Adam's 8th grade graduation:

Adam was selected to receive a special award. We are so proud of him, he worked really hard. He ended up missing 7 weeks of school for all his medical, and even now has some rough days medically. Great job, honey. We love you!!

Madison's Play...

Madison tried out for a part in the Missoula Children's Theatre play at her school. She was selected to play the part of Myrtle the Turtle. She did a great job, and was not shy about it at all.
Robinson Crusoe:




Kids hanging out at the Ronald McDonald house in
Seattle. So happy to be out of the hospital!

Walking down by the Pier in Seattle, makes you love the city!


The Family down by the Pier, Seattle.


Most everything was closed, but this Arcade. The kids had fun, and it
made it bearable for Adam. He was really scared about
the Biopsy he was getting the next day.









Adam's Health turn...

Well...the pictures aren't really in order, but you can get glimpse of
what we did in Seattle. Mainly waited & did tests in hospital. We did get
to do a few fun things...









Some FUN stuff~

Well, after finding out that Adam was in Renal rejection, we
decided to take him to a few of his favorite places in Seattle.
One, down by the pier...the aquarium was closed the times
we could go, since he only got a few breaks from the hospital, but he loves
all the little shops and of course, the water!


Adam's other favorite place, is the ZOO. We didn't make it the first day,
but the doctors let him escape for a few hours, before starting his chemo...so we were able to have a great day checking out the animals & buying a few THANK YOU gifts for people at home who watched our dog, house & mail for us.
