The Simple Things In Life!




Just a quick update. Maddy is doing well. She goes back to the clinic for a check up and her monthly chemo treatment next week. We will be able to see by her blood counts how she is handling the maintenance phase. She participated last Friday in her first Relay for Life. What a wonderful event! Both fortunately and unfortunately, it was a reminder that we are not alone.

Maddy is still packed for our trip this summer. Unfortunately, there was a glitch in the travel plans, so we will not be going until mid July. Our dolphin swim has had to be postponed for another time, but we are looking forward to staying at the Give the Kids the World park at Disney. We have heard this will be an experience that we will never forget.

Finally, over the last several months, our family has learned to appreciate the simple things in life a little more. We have found ourselves getting excited over "things" that we would not have normally even noticed. Take for example, this past Wednesday. Maddy woke up and got out of bed. She came into the bedroom to ask me to help her pick out a shirt to wear and I was so excited (enough to go get a camera and take pictures) that she had Bed Head! That's right- BED HEAD! Maddy's hair is finally getting long enough that it is starting to stick up after being slept on. We had not seen Maddy with Bed Head for quite some time and it was an event worth noticing.

I hope all of you can take a step back and find those simple things in life worth noticing!

    Yeah Maddy!
    Look at the beautiful bed head "do"! I like your new look :-) I think I see a really good looking tooth and another coming in. Your smile is filling out nicely.

    Have a marvelous time in Florida. I LOVE Disney World and plan to go back some day. You'll get a VIP version and I hope you enjoy every minute of it.

    Love
    Mrs. Hill

    Hi Maddy!

    I was so surprised to see your hair grown back. You look so pretty---but you are always pretty no matter what!
    Have fun at Disney. I liked Thunder Mountain when I went. You will have so much fun! I want to see pictures of you at Disney.
    Maybe I will see you at the ballpark sometime this summer. I miss you!

    Love,
    Mason

    Hi Maddy,

    Love the bed head! Looks good on you. I was glad to get to see you at the ball park the other night playing with Macy and Grace. It looked like you were having fun! I bet you can't wait for Disney. You will have a great time. Take lots of pictures. See you soon! Keep smiling!
    Love you,
    Mrs. Buehrer
