The plan + camera fun!

We took Alice to the oncologist today.  The plan for now is to get a urine sample every month and an MRI of head, neck and chest every 2 months just monitor things. If the levels of the VMA's and HMA's go up again in the urine samples, then we might need to scan her whole body via CT scan to see things further. If the levels stay good, then we just keep monitoring...for who knows how long!? Its seeming like Alice has the kind of Neuroblastoma that might go away on its own without any treatment! That's good news! Of course with anything medically related, there is never a 100% surety of what is going on...things just "seem" certain ways. So that's whats going on for now with Alice. We sure have felt lots of love coming our way these past couple of weeks and we very much appreciate the kind thoughts and prayers. We can definitely feel Heavenly Father's hand in this and an overwhelming sense of peace and love. We know He is watching over his little Alice and our little family! :)

This past weekend, we went on our daily walk(s) in the park(s) as a family.  We have recently installed Photoshop and some other editing software on our computer. These past couple of days I have been learning a little bit of how to use these programs! Its SO fun! I think I have a new hobby.  Here are the fruits of a couple hours of dinking around... I still have lots to learn, but I'm pretty pleased with my first attempts at editing. Enjoy! :)

We are praying for our favorite little family!! Heavenly Father is driving the bus and He's the safest driver around. He will bless you for putting yourtrust in Him even if you do white knuckle the seat in front of you from time to time. We love you guys. Let us know if there's anything you need.

Ps. You did a fantastic job on those photos! Beautiful!!

Awesome job with the pics! Any tips? We have photoshop too, but I am having a hard time figuring out everything! I might just go by a photoshop for dummies :) P.S. Great news about Alice!

Waiting is a hard game to play, but I'm so glad that things look reassuring for Alice. Your pics are looking great! I particularly love the crop of the two girls together!
