Walk for Life

We enjoyed the American Cancer Society Walk for Life in Rock Falls. Alethea was the youngest survivor in our area. The whole event brought tears to my eyes. So many walking miracles--especially our little girl!

Alethea with Lauryn Kuehl (Rhabdoid Liver Cancer Survivor) and Elizabeth Meinsma (Hodgkins Survivor)--two friends from our church

Full of LIfe!

"Ain't she sweet?!"

Look at my hair--almost long enough for pigtails!

Happy 2nd Birthday

Look at Me! I'm 2!

What a celebration! Our little girl is two years old--our living miracle.

Alethea celebrated with her favorite character, Elmo
