On January 5th, 2011, Lily was admitted to the Phoenix Children's Hospital because she was experiencing pain in her legs and back. A week later and after what felt like a million tests, scans and biopsies, we had a diagnosis: she has a soft tissue tumor called Alveolar Rhabdomyosarcoma. A PET scan revealed a small tumor in her foot that was not apparent from the outside; it was not until the cancer had already spread to her bone marrow that she experienced any symptoms. This came as a total shock to everyone as Lily has always been healthy, active and full of energy. We love our darling girl and her sweet, happy, loving spirit. This website is for friends and family to stay connected during this difficult time.

Ohhhh, the Weather Outside is Frightful...

One of the best things about Christmas is that it gives me the chance to sing endless Christmas songs. Yes, I'm one of those people who love Christmas music! I especially like to sing songs like "Let it Snow" and "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas," both of which feel a bit ironic considering that our weather here in the Valley of the Sun is nowhere near snowy, and I've never actually experienced a "white Christmas."
Sunny, with highs in the 70s this week, the weather is certainly not frightful...it's quite delightful!!

We've got some beaUtiful flowers blooming
Chickens are growing up. We'll have fresh eggs soon!

Lily riding the new electric scooter grandma gave her for Christmas
We spent the day at the Phoenix Zoo enjoying this gorgeous weather.

One of our favorites. We love otters! Some of you know why!!
These guys are just weird.

Is that a panda in the bamboo!? Oh, it's just Lil.

When did the zoo add a taddie exhibit? (If you don't know what a taddie is, you really need to ask Lily!)

Mystical Taddie Land

Lily full of energy + no pain = Awesomeness

Luminous Lily. My little pearl.
