Sunday, May 18, 2008 1:48 PM CDT Schools almost out! We have been enjoying this spring and have actually swam in our pool a couple of times already. Last weekend Joel and I planted a bunch of flower of pots.
Jacob is doing well, he is now 4 yrs. post transplant! Almost 4 yrs. off treatment (July). His annual at Cincy went well all test results were good. He is currently playing soccer and baseball. We had to take a break from tennis for a couple of months, too many activities, they will play again this summer though. He is ready for summer vacation and counting down the days.
April 9th was Jacob's 8th birthday. We had a magician for his birthday party, he was great! Everyone loved it, the kids and the adults. Jake also made his 1st communion this year, we had a party here afterwards and actually it was pretty warm and sunny that day, so the kids went swimming.
Joel and Jordy are doing well. Jordan is playing softball, she pitches quite a bit and plays other infield positions, she is pretty good I might add. She really likes it, it's fun to watch. This is Jordan's last year at the elementary school. Next year she will be in 6th grade and will be at the Jr. High, scarey. They will go visit the Jr. High on June 4th. I am so sad, time is going by way too fast. Joel is almost 3yrs. old, his birthday is on Memorial Day this year, May 26th. He is a little stinker, good thing he is so cute! We are in the potty training phase right now. I have unsuccessfully tried several times before now, but he has initiated it this time, so hopefully he will be potty trained soon.
Relay for Life is coming up here in Perrysburg, the middle of June. The kids love this event, Jake will walk in the survivor lap and we camp out in a tent overnight. Relay raises money for American Cancer Society.
Please keep the Kramer family in your prayers. Alec is doing well, no evidence of cancer after his scans, I think in Dec. or Jan. but he is still undergoing treatment until Dec. 08. Treatment is a rocky road so they need all of the prayers they can get. I just heard about a 4 yr. old little girl with stomach/liver cancer, everytime another child is diagnosed with cancer, my heart breaks a little more. I do not know any details I think she is from Perrysburg, she attends a Perrysburg daycare but that is all I know - please keep this family in your prayers as well.
God bless!
love
The Cady family
