Thanksgiving

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, Selena and I have many things to be thankful for (it wouldn't do justice by trying to name them all, nor do i want to bore you with a list). We greatly appreciate all the prayers and support we have received from our family and friends. Thank you!!

Selena and I are thankful that we're able to be taking Eden to a 'Disney on Ice' show over the Thanksgiving break. A few nights ago we told her about our plans - I don't think she could be any more excited!! (Selena and I CAN NOT wait to see her reaction to the show once we get there).

Eden's body has continued to react well to the chemo and steroids. Her hair has a red tint to it again, and it's almost long enough to clip bows in again.

Sorry this is so short and that our blogs are less frequent, but honestly, we just don't have a lot to report. Honestly, I am fine with 'boring' right now. Excitement in our lives is not necessary! We've had plenty 'excitement' since January 14th.

Again, I want to say that we are SO thankful for all the blessings in our lives. As always, we really appreciate your thoughts and prayers for the continued health of our little girl!

In closing I want to say: Be nice to others. Give thanks. Be safe. Go Coach Rhoads - we're proud of you for taking the Cyclones to a bowl game in your FIRST year as head coach!!

  2. Oh, happy times for all of you!! It sounds like a great time and we all can't wait to see pictures of her all wide-eyed! We too are thankful that she is doing so well. Let us know if you should make a side trip up north from DSM....we'll be here some time Friday through the weekend. It's been FAR too long since I've had my hands on that sweet little thing! :)

    Save travels to you all...
    All our Love,

  3. Dear Kurt, Selena, & Eden,
    It is so comforting to see the progress Eden has made. It shook your family (all of us too) to the core, caused us all to pause and reflect on our faith and what it means to have it, and has allowed us all to enjoy vicariously, through your joys, the reality of the message of Hope, in our call for Faith, Hope, and Love. You kept your faith, maintained hope, and truly understand how to love the moments life offers, while you can.

    You three have a special thing going on. It's a joy to see it and to know that you know it, and are being all you can be as parents, brings a validation to God's message.

    Thank you for sharing your journey.

    God has blessed you, and us all.

    Love ya. Brent & Ann

  4. Hello from Bloomfield...I am so thankful your blogs are less frequent - go ahead and bore us!
    I was thrilled to hear Eden is getting her red hair back and long enough for bows...wow!! I'm sure her reaction was priceless at Disney on Ice...so glad she got to go. My granddaughters went on Saturday @ 3:00. My prayers continue to be with Eden!! Diana
