We wanted to celebrate the kids milestones of graduating from 6th grade and Kindergarten so we threw them a class party. Grace had a park party and Tanner had a rollerskating party. It was SO much fun...that is until Grace fractured her poor little wrist. Her bones are very brittle from chemo, so it wasn't too surprising that even a slight fall could do that to her. It makes me want to keep her in a protective bubble, but where is the fun in that? Grace will go back to the doctor in a week or two to determine if she needs a harder cast. It was really interesting to see the x-rays of her bones. They look similar to the diagrams you see on hair commercials where you see the waves of damaged hair. Her bones literally had "waves" in them. We believe it's from chemo, but we'll have to do more research on that. Grace was tremendously optimistic and brave though. Despite how much she is hurting, she is such an optimist. The only time she even complained was at night when she was tired beyond belief. So....here's how this girl's weekend will go down in history-or on our humble blog:-Did her jobs, practiced piano, got excited to party rollerskating style, started to feel unwell from her chemo meds, fell down the stairs when she was tired, went to the party, fractured a wrist, headed to chemo/spinal tap Friday... just a regular day in the life of Grace. Uggghhh, I'm tired just thinking about Grace's life!
Evidence that Tanner NEVER willingly lets us snap his photo.
Eva was AMAZING on skates! She had such a blast!
Grace had a blast and really worked the skating department! That is until the fated fall...
It was Eva's first time rollerskating and she did great. She wanted to do it by herself and she did.

OH NO!!! This is completely uncool! I can't believe you guys. I'll help you create a fun... someone exciting bubble just to protect her! There must be a bubble that isn't boring for her. :D Hugs and kisses.. and no more of this! At least she looks great, and so do the others on those hip skates!
really? Not fair! Even in the cast photo, shes still smiling as big as can be. She is an optimist to admire, thats for sure! And the kids look like they had a blast at the parties. What a fun way to end a school year!!
No! That is not good! I am so sorry to hear that Grace got hurt. She is so brave! And amazing. How cool that you threw them both parties. Of course you did. She really does have a great smile! Hurting or not. It's what makes her GRACE!
REALLY? This girl has been through enough already!! I am so sorry that she hurt her arm, but casts are cool and they love it when people sign them. Please tell her that we still pray for her everynight and we hope she feels better soon. Hopefully JR and had a lovely Father's Day--we spent the evening at your parents meeting your new bro--very TALL and sweet. Have a great day and we love you all very much...give eveyone a big kiss from me...
