blessed

We had such a fun weekend it was hard seeing it end. Brynn had her first dance recital this weekend and I was a proud mommy. She was so cute up there on that stage, it makes me smile every time I think about it! She brings so much happiness into this house. We are so blessed.  Braden and Brynn made Mother's Day extra special and we got to see both our mom's for awhile! That was fun!!

Today was back to reality and we got to go visit our friends at the Cancer Center. Braden has been feeling really good for the most part. He has his share of good and bad days, but I think the good outweigh the bad. He continues to battle the fatigue and sometimes he feels achy, but he has been back at work full time and tries to push through it. We laugh about his inability to stay awake as soon as he hits the couch in the evenings. Ha! He was frustrated with the numbers on the scale today as they continue to go down, but he is eating better and his appetitie is slowly improving. Dr. Reddy was really happy with how everything is going. His labs are holding steady and everything is going as it should. Nothing new to report.

We continue to feel so blessed by our wonderful friends and family who lift Braden up in prayer every day. And thank you to everyone who has done so many wonderful things for our family from meals, to gift cards, to yard work and garage sales!! I know this isn't even close to all the generous things others have done. We are just so thankful for all of the wonderful people we are surrounded by who make all of this a bit easier. Today I ask that you would also lift up a beautiful young mother and wife who I have connected with who is just starting her battle with melanoma. And pray for all of those affected by this disease. We are so fortunate to be connected to others going through this same journey. I pray that they are able to find peace and comfort as we have in you, God!!
He will give perfect peace to those who place their trust in him. Isaiah 26:3

Lastly, I just had to include a couple of pictures of my little ballerina!

Very typical picture of these two!
