Sweet Sisters



I love these pictures of Madelyn reading to Sara. This was two weekends ago.Jason and I got up we wondered why they had not woke us up yet. Sara woke up and went to her sisters room to lay with her. Madelyn decided to let us "sleep in" and kept Sara occupied by reading books to her. They are at such great ages right now. I love that Sara goes to Madelyn in the morning and then they usually come in together to say good morning. Madelyn is really such a good big sister (accept if Sara wants some of her candy :)

Me

Usually the blog is for sharing fun family times, but I wanted to take a moment to share an experience that I am going through so maybe someone else will not have to. To all of my fellow friends and family who are fair skinned and have moles. For me it is really not a big deal, but it could have been. Thanks to my husband who kept bugging and bugging me to go get some moles checked out on my back and behind (of course his favorite view :) They were concerned about five of them initially and one of the first ones they removed came back Melanoma. I am very lucky that they caught it now, because it is the most serious form of skin cancer. They think that they got it all (thanks to my 2 inch incision on my butt!!!). Anyway, they still have three more to remove and hopefully they are benign. I hope to be an example for everyone else to listen. I am the typical busy mom who does not put her health as a priority, but if I don't I wont be around to see my girls grow up. That was what really set in. Thanks to my husband for saving my life, for real. I know that I would not have ever seen it or thought to take the time to go and get it checked.

Trick or Treat 2008

Dora (aka Sara) and Sandy from Grease ( aka Madelyn) had a great time trick or treating at the park behind our house. Grandma, Papa, Nana, Poppie and Uncle Adam and Aunt Danelle helped spread the Halloween spirit. After lots of playing and candy we headed back to our house for some dinner, drinks and MORE candy. Hope everyone had a safe and fun filled Halloween!
