Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls. ~ Jeremiah 6:16
November is almost over, and while we have enjoyed the down time from therapy we still have barely scratched the surface of all the things that need doing around here. That said we have been busy. I am another year older, perhaps not wiser. At 37 I made a list of 37 things I wanted [...]
I think most North Americans are somewhat familiar with Groundhog Day. On February 2 nd we await to see if the little guy will peek out of his hole and see his shadow. Supposedly, if he sees his shadow then it is six more weeks of winter, and if he doesn’t then we will [...]
I am always crafting something and recently I crocheted this bunny for Hannah. I found her pattern for free on Raverly, you can find the pattern here. I chose to go with a slightly heavier yarn than it suggested. Only because I really loved the feel of it. It was an alpaca wool blend, [...]
You know there is always two ways to look at something, and sometimes even more than two. Last night as I tucked Joel in to bed he looked at me and said, “I can’t wait for tomorrow!” “Oh why’s that?” I asked “Cuz I get my Easy Pod!” I always try to prep him the [...]

Today is an anniversary of sorts. Three years ago today our world was turned upside down. I remember all the details of that day more vividly than I do the birth of my children. I can hear, smell, see, and feel that day almost as real as this very day. I have already shared my [...]
UPDATE: We found Jenny! (Thanks) Just a quick one. Prayers for Joel for tomorrow. Long test. He has to be at the hospital for 8 am fasting, his test can run up to 6 hours long. He has to fast the entire time. Valentine’s Day at the hospital usually means chocolate and cupcakes not fun [...]
For Joel the surgery to remove his tumour was devastating, with so many side effects. Yet, because of that surgery he is here today without it I would not have my sweet 7-year-old, so we will gladly battle the side effects. One of the things effected by the surgery was Joel’s eyes and sight. Many [...]
I feel like I am starting over. It has been so long since I sat down to blog. I don’t know if I have ever gone a whole month without blogging, it certainly was not my intention to stop blogging. It really was a case of the same ol,d same old problems, I have been [...]
When we are blessed with a child we feel overwhelmed with the task that lays ahead of us. We have this new precious blank slate with which to write on. How wonderful, and intimidating at the same time. I think of all the things I need to teach my children before they grow up [...]
I know September is more than half over and I am just posting this now. However, if you follow me on Facebook you know I have been plugging it there too. I am not sure if there is anyone who has had a child with cancer that can then walk away from the cancer community [...]
I am so late writing about Joel’s birthday, it was on the 14th of this month. We were late getting in on the 14th that I decided to write about it the next day. Unfortunately, the next day we were hit with the news that one of Joel’s fellow cancer fighters was not doing so [...]
An Update It has been a long time since I have given an update on Joel. Which I guess is a really good thing. I can remember the days where the updates came daily, and for some of you even hourly. Some of that seems like a lifetime ago, and some of it just a [...]
Friday was an incredibly busy day. Any day around here can be busy but Friday really had me flying. Dave came off his night shift and headed to bed and I was busy with everyday stuff, but I was also getting ready to head up to the Children’s Hospital with Joel. I woke Dave up [...]
