Well we have great news. Andy had his 6 month check up this morning, and everything looks great. He does not have to go back in for another checkup till July. If that one is ok, then we will only need to go once a year.

It has hard to believe that it has been 4 years ago this coming Thursday that we first learned about Wilms. Laura and I were talking about it this morning, we both remember it like yesterday.

Andy is growing taller and taller. This morning before we went to Kansas City he was putting his bowl in the dishwasher and we noticed that his jeans were a little short. Laura asked him if he had Robby jeans on and he said that they were a 10, sure enough. We just bought him about 4 pairs in November, and he is outgrowing them already.

Laura is getting ready to take her test this coming weekend. She will be graduating this coming May with her Master Degree in Education Administration.

Marissa and Robby are both doing well also. Marissa is looking forward to the end of the school year/middle school. Robby and Andy will be playing basketball again this winter, but this time on a team in the Topeka Park and Rec. league. We bought a goal basketball goal for them and they are loving it.

I better get going, I have a few things to do today since I took the day off. We would like to thank you all for your support and prayers, it does make a difference.

God bless you,
Dave
