Miracle Max has been through surgery (last Friday) and is finishing his first round (five treatments) of chemotherapy today. Pray that he has good blood counts so he is able to recuperate at home until his second round of chemo. Max has a website you can visit at www.caringbridge.org/visit/maxh to get regular updates.

Princess Katy seems to be happier every day. She squeals with joy when eating, at bedtime, during diaper changes and whenever she pleases. Her new trick is sitting on her own (with close monitoring), and we expect she will crawl before long. Grammy joined us for dinner on Sunday, and Uncle Stephen and Aunt Ashley dined with us on Monday. The Princess does not like peas, but will have to tolerate them a regular part of her diet.

Meet Miracle Max

My handsome nephew Maxwell (Max) is six years old, and in need of prayer for another miracle in his life. Max was born two months premature and was released home early, hence his nickname, Miracle Max.

Max is a caring, smart, and athletic kindergartner in central California. Yesterday, Max had a CT scan that revealed a kidney mass that is a advanced/Stage Four Neuroblastoma. He is at the children's hospital for removal of the cancerous mass today. Pray for miraculous healing from our Lord Jesus Christ; and for strength for daddy Sam, mother Dawn, big bro Wonder Wes, and Lovely Lyla Grace his little sister.

Princess Katy was exuberant after a beautiful spring walk and her daily bucketswing fix. The Toddfather sounds like a prize dork in the vid and plans to load autotune software so he can sound more like Snoop Dogg or Tony Bennett. Props to the Pearsons who did the Princess' bedtime reading last night, and BIG props for the bottle o' grape juice they brought with them to the castle.

SWEET - Five months old!

Princess Katy turned five months old yesterday and had a very busy day. The Toddfather had to get an adjustment for his whack back, so the Princess charmed everyone at Dr. Glass' while Daddy got his back cracked. Katy visited her first electronics store in an emergency to fix our bigscreen. All the TV displays were mesmerizing as the Princess doesn't watch TV. Her big day was topped off with a visit to meet the Sweet girls (pic above) from Mommy's small group. Katy loved meeting everyone at youth group, and made time in her busy schedule to pose for a great Bday photo shoot.

Head of the Sunday School Class

Check out the pix of all the Easter Week excitement. The Princess acquired massive new real estate in her groovy Joovy Room. It has plentiful space for performing flip-flops and multiple toys with room to spare. The Toddfather got cookin' for the Carlson fam who visited from Cali. Aunt Suzy is very excited the Carlsons appear to be returning to Texas this summer. Thanks to the Carlsons for the ginormous peach pie, ice cream, roses, and baby flair. Mommy and Daddy returned to Church for Easter service, so the Princess went straight to the head of her Blue Sky Sunday School Class. Aunt Ashley and Mommy whipped up an incredible Easter Brunch - Thanks ladies. Also on Easter, we visited Great Granny where the Princess bonded with cousin Bridget and giggled with Grammy.
