Journal entry by Sara McMillian —
Hey friends! How is it February? Jack was home sick yesterday, but he is feeling better today!
Eli turned 7 the 16th of Jan. and both boys are loving Fortnite and it has been nice enough this week to play outside!
We are doing good other than the few sicknesses lately!
Jack still does treatment every day at home and every month we go for labs and 3 months we go in for a Lumbar puncture. We are just a couple weeks out of a LP (Lumbar Puncture and Jack's little body didn't handle it well this last round, he was admitted a couple weeks ago while I was a Photography conference and my momma heart felt so guilty!
I went to Charleston for a photo seminar and it filled this mama's heart! SOOOOOOO Thankful for community and a great nana and papa (McMillian) who saved this mama! We live on the same section of Land as our in-laws #blessed :)
Heath has been driving a semi a little this winter, not near as much as last year and home in the evenings. Mom is starting to get busier and loves being help provide more for our family! It has been fun to watch Jack and Eli grow during this cancer season and crazy that in 3 months it will be TWO YEARS since diagnosis.
You can book a photo session here contact me and let me know what you need! And if you or you hear anyone talking about needing new marketing headshots or real estate photos, I can do that too. Give them my info!
Monday, Feb. 19th I am doing business headshot mini's at this cute air b&b in Hutchinson, KS! Call me for details or book here!

They say to talk to people in your circles first before you engage your ideas with the world :) So you all get first dibs!
And, if your a mom who struggles with laundry, I discovered a new place in Hutch, Busy bee Laundry, and all you have to do is drop off your clothes, and they will wash, fold, and bag up for ya!
Thank you for those who send him cards and check in with us. It is a long process to get to the other side of cancer, but hopefully, August 16th is our "cancer free day!" Thank you for our faithful friends who send food gift cards, we will never be sad when those come because 2024 is expensive lol. Who would have ever thought food prices would be this crazy! :)
