Favorite Foto Friday

I love looking at the baby photos of my children. With Abby's illness, my memories of when I first met her in Guatemala are even more important to me. I don't have baby pictures of my older kids scanned onto my computer, but here are a few of Abby and Landis.

Abby during my first visit trip to see her. I spent hours watching her sleep. Amy B. Do you remember these pictures? I bet I made you look at almost 500 of them. :-)

This was one of my favorite update pictures. Most all of her pictures were of her smiling. Her smile was a gift to an impatiently waiting mom.

This is one of my earliest pictures of Abby. She was the sweetest, cuddliest baby. Now, she is the sweetest, cuddliest preschooler. I am so glad that some things haven't changed.

Landis was an adorable baby. I love his eyes. He looked so sweet and quiet in all of his pictures. Who knew that he would turn out to be a laugh a minute, future football player. That sweet baby has turned into a hilarious tank.

This is the first time Abby ever saw Landis. Abby was 16 months old and Landis

was 4 months old. She loved HER baby from the very beginning. I am so glad

that we went to his orphanage in Guatemala to see him.

Landis and Daddy when we visited him when he was 4 months old.

They are adorable. I love the last picture...his cheeks..it is just too much cuteness for one baby.

We are keeping your daughter and entire family in our prayers. Our son had open heart surgery last year so while I did not go through what you are dealing with now i do understand how hard it is when you are having to watch your child face an illness.

God Bless.

Hi! Thank you for the comment you left on my blog. If you don't mind, I'd like to know more about your daughter's diagnosis and overall situation, name, etc... I'd love to add a link to your site from mine in an effort to ask people to pray for your little one as they have been for mine. Please feel free to email me kasey_krawiec@yahoo.com

LOVE those pics--especially since I am a latecomer to Abby's journey. I have your family firmly in my prayers and am thinking of you often.

Bless you all.

Hello,

I felt led here from a mention on another blog, and I've now spent about an hour getting to "know" your family. Your children are adorable, and I can tell how much you love and adore them.

I have four beautiful children, and my daughter Melanie was dx with leukemia at age 6. She also had ALL, but a rarer form of it - t-cell ALL (most ALL arises from the b-cell line). She had over two years of chemo, and I'm thrilled to say that she's now 12 and very healthy. Kids DO survive cancer! She is my hero, and I thank God everyday for her.

I will keep Abby and your family in my prayers as you begin this long road. It seems like such a long time, but before you know it she'll be done with all the chemo and you can put this behind you.

Take care,
Kathi
