New hair cut

Tomorrow Sheri gets her first hair cut in two years! Tammi Larson, our good friend, is dooing the doo! My vote is for the sassy Sheena Easton look.....we'll see how it turns out. This past Monday was the two year mark of Sheri's diagnosis, another road marker wizzed by. We have a few scans coming up in December we'll let you all know about when they happen. Again thank you for all the prayers and support. As always, keep looking up!

PS>>> My vote for Sheri new hair cut!

Life....

Well the Chelan Chase is over. Sheri was a great Queen for the day! Bryce won his class, Daddy made it in 11 minutes faster then last year (I was very slow last year), and Alyssa won some cool prizes. We made our final trek for the year to Stehekin on Sunday. The fall colors were beautiful (sorry we forgot the camera in the boat), we ate lunch at the "BE STILL" park, then sauntered up to High Bridge. It was a great trip, to cap a great weekend.
Sheri had an appointment last week with her doctor, all was well and she doesn't go again for a month. It's nice to have a break after so many months of weekly, or sometimes twice weekly appointments. The kids have a few more weeks of soccer, and a fall piano recital this Friday. Sheri is liking half time, relaxing in the afternoons and getting caught up at home. Thanks for the support in the Chelan Chase, our family was top fundraiser in the "family" division....THANKS! Thanks too for the continues prayer for Sheri's healing and strength.

Looking up!

Chelan Chase Breast Cancer Walk

Here we go again!!! On October 17th our whole family is doing the Chelan Chase. This is our second year. This year Sheri is the Chase "QUEEN"! It's a great honor for her as we race in her name to fight breast cancer. This November will make two years since Sheri was diagnosed.

We love your help! You can help by donating to this great cause. You can donate on line here: http://www.active.com/donate/chelanchase/sherilamar

Thanks for all your support!!!

Breathing room

Good scans have a nice side benefit....less doctors appointments! We love Sheri's doctors, but seeing them so much...well it was getting tiring. We don't see Sheri's doctor in Wenatchee for another month, and her doctor at the UW for 3 months. The kids are in full stride with school, soccer, and piano. We hope to head back to Stehekin on Sunday just for the day, probably our last time this year. Sheri is completely enjoying half time, relaxing and healing in the afternoons. Fall is a busy time for our business too, so having a break from doctors fits in nicely. Thank you all again for your prayers, they do work, and we can feel them...please keep it up. You may see more "dead air" here on the blog...that's a good thing though, it means we're off living life.....which is what we all prayed for.

Looking up!

Back to Stehekin....just Mommy and Daddy

If you didn't know, Sheri is doing half time this year at school. Normally she goes in at 7:30 and gets off at 11:30. Her co-teacher needs Friday off, so Sheri is taking Thursday off in trade.....so we thought why not get away for a day. So we're off to Stehekin for the night, and come back tomorrow. Sheri's Mom is watching the kids, so it's just us. Stehekin is a very special place to us. I asked Sheri to marry me on the Lady of the Lake on a trip back from Stehekin almost 18 years ago to the day.
Keep looking up!

It is well.....

Good Scans from the Udub (I knew the U was good for something!) All the spots had shrunk even more, and many were completely gone. All of us, the doctor included, were very happy. Tomorrow early it's off to Stehekin for a little R&R. Thanks for all the prayers, keep them coming.....and keep looking up.

Moving forward....

Well we spent the weekend in Pullman watching the Cougs. Yes, we lost, but there were signs of light that they are getting better! Today we are catching up around the house. Sheri and the kids have a week of school under their belts now. Sheri begins her half time schedule this week, we're anxious to see how she likes it.....I think she'll love it! Friday we head to the UW for an MRI of Sheri's head. We are praying for continues healing and great results. This scan will set the path for the next months to come. The PET scan last week(from the neck down) looked very good. We continue to take life one step at a time, otherwise it becomes quite overwhelming. We're thinking of heading to Stehekin next weekend, it's our only free weekend until November. With the beginning of school, work, soccer starting, house work, and all of life swirling around us, we must remember to focus on that He is in control, and to rest and be still.

Looking up,

Brett and Sheri
