Tanner and Grace were so excited because their report cards came. (kinda weird I never looked forward to report cards) They both did amazingly well and we are so proud of them. Gracie regained some energy as she read through her great grades and complimented T on how great his grades were. T's grades were close to perfect and he must feel such a sense of accomplishment knowing his long and hard nightly work has paid off.
Grace probably has one or two days left to enjoy what is left of her hair. She seems to be taking it well, but for the last couple of days has asked us not to talk about it. While watching E.T. tonight for the very first time Grace said "I will never get sick of watching this movie it is fascinating!" As if chemo, hair loss, fatigue, and nausea is not enough another side effect of Grace's magical medicine is mouth sores, which have become prevalent.
Tanner is still feeling sick and hopefully will be feeling better soon. He attended space camp today with his school and came home so excited. Showing us the many things he learned about lift and air pressure and aerodynamics and so on.
Eva also just celebrated her 1/2 birthday, a tradition that was taught to us by Wells and Beth Parker (Thank you). For her half birthday she dined on a dessert of pink cupcakes.
We have had many amazing visitors in the last couple of days who have somehow known the perfect moment and the perfect thing to do. These amazing gestures of kindness and unselfishness have made all the difference in these very difficult times. The one thing Grace tries to have us promise her on a daily basis is that she does not have to do anything or go anywhere. A very difficult promise to keep with the needs of T and E.
We want to thank all of you for your love and support and wanted to let you know we feel your kindness and love daily.
Here are a couple pics from tonight. Of course Tanner is not in them because he hates his photograph being taken.

She is as beautiful as ever!!!!! She is so cute!! What more would you expect from your kids that perfect grades. I'd drop my chin on the floor and never be able to roll it back up if they got anything different!! I LOVE THE HALF BIRTHDAY. How are Beth and Wells doing? I haven't talked to them since after their smart little daughter was about 1 or something. Tell them hi for us!!
Kim,
Love to see pictures of you guys! I love you so much. I am counting the days until I am there to give you all a big hug.
Way to go on the grades! Keep it up.
Love you!
Kim,
you look beautiful. I am SO not surprised about their grades, way to GO!! I cant beleive you found the time to make delectible pink cupcakes.. you are an amazing mother. Happy 1/2 bday Eva! Grace is as pretty as ever, although it hurts to hear about her chemo side effects. Keep up the good work, your family is too awesome.
I love the picture of you hugging Gracie. The love in your eyes is so evident. You guys are so sweet.
Pink cupcakes and 1/2 birthdays?!? Amazing! And congrats on great grades. Those are also worth celebrating. You guys look great despite all the late nights, tough days, and hard work! I admire your amazing family! And... I really love that Eva's shirt says that she's a keeper! She is most definitely a keeper. :D
What a cute idea to celebrate 1/2 birthdays. Do you do that for all the kids, or just when they're babies? Also, Gracie's attitude amazes me. You all seem to be dealing with this so well. You're in our prayers!!!
