New Direction

Dear family and friends:

In the spirit of moving onward and upward, the matron of our family has agreed to do a family blog.  Since our family has grown so much in recent years, we decided to incorporate what we do all have in common, our mother, wife, and grandmother.  This blog is about Elise P.B. and her "downline".

We have had several requests to do more issues of the family newsletter, The Scoop, that Raquel sent out a few times in the past.  This is our updated and Eco-friendly version of The Scoop!  We are really excited (well 2 of us), and we hope you are too!  Please email Raquel for an invitation, as this blog will be kept private for family and close friends only.

Annalynn has made it across the finish line!  She's done with Chemo treatments!  She's  CANCER FREE!!!   Unlike the winners of any Superbowl, she's already gone to Disneyland (World)  So, what is Annalynn going to do now?  As soon as I find out I will let you know.

Thank you family and friends for all of your love and support for the last 27 months.  Words cannot describe how thankful we are that Annalynn is doing well now and totally cancer free.  We appreciate the kind words, notes, gifts and prayers that have been showered upon the Annalynn and our family.

*Any time is a good time  to send Annalynn your love*

I'm not certain what this means for Annalynn's World Blog - but stay tuned!!!!

xoxo and Happy Holidays.

The Return

Our favorite and ever-precious Annalynn has returned from her Make-A-Wish trip to Disney World in Orlando!  I heard rumors that the whole family had a really good time!

Thanks again Make-A-Wish Foundation.

Pictures coming soon!

Summer Fun

Annalynn and her sister, T, got to attend a baseball game with grammie and grandpa recently. They both had a great time! Look at all that pretty blond hair and the beautiful smiles.

Words of Encouragement

Dear Family and Friends:

Please feel free to leave Annalynn your comments, words of encouragement, or just a quick hello. If you don't have a "blogger" login, please click on "comment anonymously" and then type your name at the end of your comment so she knows who you are.

Thanks for your prayers, love and support! She has got less than 100 days to go!

Her Wish Is....

I received the most giggly and fun phone call from Annalynn last week. She called to tell me that she and her parents had met with the lovely people from Make-A-Wish Foundation, so that she could make her wish!

Drum roll........

Annalynn chose "Something Disney" so they settled on Disney World in Florida.

I personally am so grateful that Annalynn got so lucky to have this great opportunity that Make-A-Wish Foundation has given to her and her family. I am humbled and amazed. Thank you Make-A-Wish Foundation, and to anyone else who is helping make this wish and other wishes for other children come true. This is a great opportunity that Annalynn and her family would otherwise not have. Truly, she has been through so much in the past 24 months, (and it still is not over) she absolutely deserves a vacation to play and have fun and be the sweet little girl that she is!

Happiest Birthday!

Can you guess which of our favorite beautiful young-ladies is turning 9 today?

Happy Happy Birthday Annalynn! Wishing you all the best with those 9 birthday candles.

xoxo
