Tanner's soccer team ended their season undefeated. We are so proud of Tanner. He had 4 goals in the last game and left it all on the field. He is also loving school and working very hard each night. He has been invited to participate in a program called Destination Imagination which starts on Fridays. He went to the first class and really enjoyed it.
Gracie has been doing well, but Kim and I have noticed what is called "Chemo Brain." We were warned that it would happen by the doctor's and hopefully it should be a short term thing. For example Grace loves doing her letters for homework, but once in a while she will forget how to form a letter. She knows that she has learned it but her brain is sometimes slow to catch up, which is very difficult for her when she has written that letter many times in the past. Last night she woke up in the middle of the night and was so frustrated. She could not express herself because she said she couldn't remember the word she wanted to use. We have been doing all we can to help, but have noticed that most of the time it happens when she is very tired. She is very optimistic and most of the day very energetic and happy.

I can't imagine how frustrating that must be! You all look darling in this picture. Keep up the great job you are doing as parents.
Each new step has its challenges I'm sure. Remember that "the journey of a thousand miles begins with a SINGLE step!"
Love you!
Hi, you posted on my daughters blog(Avarie Giles) awhile back but I hadn't had a chance to get back to you. I look at the pictures of how well you all are doing and it gives me hope. I am hopeful that my daughter will walk again and dance again. Did your daughter not lose her hair? She looks amazing for going through chemo. Are you guys in the standard risk Low category for treatment? I think you gave me your email address but I cannot find it. You can email me at gilesfam6@comcast.net or leave messages on my daughters blog www.giles-avarie.blogspot.com
I think the girly thing looks like a riot! And, it must be so fun for Gracie to have a little one copying and wanting to be just like her!
Oh, and Tanner, GREAT JOB! 4 goals in the last game alone? I've been playing soccer for awhile now, and I can't claim 4 goal EVER, nonetheless in ONE game! A real Totti. :D(italian soccer star)
Cute pictures! I always love looking at your blog for your positive attitudes. You guys are great!
