosed with cancer. His wife passed away from lung cancer last summer and now he is in the fight of his life. Two children with Neuroblastoma have passed away within the last month. Please pray for Spencer and Emily's families and if you could keep my uncle in your prayers, I would appreciate that too.

Thank you so much for checking in on us. Please sign our guestbook so we know you were here.
