Your prayers are needed

Andon, our little ring bear, had a MRI today and the results show a 20% growth since the last MRI. They did not receive treatment today at Riley and will not longer be able to qualify for the treatment due the growth. They are looking for other treatments either in Chicago or South Bend but all the detail are not for sure. Please keep Andon, Brian & Janel and the rest of our family in your prayers as we continue the fight.

Its bought!

We bought the dress! It was quite a day on Saturday, we started off with breakfast and they headed to our first appointment. We tried on quite a few dress there but still didn't find the right one. So we went to the next appointment at the French Door and tried on the one dress that I have been thinking about since the last time we tried on the dress. As my friend, Dana zipped me up and I was walking out the door of the dressing room, I knew that this was the dress for me! Since we had decided on my dress we deiced to look for the bridesmaid dresses since they were all along too. After a process of elimination we narrowed it down to a dress that is simply elegant and looks stunning on the girls! Now for the excitement of the day, about an hour after our dresses were all bought my older sister Nicole ended up taking my mom to the ER. She spent two nights in the hospital for high blood pressure, high heart rate and was diagnosed with a small case of Bell palsy. What a scare that was for all of us, however she is back at home doing great. Jeff spent the weekend back at home with a big auction on Saturday, which has kept him busy most of last week getting every thing lined-up. We are both looking forward to Thanksgiving and to be able to spend some time with our family and together.

Sorry for not keeping you all up-to-date with everything going on. We both have been quite busy with our daily lives but are counting down the days till Thanksgiving and we are together again. Not many plans have happen with the wedding either, kind of slow time but this nice too. On Saturday, I will be going dress shopping with my mom, sisters and my personal attendant! We are going to going to two different shops so hopeful we find the 'one.' We did ordered our Save-the-Date magnets which you should all have a little after the first of the New Year. We do however have some exciting news share, our little brother, Huibert, is going to move back to the US and go back to school. We are super excited to have him back. I will keep you all updated on the dress situation!
