Hi and Blessings,

This will be my final journal entry and what a wonderful note to end on.   

Shelby had an amazing time at Disney and Give Kids the World.  If you wish to view photos click on “see all photos” in the frame of Shelby’s picture with Mickey and then brows the pages.

There was nothing Shelby did not do.  She ate ice cream (a lot!), she rode horses, she went to Down Town Disney, she rode every ride she could (minus height requirements and nerve), she stayed up late, she went swimming, she rode water slides, she watched fireworks, she fed dolphins, sting rays and sharks, she visited with Santa, she ate brunch in the castle with all of the princesses, she had her picture taken with her favorite – Cinderella.  It was amazing!  And to top it all off nana and papa met us down in Orlando as a surprise!  What a dream vacation indeed.

Shelby and Caleb will graduate from pre-school tomorrow night with cap and gown adorned.  They are ready indeed for kindergarten.  We are all ready for this new chapter – post cancer and treatment.

Thank you to all of you who have kept up with our family. Thank you for stopping me on the ball field, in church and in the grocery store to ask how we are.  Thanks to those of you who say, “You don’t know me, but I have been keeping up with your Shelby and I have been praying for your family.”  I am speechless.  I thank God for all of you.  Peter and I both do.  Thank you.

Blessings to you all one final time.

In Christ,

The Howerton’s
