Family Love

Quick picture this morning as we were parting ways...... Greer as our photographer.....

Ian as our photographer....

Ian's appetite has not slowed down......

Yum!

Sparty On!

River of Time Experience

We took a trip back in time as a class to the Civil War. It was a great learning experience!

Gave Us Chills!!!!!

A dream came true for Easton. He was able to meet one of his favorite authors~Jonathan Rand. He is the author of Michigan Chillers and American Chillers. Easton got hooked on him after reading with Buba about how dinosaurs destroyed Detroit this summer. I wasted no time when this author visited school to approach him for a picture with my #1 student.

New Journey Begins

Prayers needed as Ian begins a new journey of radiation tomorrow that will continue for 32 more days Monday through Friday. With each treatment he will be put under general anesthetic to eliminate any possible movements. He is a very courageous boy and has proven to us so much already. Please be with him in prayer as he takes on the radiology department in Ann Arbor. Little do they know that they will have six weeks of a feisty Spartan who loves Michael Jackson and peanut butter sandwiches. We love you so, Ian!

Fun in the Fall

We had some good family time in the backyard today. Great fresh air with a "bear" (Dan)attacking us, learning to throw/catch a frisbee,picking tomatoes, and the ever so popular "ditch jumping".

Chance of a Lifetime!

We enjoyed two hot air balloons at school on Friday as they were in Midland this weekend for the 20th Balloon Fest. My whole class was in awe!!!! Even Greer's class snuck over for a peek.

Kids and Trucks

Kids love popsicles and truck beds. It seems to be the common gathering spot at our house when we are in the front yard. :)

Mr. I.C. Bear

Mr. I.C. Bear came home from class with us and had many travels to write about in his journal.

Doing what bears do.....is what Easton told me.

School Is Cool

Greer is definately in love with school . Ms. Karrie is wonderful! Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are her favorite days if the week now.

First, Almost, Last

First day of school as teacher and student....we did GREAT! It is AMAZING having Easton in the room with me. Last cycle of chemo.....one more trip to the infusion room tomorrow and Ian is DONE with chemotherapy and preparing for radiation.

Almost......Greer starts preschool tomorrow. She wanted to go today so bad. I said,"Almost! YOu can carry your bookbag and wear your new shoes today!" That seemed to pacify her for the 24 hrs. Hold onto your boot straps, Ms. Karrie. You are about to be entertained by Greer!!!!!!

Tie dye, Museums, and Zoos Oh My!

Here is the wonderful gift from the MacDonalds. He really IS a miracle of life!!! Thank you. XXOOOXXOO
