We hope you are all doing well and are enjoying your 4th of July! We worked most of the day. We built a sandbox for Isaac and then tried to put the swimming pool up which started a long afternoon of a lot of work with not much to show for it. We are waiting for Dad to get home to help us. We got it all cleaned out and all of the chemicals and stuff ready and then filled the top ring with air and started the hose running with water and all of the water ran to one side so it's only about 1 foot deep when it's supposed to be 5 feet deep. So I don't think that will work. We are making a 4th of July supper. Grilled steaks and potatoes and cheesy garlic bread with a couple of salads if we get around to making them. We don't get to have fireworks this year because it's too dry here so the kids are pretty bummed out about that. Hope you have a wonderful day!

God bless and *warm hugs* ><>†<><  Lighting Children’s Lives Caged Kids Raise Awareness *Jennifer C* from Lighting Children’s Lives, Caged Kids & Friends of Allie/Raise Awareness <jenniferc@ilovetcolor.com> Eugene, OR USA - Wednesday, April 6, 2005 3:26 PM CDT MAW is coming SOOOOOOONNNNN!!!!! I am so excited for you - Stephen LOVED his trip! If you are going to be staying at Give Kids the World (or if they are putting you up in a hotel) they will supply you with a badge that lets the parks know you are on a Wish trip. That badge will get you free stroller(s!) so don't bother taking one, assuming Shane is strong enough to walk up from the parking lots, which I know he is. I brought a stroller and ended up having them hold onto it while I used their strollers! LOL! There is stroller parking all over the place while you are on rides.... I am SO EXCITED FOR YOU!!! What a great birthday present for Mr. Little Man over there!!! Hugs and kisses, y'all...

Kayla has become an excellent helper, getting things, new sizes, opinions valued...etc. Shane was a good boy. got his 2 hour nap, cooperative throughout the LONG day. BUT in church he is a WILD man. Heard he slept in his new bed WAY TO GO SHANE JR! My shopping is almost done. got the giving tree gift to get, couple of stocking stuffers and all done. Not decorated as Renee is though. my house is in a shambles. redoing living room. walk with caution as you enter. The furniture in middle of room, all things in entertainment center in play room in boxes , furniture in dining room too. only one way around...a narrow path into kitchen...........painting is done , now a touch up here and there. Uncle Ed doing new molding around windows and walls.Then need to stain, i wanted it stained first!!!!!!!!! Change door. then move things back. Wait awhile before fireplace mantel is built. but once done will look very nice. rug will be changed but will wait for total redo of downstairs.....or it will get ruined!!!!!!!!!!! so i most likely will not decorate again this yr, second yr in a row, due to reconstruction . will do a tree if boxes out of room by then. Talk with ya soon . Ant Shirley East Haven, CT - Sunday, November 28, 2004 12:04 AM CST Shane and Kayla...you two were excellent today! Especially since it was a very L---O---N---G shopping day!

God Bless you, Island Princess Butterfly Island  Island Princess <mooks@bellsouth.net> - Wednesday, August 25, 2004 6:55 PM CDT Well, I think Shane and Kayla had a great time on Fri. and Sat at the church carnival . I enjoyed myself too. it was a pleasure to see excited faces when on and off the rides. remember when life was as simple as when we were children. the hardest thing to decide was which ride to go on first and which one was our favorite?? Life is much too short to waste it on trivial worries that seem to crowd their way into our daily lives. Let's get out there everyone and enjoy life like children do. Have a picnic and stare up at the clouds and try to fiqure out what shape we see....remember that????????? I start work on Fri. ..boy am i going to miss the kids and the time spent at the beach...we have quite a routine down there. Ant Shirley East Haven, CT - Sunday, August 22, 2004 5:59 PM CDT Clear Scan is all we have prayed for these past few weeks. AMEN to all our prayers. I love to see him in all his moods from happy , tired and grouchy...it means he is a regular toddler...doing what toddlers do best....push the buttons and see how far he can get......some of us are more likely to give in easier than others. As we know he still needs disipline...that's so hard to do with any toddler...esp one who has been through so much in such little time ...we do have to thank God for giving us a healthy boy now...we will always pray for continued good health for Shane and ALL children!!!!!!!! : ) Beach days are now numbered for me 8 more days for me. I start Aug 27 th fri. can't wait till June of 2005. but don't want to wish life to go by quickly...there is so much to do, see and enjoy! Ant Shirley East Haven, CT - Wednesday, August 18, 2004 7:31 AM CDT YAY, lilshane!!!!! Congratulations on your great scan results!!! God is SO good, and He loves you SO much!!!

I got some for my kids as well..and I tasted one,,,and they really do taste like a gumball. If you are worried he may choke..cut them in half. He will feel like a big kid with it... Good luck!!

Ant Shirley East Haven, Ct - Thursday, January 1, 2004 7:33 AM CST  Angel Chris ~ Smile Quilts ~ chrisrusso_@hotmail.com - Thursday, January 1, 2004 0:21 AM CST Holding that weight...good for you. He is going into the home stretch...Jan is upon us and soon the final phases of chemo! ( we pray every day that it will be the end) Hang in there little boy.we are all praying for you, to have the strength to get thru this and ourselves to have the strength to endure whatever is in the future. Hopefully nothing but childhood stuff..playing, driving mom and dad crazy, bothering Kayla, school and homework, dances, proms, graduations....... there all grown up already. I don't want to rush it though , just thinking positive, good thoughts. See you next year...tomorrow in fact...with lots of kisses and hugs as always. Are you all staying up to watch that apple fall...doubt i will...but stranger things have happened. i know Kayla is planning to stay up and PARTY. She told me the menu and i got full before i ate breakfast!!!!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR AND HEALTH TO ALL Ant Shirley East Haven, CT - Wednesday, December 31, 2003 1:26 PM CST Did you check out the quilt? these angels are the best!!!!!! Happy New Year, Healthy New Year, Loving New Year! Ant Shirley East Haven, CT - Saturday, December 27, 2003 9:42 AM CST Well , did SANTA come to your house??????? I am sure of it , since you have been a good boy. Any one who has to endure chemo and radiation deserves a whole bunch of gifts! Plus, any sister or brother of a person recieving chemo and radiation deserves just as many...cause they get lost in the craziness of treatments and illness at times. Sometimes they don't get as much attention and loving that they need ..just because of circumstances the way they are. But remember big sister...we all love you, spoil you and are sorry if we have neglected you in any way. Let's hope for a FANTASTIC AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR !!!!!!!!! Merry day after Christmas to all. Let's relax and recuperate from yesterday. Love to all. I will be over to see ALL the gifts, soon.

I was at Yale today serving there too, but it was early. i was out by 3. if it took longer i was going to stop and see you ........ but it was a good thing for all of us that we were out fast..toooooooo many germs in that place. see ya on Christmas Eve in church and at grammas. Merry Christmas to you and the whole family : ) Ant Shirley East Haven, Ct - Tuesday, December 23, 2003 5:43 PM CST I hope Santa was watching Kayla and Shane in church last night. They were the best they have ever been! Well Kayla always is good, Shane can get a little loud at times. But last night ...you didn't even know he was there...except for the mess he left on the floor that Gram had to sweep up!!!!!!!!! Rice Krispies were EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!. God doesn't mind but the church cleaners would. No more rice krispies in church we should stick to Cheerios or Foot Loops. enjoy the few days before the hustle of Christmas. May God give you a happier New Year. Ant Shirley East Haven, CT - Sunday, December 21, 2003 5:33 PM CST well, you did feel a little heavier last night when i held you at Kayla's wonderful concert.

My son Sam was dx with pleuropulmonary blastoma in october 2000 at the age of 7 months. There was no chemo available as it is such a rare cancer so he was treated with a chemo for rhabdo MMT98.

There are some rhabdo kids there. I will keep your family in my prayers & be back to see how you're all doing soon.
