Denver

I just got back from Denver visiting my good friend Josh and his family. The weather was incredible, we drove up toward Breckenridge and took a stroll thru the aspens, the colors were just changing.

"Scout"

Here's our new little boy.... our last little girl passed away over the summer, and this little guy is doing a bang-up job at filling the hole in our hearts... such a charmer and people-pleaser. He's also a miniature Australian Shepherd but he's really tiny, only about 8lbs now at 6 months.

Chemo Head

Wow, so much time gone by. Well, you all know the scoop, did chemo, hated it but now I'm better. This is Skyler's "artwork", the ink came off with some serious scrubbing. My hair is growing back now, it's about 1 inch, but I'll take it! Just glad to have it and stop wearing scarves.

Christmas 2005

Another fun Christmas in the Northwest! Here's Skyler discovering her Santa presents, starting with a new Harry Potter book and some hair ties...

... the rest of the family (you know I'm never in these)...

MacKenzie loved her new blankie from Uncle Marv & Aunt Kris!

Tae Kwon Do

Greg and Skyler have been taking Tae Kwon Do a couple of nights a week. Greg had already taken Tae Kwon Do for a few years before he was sick, but this is all new for Skyler. She took her first belt test, graduating from white to yellow (yeah, I'm not a proud parent, can you tell?). Part of her test was to break a board and this picture is of her getting ready for her kick. That's Instructor Joe holding the board for her. If you look closely you can see Greg in the background reflection of the mirror, waiting for his test. Greg tested that same night just shortly after Skyler, he currently has a green belt and the new level he tested for is called 'high-green'.
