Hi Josie. Wow! what a story. To look at Ayden now I would never have guessed what he and all of you went through. I am truly happy Ayden's journey is a happy and healthy one now. Talk to you soon.

Here is a poem for rememberance day

We Remember
To those who fought in World War II,
Your life, your fight is not yet through.
From the blood stained beaches of Normandy,
Your memory lives on, from sea to shining sea.

To the many Canadians, young and old,
From tall to small, shy and bold.
To all of you who gave your life,
Rest gently now, free from strife.

With our own Canadian forces away,
We will always remember the past and today.
For overseas they still fight,
While we, in peace, rest gently each night.

The war is not yet over, the battle not yet won,
While everyday a fallen; father, daughter, son.
We know that God will keep our land,
With you we stand hand in hand.

To those who fought and those who fight,
We shall never forget your sacrifice.
With honor, respect, and care,
We salute you and pray for your safety there.


Again, please take the time today, and every day, to honor our heroes of the

past and our heroes of the present........THEY make the difference so that
we have a future.

LEST WE FORGET.

Respectfully,
Kent

Josie!

Wow, I did not realize you had started updating again, it's so good to hear some news about yourself and the boys! Congrats on the new home and the new 'family', I hope you will all be so happy together :-) Ayden has grown so much and still just as cute as a button. It's great to hear that Colton and Bryce are doing so well also, loved seeing new pics of all the boys. Please send me your new address, would love to get a birthday card out for Ayden! Quinn and Callum are doing well and growing big too and like your boys, big into the hockey. :-) We have snow on the ground right now, it's pretty chilly out there and I am sure there is LOTS more to come! Hope you are keeping warm and snug and had a good move to the new house.
big hugs,

God Made You For A Reason

When I look upon my screen
I find a happy reason
the joy that comes to me from you
is gratitude so very pleasing...

What a wonderful creator
that made a friend like you,
He placed a sweet kind person
and gave me lots of comfort too.

A world without your kindness
would be a sad sad world.

But I don't have to worry,
there's no need to be,
because of you I am very happy,
and that's good enough for me.

I've found great people everywhere,
they come into my life.
Just like you, all those others too,
have given me delight.

So I thank God I met you,
I thank him for all seasons.
Now I know for sure with all my heart,
GOD Created YOU for a reason.

Hi Ayden, Colton and Bryce!



Hope you are all getting excited for Valentine's Day :) Have you completed all the Valentine's you are going to send out...any cute girls in your class?? I bet there are! Cally and I made his handmade and then he put each child's name and signed his own, pretty good for a five year old. Quinn's are bought ones and they are Harry Potter. They both have class parties, should be fun!
Hope all is well, take special care and big hugs to you all,

Fresca, our Greater Sulphur Crested Cockatoo, is our spokesbird this week for the Haldago Bay Flock. (If you click on the picture, you can see more of them, but I will be updating the site next week.)

We just wanted to send some "bird smiles" in your guestbook. Please know you are in our thoughts and the FIDS (feathered kids) all send FLAPS and BEAKS (translation, HUGS and KISSES) to your family. :)

Hope the boys continue to do well in school. Fourth grade can be challengine (I have a fifth and seventh grader that I homeschool.) Have a great weekend!

I have a four year old son who is in JK now and I can't believe how much he has grown up since he started school. Definitely a step in the right direction for us. Wishing you all the best in 2005.

Josie,
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you so much for the update, it means so much to hear that the boys are doing so well, and also that you are ok too. That is just fantastic news about Colton, I am so glad he will get the support he needs. I never realized before, that our boys were so similar in age/school...Quinn is in Grade four and Cal is in kindergarten like Bryce:) I am sure Ayden will thrive in jr kindergarten next fall, and it's wonderful to hear how well he is! The pottie training will all come in good time, I didn't even start my boys till three, nor did any of my friends, we're pretty relaxed about that in Calgary...figure it'll get done faster by leaving it till later! I hope you are enjoying being back at work and finding it fulfilling. Have lots of fun in the snow! We're thinking of you all,
big hugs,

Tracey xoxo BWC <traceyhewison@shaw.ca>
Calgary, - Tuesday, January 4, 2005 11:47 AM CST
Josie,

Thought you all would enjoy this :)
Here's the latest from the Haldago Bay flock (8 birds.)

Tripoli and Pompeii had quite the conversation last night. Reminder: Tripoli is my two year old Yellow Nape Amazon and Pompeii is the two year old Severe Macaw. And TRUST ME, Tripoli and Pompeii know what they're saying.

TRIPOLI: (Singing) "Winnie the pooh, tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff.....(talking) OHHHHHHHHHH, baby, I'm SOOOOOOOOO good.I sing good. Yes, I'm GOOD."

POMPEII: (Leaning toward Tripoli's cage) "BAD."

TRIPOLI: "OH! (INSULTED TONE. She moves over directly next to Pompeii's cage, ruffled up.) "Well then, now I sing Hello Dolly!"

(She increases the volume, getting super loud to annoy Pompeii, and deliberately draws out every note!) HELLLLLLLO, DOLLY, WELL HELLLLLLLLO Dolly..."

And proceeds to sing the ENTIRE first verse and chorus to a very annoyed macaw!

And the best part?
When Tripoli got done, she straightened up and GIGGLED.

Have a good week! :) (Tripoli is in there talking away, right now. She just said "Ahoy, matey! Shiver me timbers, ha ha ha!"

Note: my website with the birds on it isn't currently up. I'll let you know when it is so you can actually "meet" the flock.

Hi Josie!
Glad to hear the school finally did the evaluation for you. I know you must be relieved :) to get the services they provide. Wish it had been less stressful for you to get it, though. Your kids sound like they are at the fun ages to learn different things. Mine are fifth and seventh grade, and we like studying animals, volcanoes, and environmental stuff. Young kids sure are curious, arent they?!

A PRAYER FOR CHRISTMAS


God Give Us eyes this Christmas
To see the Christmas Star.
And give us ears to hear the song
of angels from afar

And, with our eyes and ears attuned
for a message from above,
Let "Christmas Angels" speak to us
of hope and faith and love

Hope to light our pathway
When the way ahead is dark,
Hope to sing through stormy days,
with the sweetness of the lark

Faith to trust in things unseen
and know beyond all seeing
That it is in our Fathers love
We live and have our being

And love to break down barriers
of color, race and creed,
Love to see and understand
and help all those in need.

Lord, bless those we love this Christmas Day,be they near or far away Bless those good friends who mean so much and those with whom we're out of touch. We bring them all to You in prayer, and ask You to keep them in Your care.

Please know that you are thought of, in a very special way, not just this beautiful season but every day.

Cally is going to be a blue power ranger, but we are undecided on Quinn...I would really like to make a costume for him this year, much neater than store bought, but will have to scout out a book for some good ideas/instructions, as I don't sew! Hope you are also looking forward to all these fun things! Keeping you all in our thoughts,

Josie,
Great to hear an update, especially with all of Ayden's good news! I hope Colton and Bryce have a great first day at school, ours start this Tuesday, only one day left of summer holidays!!
It's good news to find out what has been bothering you for so long, Josie, now you can get some meds that will really help. I am so happy that you are seeing that light at the end of the tunnel...I can't wait to hear how you have burst forth into the sunshine! It is so frustrating when you know something isn't right, but you just can't figure out what is wrong...now you know, and I hope it will be a positive thing for you. Good luck with everything!! Enjoy the coming colors of fall, thinking of you all,

Hiya, just saying a hello, I have a few jokes for you today, this time about bears

Q: What do you get if you cross a skunk with a bear?
A: Winnie the Pooh!

Q: Why do bears have fur coats?
A: Because they'd look stupid in anoraks!



Lots of love and big…

Hello, i was watching a couple of new records being set at the Olympics today, so thought i would look up some slightly stranger ones instead of some jokes.

Here's a couple;

Most spoons balanced on the face
Tim Johnston (USA) (b. 1 January 1992), was able to balance on his face (one on each ear, two on each cheek, three on his chin, two on his lips, one on his nose and three on his forehead) and balance them for 30 seconds at on May 28, 2004.


British pub landlord Garry Turner clipped 153 ordinary wooden clothes pegs on his face at the WH Smith bookshop in York, Yorkshire, UK, on September 28, 2002

I am also very sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time. I wish there was something I could say or do to help. Know that I am an email away and am praying for your peace and happiness.

You know I have u both in my thoughts and prayers always. I can imagine its not always easy to be in the best of moods all the time. If u can though, try to remember that there are a lot of people praying for u both. Here is something Josie that u might try. Others have told me it helps. Take your right hand and put it on your left shoulder, and your left hand and put it on your right shoulder. Squeeze as many times as u want and they are hugs from me. They will also remind u that u are never alone and never will be. I love u both with all my heart and u are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear about your mom, I'm sure she's in good hands. You must have missed the kids like crazy when they were in Newfoundland! I'm going there in two weeks, it really is beautiful. I'm happy to hear that Ayden is doing so well, and how quickly his speech improved! That's wonderful. I hope things brighten up for you, you're in my thoughts and prayers,

Erin *Bears who Care* <erin_suddick@hotmail.com>
Bradford, ON - Friday, July 16, 2004 6:21 PM CDT
Josie,
It was really wonderful to see in your update how well Ayden is doing and how far he has come. The cough is a concern, I sometimes cannot believe how long they will wait to give a child an appt., it's ridiculous, they should see him TODAY...or make that yesterday! Just one of the problems with our health care these days I guess, but I shouldn't gripe, as we really have it great compared with the rest of the world. I hope they can soon dx what might be causing him to not be gaining the weight, perhaps a special diet will help. We will be keeping him and your whole family in our prayers, for things to even out for you all. I am so sorry to hear that you have been battling a serious depression, you have been through soooo much in the last few years, and absolutely none of it has been easy. I hope this break for yourself will help you to sort some things out, and with the doctors help, get you feeling so much better. Sending you big hugs, not as good as the real thing but when the boys get home, you can get so many real ones!

Tracey and clan xoxo BWC <traceyhewison@shaw.ca>

I was just writing in my (Katie's) journal about how sometimes when it seems like the worst is over we mums and dads finally have "permission" to let go of all that pent up emotion.

I hope whatever it is that is bringing you down you can get help with and that you are feeling better soon.

Josie - I truly hope you are doing better. It's no wonder you are having some battles with depression after all you've been through. Know that I think of you all often, and would do anything I could to help you, if only I lived close to you.

Thanks for the great update Josie, it's super to hear that Ayden is doing so very well with his speech therapy (hurray!) and that Colton and Bryce are doing well also:) I bet they LOVED the three hours at the park, and I bet it did you a world of good to be outside for so long; keep it up, kiddo! I can see the cloud lifting, I hope, praying for happiness for you all. Hey, Happy Belated Birthday, by the way! You aren't getting older, you are just getting better....like a fine wine:) It only gets better, Josie, it really does. I'll be saying extra prayers for good news on Ayden's ultrasound, and that he continues to make good progress with his speech:) Bring on summer, huh? Big hugs,

Hi there cute boys!
Well, it is rain, rain and more rain here in Calgary....and expected to be the same all weekend...this seems to be par for the course every May long weekend....someone doesn't want us to go camping! LOL Hope you're weather is better. Are you boys cheering for the Flames? I sure hope so! We are pretty excited that our guys are in the Stanley Cup playoffs, and being the only Canadian team, well, those guys get to have the whole country cheering for them, pretty cool!
Have a wonderful weekend,

Hello, Im sorry I haven't signed for a while, i have some jokes for you though on a worm theme...

Why was the glow worm unhappy?
Because her children weren't that bright!


Why are glow worms good to carry in your bag?
They can lighten your load!

What did the woodworm say to the chair?
It's been nice gnawing you!

Great news about the surgery Ayden! I know from a couple kids I know that have had the tubes that you'll start noticing a difference in the way you hear and the way you speak pretty quick! Hope you had a great week off school, and I'm very glad to read you are spending lots of time with your dad! ( And since I think I've forgotten to say it, thanks to your dad for serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, and making the whole county proud. We Canadians don't say that enough). Hope to hear more good news from you soon!

Hi Ayden, Colton and Bryce!

What great news Mommy had to write in your journal...I couldn't be happier that you are seeing the bright light at the end of the tunnel, and hope you will soon burst forth into the sunshine:) Ayden, look at how cute you are with those big, HUGE brown eyes!! Wow! And I love the photo of all three of you, with your Santa hats on, so adorable! That is wonderful news that the doctor removed all that junk from your ears, you will be chattering Mommy and Daddy's ear off in no time! Quinn goes to 8 speech therapy sessions a year, for his slight lisp and there is much work that you guys can be doing yourselves at home that will make a HUGE difference to your success...why not just try sitting and looking at books or flash cards, and start making sounds, like Mommy does first? Keep practicing, I know you can do it:)) Watch how Mommy's lips and tongue move with the sounds and words, it can be fun and you can make up games too! Awesome that Daddy was home early everyday for spring break...did you guys have wrestle mania in the livingroom? That's what we sometimes have around here, pretty funny! Just so thrilled to hear all your good news! Keep smiling!
Hugs,

Tracey xoxo BWC <traceyhewison@shaw.ca>

Hiya, do you like pigs? I think they are so cute, some people keep them as pets, i would love one, people always say my rooms a pig stye, so maybe this would just prove them right and give me a good excuse for the mess? You never know!





So my quest tonight was to find some pig jokes, not as easy as it sounds, i can't believe how few pig jokes there seem to be compared to lots of other animals! Anyway i did find some, and here they are

Q: What do you call a pig with no legs?
A: A GroundHog.



Q: Why didn't the piglets listen to the teacher pig?
A: He was a boar.

Colton, I am so proud of you buddy, you keep working hard on that Grade three and see what you can do! Quinn is in Grade three too, and it's sure not easy, but if you focus, and put your heart into it, I really think you can do it Colton...we're behind you!
So happy to hear Bryce is enjoying jr. kindergarten...it is LOTS of fun! Cal also enjoys his school, I guess his preschool would be the same as Jr. Kindergarten, as they will both go on to kindergarten next year:) To the 'big boy' school, how exciting!
Ayden, you little trooper...we are praying for your cough to get better and getting your tubes to help. The sooner you can get going with your speech pathologist, the better...we know one day, your sweet little voice will be all about the house, and Mommy will be wishing for peace and quiet...that will be a great day!
Josie, frankly, you have so much on your plate, I think you are doing a fantastic job holding it all together. Women are strong, as are you. I know you hurt, it is so understandable, and I hope each day will bring just that little bit more joy and healing to your life. We are all behind you, and rooting for you too!

Glad to hear that things are going well (relatively speaking) for you. I hope you can get rid of that cough real soon though!!
Josie - you write about not knowing if your grief is normal. I read somewhere on a CB sight a poem that said in part "whatever you are feeling right now is normal. It may not be the way you felt five minutes ago, or how you will feel five minutes from now, but it is normal." I've never been a big believer in grief only supposed to last so long, and so on. You WILL come out the other side, you may be battered and bruised, but you will come through. Don't compare yourself to how you think other people think you should be feeling, or how you should be acting. Do what you need to do for you, and know there are lots of people who keep you close in their thoughts.

Dear Josie,

I am so sorry to hear you are struggling with your sadness...I don't think there is any way to ever get over the loss of a child; but I pray your pain will ease, and you will have more joyful days than sad ones. I hope the safe arrival home of Bill will help to lift your spirits, and in the spring,you will have some closure. I will keep you in my prayers. Also Ayden, that the tubes will help him and he can get over this cough-cough! Please give big hugs to Ayden, Bryce and Colton, and one for you too!

Ayden - just wanted to drop in to wish you all a Happy Valentine's Day and remind you we are keeping you in our thoughts & prayers....

Josie - there is no timetable for grief. What you are feeling is perfectly normal, I know my friend who recently had a miscarriage was bombarded by all the ads and whatnot on tv with babies in them, and being around pregnant friends or new moms was something she avoided as much as possible - it was just too great a reminder of her loss...

Hope you are doing well and Bryce is over his strep...and didn't 'share' it with his brothers! I used to get chronic strep a few years ago, so I know it is NO FUN AT ALL and it HURTS! Will say some extra prayers for Ayden to finally get over that cough...hopefully with nicer weather, we will be rid of all these winter yuckkies for awhile; bring on the warm weather!!

Mama, that will be a lovely Valentine's Day surprise if Daddy can make it back for then...I bet the boys will be SO excited to see Dad!! (And you too!)

How are you boys doing these days? No more escapes from home I hope!! LOL How do you like me juggling clown? It's pretty fun trying to juggle, oranges work well, I am pretty pathetic at it but it's fun to try...if I concentrate really hard, I can usually get three going...like everything, it takes practice, practice, practice:) We are having a nice mild day, but overcast...however, the ice is starting to melt, so that is super! Now we just need a big old dump of 'packing snow' so we can get out there and build an igloo, the boys have been very patient!! Hope you are having lots of fun where you live. Keeping you in our prayers, Ayden, that you continue to do so well, and for a very, very long time!! Give mom a hug too, lots of them, she will like that very much!!

The birds were a-squawking and just bugging me in general to send this greeting for the New Year. New Years Eve they will be safely tucked in their cages, with a loud air purifier running so they don't hear all the fireworks in our neigbhorhood. We are a "stay at home" family on New Years, because so many of our neighbors put on spectacular fireworks displays. But that doesn't help with the birds, that's for sure! So, as we roll in this new year, we are going to be thinking about you, our long distance friend, and oh, yes, the dogs and cats just reminded me they want to be included in our wish, too. So, here goes. Happy New Year from: (there'll be a quiz on this later, ha ha ha!)

Sport the collie, Murphy the Shih-Tzu, Esmerelda the Maine Coon cat, Lex the black cat, O'Malley the grey and white cat, Charlotte the himalayan, Tripoli the Yellow Nape Amazon, Pompeii the Severe Macaw, Dasani the Blue-headed Pionus, Mokuba the Jenday, and Mirage the Congo African Grey...(all 11) and Sam the 6th grader, Ben the 4th grader, Cathie and Mike. Whew. By the time you get through all these, it will be 2005!

Remember, you can click on the photo to see the birds on their website. (They told me THEY own it now. Pushy, aren't they?)

Sam and Ben are certainly creative, aren't they?! They were clowning around and with a simple hat, paper towels for a beard, and lots of pillows...emphasize LOTS....they came up with these costumes that they wanted to share with you. I don't know, I think Ben (on the right) looks more like a very well fed Sumo wrestler!

It was fun to see them waddling around, and FORGET trying to sit down...they plopped right off the chairs. (That is, the chairs they managed to even make contact with. With so much stuffing, they couldn't see where they were aiming and usually ended up on the floor. They didn't feel a thing with so much padding, though!) They eventually gave up, so the costumes weren't on very long, needless to say. Thank goodness, I was worried about my pillows' stuffing!

Hi Josie,

It's okay not to have the "Chrismas Spirit;" you have plenty of reasons NOT to--the death of an infant, a son who's been through two years of treatment and a husband who's overseas.

It's very difficult to find joy in the middle of grief but I pray that in the next few weeks you will be "surprised by joy," even when there's no obvious reason for it. Joy and peace, after all, are the real spirit of Christmas--may they fill your heart when you least expect it!

Dear Little Ayden,

A belated but sincere HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!! I hope you had the most special day, and continue to be feeling fine and well, sweetie!!

I was away since the 14th, I had to go to England to say goodbye to my Nana before she took her wings to Heaven...she was 90 and had a wonderful life, so we were very sad for ourselves as we will miss her, but so excited for her reuniting with Grandad!!
We were also devastated to learn of the passing of sweet Austin, he was such a special and fiesty boy. It is comforting to know that he is now healed completely, with no pain and only joy and fun as he romps about Heaven...I'm sure the day cannot come soon enough for his family to be reunited with him, but God has other plans for them, so they will need to carry on for a bit longer.
We would love to hear more about how you and Ayden are doing these days Josie, and remember, if you would like us to include Ayden in our 'happy mail', all you have to do is email me at the address below:)

We lost our daughter to cancer, and one of the grief counselors said that it mattered not what age the child.... grief is grief, and is going to be there.

I thought Ayden might enjoy the colorful pictures. Our flock certainly is getting interesting. We got Dasani, the Blue Headed Pionus just a few weeks ago, and now we've added our fifth (and final) member. I felt bad for Dasani, because he is smaller than our amazon, macaw, and Congo African Grey....so we got him a pal! Meet Mokuba, aka "Moki." (Mokuba is Kaiba's younger brother on YuGiOh) Moki has such a brilliant yellow! He is a Jenday and absolutely adores Dasani. He has pretty blue and purple tail feathers, too. They wanted you to know they're thinking about you!

We are also very, very sorry to hear about your loss. It's certainly undestandable to grieve for your child, I don't think you owe anyone an explanation about that! She was, and still is, always be, a part of you. Wish we were there to give you a hug.

Hello to a family full of warriors. My name is Stephanie and I happened across your site while reading some of Sarah Smiths entries. Your story so moved me. I can not even begin to understand what your family is going through. Please know that you will be added to my prayer list.
Dear Jesus... You are our Supplier, Comforter, Redeemer and Friend. There is no way on the face of this earth that this precious family could face another day without You. We ask that You lift this family up above the cares and circumstances that face them every single day. Strengthen and encourage them so that when they think -- and rightly so -- that they can not take another step You will be there to carry them. Father if there is a way that we can help make us aware and obedient. Bring peace and rest that only comes from you. Bring safety and direction and favor as this family walks faithfully with You. In Jesus' name.

Josie,

Early in our marriage, I had a miscarriage. I can so relate to what you said that even though you never had a chance to "meet" that baby you lost or had a chance to get to know her, she will always be your daughter, always be a part of your heart.

To have your husband gone during that must have been so incredibly difficult for you; I know it's also hard to have to keep getting up and going to work and caring for Ayden when your heart just wants to retreat from it all for a while and grieve. You are stronger than you think, but don't be afraid, whenever possible, to let that grief come.

I will be praying for you and your sweet family for extra peace and extra comfort, extra "cuddles from heaven" during these difficult days.

Josie,

I am so, so sorry for the loss of your precious and beautiful daughter....the name you picked with Sue's help is absolutely gorgeous and very fitting. I am so sorry that you do not have your husband here to comfort you through this loss, and I am sure he needs to be with you also. While I have not suffered the loss of a child, I do have an inkling to your pain. I helped my friend Shawna get through the pain (it's never really gone) of losing her sweet baby girl 8 hours after birth, her name is Kaitlynn Randa Pitman and we speak of her often:) After her death, her mommy and daddy and little sister McKayla went through very difficult times for a few years, but things are now looking up....and there is a new baby girl, Jayden, she is just a month old and she is beautiful too. I am sure her sister is smiling down on her from Heaven and her parents are finding Heaven here on earth with their new daughter:) McKayla is proving what we already knew, that she would be the most wonderful big sis in the world:) Josie, I will keep you in my prayers as you go through this awful time, there will never really be getting over the loss of your daughter..when she went to be with God, she also took along her future with you, and that is something you will always mourn. I am glad you were able to hold her and that her father will attend her memorial. We will pray for the pain to lessen with time. God Bless you and Ayden and your whole family, we are praying for you....

This little cutie just dazzled me when I visited the bird nursery..so we've added a FIFTH bird to our flock! I couldn't believe the sizzling blue coming through..and he's only TWO MONTHS old! He's a boy (they did a DNA blood test) and he wobbled onto my finger and said, "Dah bop?" My heart went "pit pat" and the rest is history. I was lucky, because these guys aren't that common. This breeder has only had one other one...five years ago!

We are known for our unusual and original bird names. Well, this little guy is a BLUE HEADED PIONUS. So, meet DASANI. You know, like the BLUE bottled water by Pepsi? And guess what his nickname is? SONIC, (derived from the "sani") another BLUE item, ie, the Sega blue mascot? (think video games) How perfect!

Dasani will have a hot blue/purple head, it's awesome! But what you'd love the most is their smell. They have a fruity smell! Dasani smells like a cherry-orange mix! Well, we just wanted to share our baby news with you. Dasani will be in the nursery for another month or so. Bye for now, more bird pics coming soon.

Ayden,
I met you through Zoe Jo Wolsfeld web page. Zoe is a friend of my family. I have a special connection with children with cancer because my niece Katee was diagnosed with cancer(Leukemia) in 1999 when she was almost 4 years old. She is now 8 years old and is doing great. I believe firmly in the power of prayer. So I want you to know that I will be praying for you every day. Please take care little one, you are an adorable little one.
May God Bless and watch over you.

Hi Josie,

I'm so relieved to hear the great news. You've been on mind these last few weeks. Today is Ryan's 3rd birthday, and so far he is doing very well. Last year on his birthday, he was in the hospital receiving the last of his new treatments. It seems milestones like birthdays, and even dressing up for Halloween are much more appreciated. I know this may seem like I'm rushing things, but I can't wait for his 5th birthday, he will be 3 years post-treatment, and that's a biggy for neuroblastoma!! All the best to your family from ours!!

My name is Tracey and I have two little boys, their names are Quinn (8) and Callum (4) and they say 'howdy from Calgary, pardner!' Mommy (that's me!) belongs to the Canadian Chapter of Hugs and Hope...we have you down as a club kid....well, we have your website and mommy's email...if you would like to receive some 'happy mail' from us, get Mommy to email and let us know an address where you could accept mail (need not be your home)...we see you have a big 2 year old birthday coming up soon!!!

When Ayden was visiting us,here in nfld,it was very hard to believe that he had been through such a struggle. He was so full of energy and had us all beat out. We have all prayed for Ayden and will continue to do so.
Lots of love, Danine and Uncle Dennis

Hi Ayden! Instead of posting my birds' pictures, this time I thought we'd go wild. This is one of 300 pictures I took. Did you know Indochinese tigers LOVE to swim? They do. We watched these two for about an hour at the Houston Zoo. They have a huge area to lounge around in, and a wide "river" to swim in. The Houston Zoo is known for its natural habitats...some are so good, you can't see the animals. We never did spot the leopards (no pun intended.) which were hidden up in their rocky area.

Here's some fact about these tigers for you! They are found in mainly in Thailand, but also Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Myanmar, Jamaica, Virgin Islands (U.S.)
They like forest but also hills and mountainous areas. Their stripes are narrower than the Bengal tiger..but folks OFTEN get these guys mixed up! And guess how much they weigh when they are born? TWO ounces! The mom usually has 2-4 babies and by a year and a half old, they are skilled enough hunters to say, "See ya later!"

Click on the picture to go to the Houston Zoo page ..I've linked you the page where you can click on any of the mammals and see great pictures and facts. (I spent about an hour surfing the page myself! You can also go to birds, fish, reptile pages, etc.) Enjoy!

My yellow nape amazon, Tripoli, thought you'd like a picture of a bird in your guestbook. She is a show off! Did you know she she sings Yankee Doodle, Saints Come Marching In, and Old Mac Donald Had A Farm? She also says 150 different things, such as (wolf whistle) "Wow! You're a ten!" Other things are "You're my baby," and "I love you" and "Whatcha doing?" and "I want outside!" She also tells me, "I want food." She also does MY laugh then says, "You're funny!" The last time I corrected her singing, she told me, "There ya go!" like SHE was teaching ME!

We are working on "Uh oh. I taste like chicken." Aren't I mean? Hee hee hee. Total, I have four birds. Tripoli, Pompeii (a severe macaw) Callao (a Half Moon Conure) and Mirage (a Congo African grey) They keep me busy! We're all thinking about you. Good luck with getting the tests you want. (Maybe you're too nice...get INSISTENT! You have every right to demand the best tests! Go, girl!)

(BTW, If anyone who owns birds would like to join our Feathers 'n Smiles group, just click on the picture. We sign guestbooks of these wonderful kids and tell them briefly about our birds. )(You don't have to do pictures.)

Hello, Josie & Ayden.
At least it's good news so far, right? You'll both be in my thoughts and I'll keep my fingers crossed until I hear further news. Don't underestimate the power of positive thoughts, positive visualisation! (Some prefer to call it prayer, whatever works for you...) Imagine the best case scenario instead of the worst, and the universe will provide.
Thanks again for all your kindness- may it come back to you one hundred-fold.

Hey Ayden, how are you doing? I hope you all are growing stronger every day and enjoying your summer!!! Did I ever tell you we found some bunnies in our backyard recently. Actually, our dog did - the kids were in the pool and she was barking like crazy under the pool deck. Finally when we checked there was a bunny nest with a baby bunny in it. Then after more looking through it we found 2 more. So since I have 3 kids and there was 3 bunnies, they each named one. We left lettuce and water and carrots out there but it was never touched so we dont think the mom came back. About 2 days later we took them in to feed them and we had them a week, feeding them kitten milk from a kitten bottle or dropper. They were SO cute! They called them Jean, Robin and Nibbles. My son Gooch called his Jean, named after Jean Smart in XMen. They opened their eyes while we had them and by the end of the week we had them they were running all over, more running than hopping. My husband was convinced they were going to grow up and bite our fingers off, so we turned them over to a Childrens Museum that is a wildlife rehab center near us. I hope they are being taken care of, if they werent already released. I know the kids loved them and they really were cute!! That was our thrill for the summer – hope you are enjoying yours!

Hi Ayden!! I just want to tell you that are such a brave little boy, keep fighting and I just know you will have a happy life!
To Josie: I feel a particular pang of pain for you becuase my parents lost my 2 year old sister to Neuroblastoma (in 1979)...I showed my mom this site and it was too much for her to see...but she is very eager to donate to the charity you have posted..it can do good!!
I also have a relative who had Neuroblastoma as a baby and, I dont know why, but she had quite a few problems with her hearing(like Ayden) until she was 8 r 9 years old, and then they cleared up...just like that...She is now an adorable 14 year old, great hearing,smart, healthy as can be and....CANCER FREE!! I Just know you will have the same for Ayden......Good luck.....your family is in my prayers

Good for him that he can play outside without you worrying so much about where those tiny legs will get him. I never had to worry about that but always wondered how parents manage in a busy neighbourhood. I could just see my kids would've been half way down the street! Hope you guys have a great summer, will check back soon!

Josie, Thanks so much for dropping by and signing Sarah's web page. It's so nice to meet another mom who's waging the neuroblastoma battle on behalf of her child. We're in this together and only other cancer moms can truly understand the horrible, wild, incredible ride our lives have turned into. I'm sorry you've had some frustrations at the hospital lately--seems like sometime no matter how many times you say something, the person just doesn't "get it." Well, your son is fortunate to have you as his mommy--I know you're taking very good care of him and like all the rest of us cancer moms, more thankful than words can say for every day that you have him. Bless you guys!

My husband called me today and told me all about you guys. Thank you for the email. I'm SO GLAD HIS NB WAS CAUGHT AT SUCH AN EARLY STAGE.

Hi Josie & Bill
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the beautiful plaque and the thought and effort that went into it. It was nice to have met you on the weekend, and an absolute pleasure to meet Ayden. He is a doll, and such a good little boy! I hope your car ride back was uneventful, hopefully Ayden was able to nap. Say hello to Bryce and Colton for us! Take care,

Hello:

Thank you visiting our site(www.caringbridge.org/il/zoejo wolsfeld) and you are right, as we walk this journey our prayer list keeps getting bigger and bigger. We will add Ayden to ours.

I pray that all of these children will grow-up to be happy healthy adults. It is a miracle that we all hope to share in.

I will keep you close as you wait for test results.

Josie

How in the world did you get all three children to take such a beautiful picture? By the time I get them all dressed the first one is playing with mud or something similiar or Rebecca refuses to smile. They kids are gorgeous nonetheless.

It's really unimaginable how the onc-docs often dismiss us as parents. It really is a widespread problem. I have friends across the United States going through the same thing. All we can do is be persistent and enjoy every minute we have with our children.

Neuroblastoma has taught me to cheerish every moment. That's not to say I am not still angry at the disease. I don't think I'll ever get over my anger with NB. Every time we look at our sons we see the battle wounds. It just seems so unfair.

We will be praying for Ayedan and a quick resolution.

God Bless

Hi Josie,
I am just catching up on my emails and wanted to say thank you for the beautiful email that you sent. It is still shocking to me how many lives have been and will be affected by neuroblastoma in some way or another. I will keep Ayden in my prayers that he may continue to remain healthy and happy! Thank you for checking in on Austin and sending your prayers, it helps so much to know that we have the support of so many ... even if they are total strangers!! Hoping your Christmas was fabulous - keep in touch and take care.

The happiness and joy you bring to your family is inspirational. Josie and Bill you have three amazing gifts from God, Cherish them always as we know you will.

Josie & Bill. Ayden is definitly a very special little guy and is very lucky to have such a caring family. Whenever I am feeling down, I think of "little miracles" like Ayden. By doing this, I realize just how lucky I really am, and things don't seem quite so bad aferall. I know that we do not keep in touch as much as we should, but you are always in my thoughts and prayers. I love you guys!

Ayden is the sweetest little baby boy I have encountered since my own. I can not express enough how happy and thankful I am that he is doing well. Being around him and seeing his cute little smile and watching him grow has really touched my heart in a special way. He's a lucky little boy with a loving and caring family and so many people that care about him and that have prayed for him, and that has helped him to be the strong little guy that he is. Ayden, God bless you and your family.
With lots of Love,
Jennifer
