Happy Birthday Carly!!!  We love you.  Enjoy your special day.  The first b-day without chemo, hardware or cancer!!!  Its definitely a day to celebrate.  You have been through so much in 3 years and it hasn't even phased you.  I am so proud of how far you have came and how strong you are. 

Carly is feeling better and her pain is gone.  She grew a bug out so we know she had a UTI.  However, the medicine worked quickly and she is back to normal.  We are heading up  north tomorrow night and we can't wait!!  Carly is so excited.  Its feel good to finally be normal. 

I know I haven't officially announced it yet but I found out I was pregnant.  I am due 1/15 and we are so excited.  Carly can't wait to have a little brother or sister.  We were suprised it happened so quickly but we are blessed to be giving Carly a sibiling.  Another child just means twice the love.  We can't wait.  What a great year!!!!
