Chloe and Julia trying to touch Tyler in the chair. Eventually he started chasing them and they were all giggles.

Follow up

Today Tyler had his follow up appt w Dr Spanos. All 3 lymph nodes and parotid gland tumor removed were benign. He has a less than .02% chance of a tumor reoccurring. In a year he will have a follow up MRI. Tyler is cleared to play basketball which he is thankful for. The sutures were removed and steristrips put on. Dr said it all looks good. Thank you to everyone for your prayers and support, especially my parents. We were so blessed to have you with us while in Sioux Falls at the hospital.

Chloe's 4th birthday party weekend

How many men does it take to fix a fence?

Happy 4th Birthday Chloe!

We enjoyed ice cream at the parlor for your birthday. Can't wait to celebrate your birthday this weekend. We love you!

Gift

Yesterday we gave this to Tyler for him to wear. We've received lots of prayers and we appreciate them all. Our family and friends are so very important. Last night we went to the movie with grandpa and grandma and saw "here comes the boom." It was a funny movie but it also had a good meaning about never giving up on anything or anyone:)

Grandpas birthday month continues...

Tonight we had grandpa and grandma over for dessert and then supper. Yes, we headed to ice cream parlor first for dessert and then came home for supper. We are so blessed to have them close and provide us with so much support. Earlier this month we celebrated with a truly surprise birthday party. This picture along with a big thank you was sent to us. Uncle Rich said it best, "looks like only the motorcycle has changed!"
