Life is moving fast. We are are trying hard to keep up. I can't believe how fast Ethan is approaching the year off treatment mark. It can't seem possible that it has been almost a year since he received his last doses of chemotherapy. Each day my fears of relapse creep farther back in my mind. They have not left completely and I doubt they ever will, but there is more and more time between those ugly thoughts.

If you are still coming by here, thank you. I think of this page often, but honestly...not having to come update you is a wonderful feeling.

Go love those babies...
