Lake Chelan

We celebrated Diggy's bachelorette party in Chelan last weekend.

We stayed at our favorite house in Wapato Point.

It was so fun to have two nights away from home with my girls.

(BTW Matt did great with the kiddos at home.)

We can't wait for the wedding in July.

Congrats Diggy and thanks girls for such a fun weekend.

May 12, 2007- May 9, 2011

I grew up in the same community as Ronan's mother and I have been faithfully following her blog as her son Ronan has been fighting against Neuroblastoma Cancer. Yesterday, that fight came to an end. I can not even imagine the pain she is feeling from losing such young and beautiful son. If there is any good to have come from this tragic and awful situation it is helping others to realize not to take a single day for granted. All of the sudden Addy's double ear infection, Matt being away at school, dishes in the sink, and laundry on the couch do not seem so bad. My heart breaks for this family. There is no reason a family should have to go through this kind of heart ache. Ronan and his Mom have taught me to hold my babies tight and be thankful for each day we have together.

Home Away From Home

We signed the papers for our new house in Suncadia.

The cabin crew (Jody, Mike, Emily, Drew, Matt, and Myself) went up last weekend to celebrate. We had to sleep on blow-up beds and there was no furniture but we still had a great time toasting our new house.

The boys have been talking about this for years but we still can't believe the dream is becoming a reality. There is going to be lots of great memories in this house.

P.S. It will be ready to rent out soon. We will offer a friends/family rate so let us know when you want to use the house.
