"The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering."

On the 8th of August we were able to present a check for $25,000 to Blessing Hospital in my Mom's memory. The funds were donated from the National Breast Cancer Foundation and everything was made possible through my Aunt Pam, Uncle Daljit and cousin Tara. It was an amazing experience and I know my Mom would be so amazed that her memory is still touching so many people and that her story is allowing so many women to get treatment and help they need!

7 Months....

Here we at 29 weeks
in California with
Great-Grandma Davis.

We visited the beach
and the aquarium,
went swimming
(more like lounging
on a floatee) :)
and saw all of the family
for Grandma's 90th
b-day party and a
baby shower for Alixander

He is about 2.5 lbs and 15"

He can see in color, but his
vision is extremely blurry.

He is constantly exercising
and getting ready to drive
us crazy with his energy :)
