No, Sami didn't get her hair cut. She got to help give her first haircut. Sami has been talking a lot about wanting to cut hair when she is older. Brent decided to let her help cut Landis's hair. Sami was thrilled to get to do it.

Landis... having the time of his life! Not scared one bit!

Big brother, Dane, with Landis
Dane and Abby. Abby loves her big brother. We are on day 15 of chemo. Abby's hair is starting to get thinner, but it is still looking good. I am loving every extra day that she still has it. Abby know that after it is out she will get to cut daddy's hair off. Every time Abby looses a hair she tries to talk me into giving her the scissors for Daddy's hair. Today she said that she was going to cut off his chest hair too. LOL.
Abby's favorite guy playing with Sami's hair. "L" goofingoff helped Abby see that some of the changes will be fun.

'L" is going to be a great daddy someday.
Abby has had some tummy troubles tonight and tomorrow is her bone marrow aspiration and chemo. We are hoping to learn why her liver is not functioning as well as they would like. Please pray for her pain, nausea and that her liver will be functioning well enough to get the chemo tomorrow. Please also pray for us and her doctors to make wise decisions concerning her liver.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support.

Hello, we are a family that lives in WV and are in the process of adopting from Ethiopia. Not sure how I was led to your blog (through another that came from another etc) but just wanted to let you know that I am praying for Abby. I am also going to add her to the prayer list at our church. May God provide you the strength to endure. Deanne Broscious and family.

Michelle, I already wrote you in EM, but I wanted to add..during the bone marrow aspiration, talk to Abby alot. The Dr asked me tons of questions about Guatemala (my favorite subject : ) and I swear it did not hurt half as much and it was over sooner than I expected. Let her explain excatly what is going on and then keep Abbby talking about her favortite things (Maybe even have Sami in there?)
Great pics of beautiful kids!!!
I am praying for your family daily. I continue to lift you and Abby up in prayers!
