Myles went for a visit to Johnson Creek Cancer Center

Myles went to visit Dr. Holen and the Nurses, Diana and Dawn and Karen at the Cancer Center.
Dr. Holen couldn't believe how big he was getting.  He saw Myles crawling all over the place and thought Myles will be walking soon!  Myles had a fascination with Dr. Holen's shinny shoes and clasp on his shoes!
Myles kept crawling and trying to get Dr. Holen's shoes from him.  Then he would grab his pant leg and stand himself up!  All Myles did was smile and talk with all the girls!!!

 Diana is in the blue and had helped Matt with all his chemo.  The other RN helped Matt with his radiation.

This is Dr. Kyle Holen.  He was one of his Cancer Doctor.  Myles thought 

he was pretty cool!

Myles and Grandma Kitty got to see the Magnola tree that we donated in Matt's name bloom this year.  It had about 3 or 4 blooms on it!  It is growing good!!

While we grieve here on earth for our loss, our loved ones are with God doing His work and looking after us from there.  Some day we will be able to not weep for our loss and sadness but we will be able to rejoice in a life lived and the time we were blessed to be able to spend together.

Myles is growing up so fast!

Myles is now 8 months old.  He is crawling all over the place!  You can put a walking toy infront of him and he will use it to walk across the livingroom floor!  Mom is not
to excited about him walking yet!!!

Grandma Kitty and Aunt Jenny went for a walk in Watertown and stopped to have lunch at a local cafe.  Myles couldn't wait for his food!


Decided while he was waiting for his food to eat his favorite stuffed Monkey! it was a little windy but a beautiful day for a walk! Then we met up with Mommy and she took
Myles home!!



Oh Lord, I do not ask for much,

Eternal beauty, or youth, or such.
Just give me a little hand to hold,
And I'll forget that I'm growing old.

I do not ask for cloudless skies,
A life that's free from tears and sighs.
Just give me a little face to kiss,
And anxious moments will turn to bliss.

For what is there, really, that means so much
As little hands that reach and touch,
As little eyes that search and see
Only the best in fragile me?

So let me grow more loving and wise
By looking at life through their wide eyes.
For through these little ones, you have given
This grateful grandmother a glimpse of Heaven.

Happy Golden Birhday Matt!

Matt's would have been 24 yesterday, April 24.  Happy Golden Birthday Matthew!

Your family miss you everyday!  We love you and keep you in our hearts always!

He is crawling now!!

Myles is growing up so fast!!  He has the biggest smile and the the bluish eyes!

Myles started really crawling last weekend.  Now he can crawl anywhere.  He
crawls to a step or to someone and tries to stand up.  You can just tell he wants
to walk so bad!!

Growing fast

Myles was just at his 6 month check up.  Myles is now 27 3/4" long and weighs 18 lbs and 11 oz.  The doctor said he is going to be a big boy!   Mommy and Grandma Kitty thought the same thing.  He is going
to be tall like his Daddy!!

Myles is now sitting up all the times and playing with toys.  He watches everything that is going on
around him.  He rolls from back to tummy and tummy to back.  Now we have to start watching him
all the time!

Myles started eating green beans, peas, carrots and squash.  So far he likes everything!!  Last week
Casey started him on pears!  He made a little face with the sweet stuff!!

 I saw this sign and liked it!

 Myles visited Grandpa Brian at work at the Post Office.

Myles wanted to stay and sell stamps but Grandma kitty said "No"

He is six months old.

Myles enjoying his lunch!! He is 5 months old.

We are so blessed to have Myles in our lives!  He looks so much like Matt.  Every time I huge Myles I

feel Matt around and feel like I am hugging Matt also.  Myles will be sitting on my lap and talking wit

me and all of a sudden he is gazing off and smiling and talking.  I know Matt is here and spending time

with his son!  This is the best therapy ever!!

 One of Matt and Casey's dear friend is raising money for Relay for Life American Cancer Society.

Busy, Busy Busy

Sorry it took me so long to write.  It is very busy!  I have been watching Myles, Zane, Gavin and Emily on Wednesdays, Thursday's and Fridays.  I am absolutely loving it! I do find myself sitting down and falling
a sleep after they leave.  They sure do wear me out!!

Myles is growing like a weed!  At his 4 month check up he was 15 pds 14ozs, 23 inches long!  The doctor
said he was growing great!!  When you see Myles he is constantly smiling!  He is just like his dad!!!

Myles started at 4 months eating cereal.  At 5 months he has now started Green beans and next week he gets to have peas!!  He is such a good eater.  He is like a bird.  He has his mouth open waiting for you to
put the food in!!  He is rolling over and now working on sitting up.  He is getting close.  He has also found
out he can yell and make noise! He is cute to watch.
