Welcome to Jacob's Page! Jacob completed four years of treatment for ALL on September 12, 2007. With that chapter of his life closed, he will open a new one...the one that will allow him to enjoy a new, cancer-free life. Jacob, we are so proud of you! You are a Child of God, made in His image.

We are just nine days short of Jacob's seventh birthday. Wow! Where has the time gone? He is getting bigger and stronger every day and I am so proud of the boy that he has become!
Kindergarten is just a memory now and Jacob is enjoying summer vacation so far. Tomorrow he starts a class called "Kids in the Kitchen". It goes through Thursday. He also begins Kinderball Tuesday night. That will get us out every Tuesday and Thursday nights through mid-July. Then it's on to swimming lessons. I also have him registered for a science class, a sports class and a drawing class. Phew! He'll definitely be a busy boy! Oh yes...he'll be attending Crocodile Dock...the Vacation Bible School in August.
I was worried that I am immersing him in too much, but I think that he'll be just fine. The classes are only for one week and go from Monday - Thursday. The swim lessons and baseball are longer, but are evenings.
In a couple of weeks we are heading to the North Shore. It's been a couple of years since we have been to Duluth. It should be fun. We are going with my sister Allyson and her family and have rented a large suite that we will share. So far we have reservations for a ride on the Pizza Train and a lunch cruise in the harbor on the Vista Fleet. It will be nice to get away....even if it's not too far away.
In July, Jim and I will celebrate our tenth anniversary. I was going to book us (kids included) on a trip to Disneyland in sunny California, but have decided against it. Perhaps we'll get away during MEA or Spring Break instead. That will give me some planning time...Maybe we'll do Florida again instead. It's funny how Karsyn has attached herself to the world of Princesses....and how she thinks she's one of them - literally! She even wears a crown.
I apologize for the lack of updates. Who knew that 'life after cancer' could be just as busy as 'life with cancer' was. Even though there are no hospital stays and very few doctor visits....life is still busy...but in a much better way!
Thanks for all your prayers....and keep them coming!
