Fun in the snow!

First thing....we are thanking God for the tests results he gave last week- showing Corinne's tumor is localized. She is schedule to have surgery at 12:3o on Monday to remove the tumor. Please pray for her safety during her surgery. Please pray for a fast recovery for Corinne. And please pray that the tumor NEVER comes back. THANK YOU!

After recieivng the great rest results, we were able to enjoy Christmas and even had some fun in the snow!

We need prayers!


I'm sure many of you already know this- but our daughter Corinne was diagnosed with nueroblastoma (a childhood cancer) when she was 15 months old. We were blessed in that it was not aggressive, had not spread, and was able to be removed. She has had a year and a half of clear scans, until her visit to the Dr. last Wed. Corinne's oncologist was shocked to report that her cancer has started to grow back. We are devistated that Corinne will have to go through all of this AGAIN. But- we know we need to trust in the Lord and believe fully that he can heal Corinne.

"Mark 11: 23“I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.”

Corinne has to go through many different tests next week to make sure the cancer has not spread. We are asking you to please pray that the tumor is the only sign of cancer in her body and that it can be easily removed and will never come back. Please pray for Corinne's protection during all that she will go through during the next few week, and for her complete healing.

A few pics

I haven't been very good about updating lately. The holidays have taken over already! Here are a few recent pics....

Caleb loves his books...especially if there is anything in the book that he can rip out!
After we put Corinne to bed one night, we later found her painting her fingernails. That incident kicked off phase two of childproofing!

The Schneider family working so nicely in the kitchen on Thanksgiving.


This is actually more what it was like.

Halloween

We had a fun Halloween yesterday! Glen and Corinne carved pumpkins in the morning.



They carved a "happy" pumpkin and a "scary" pumpkin. This is Corinne making her "happy" face.

Here is our little cowgirl and our little tiger.





Corinne LOVED the candy of course, but Caleb wasn't allowed to eat any. Maybe next year!


We went trick-or-treating for about an hour...it was COLD!

Corinne cousins Jack and Graham went trick-or-treating with us.

Jack was a scary dragon, and Graham was a cute little Pea!

Fall fun!

My friend Kristine is starting up a photography business and asked if she could take some pictures of the kids to help advertise. We had lots of fun taking the pics, especially Corinne with her giant lolli-pop! I think that was the highlight of her week!







I think Kristine did a GREAT job!

Happy Birthday to the Schneider boys!

Caleb turned one year old today, and Glen turned 30! Corinne and I are so lucky to have such awesome boys in our lives! SO hard to believe that one year ago today we were blessed with our precious baby boy! He is such a gift from God- and every day we continue to enjoy watching him grow. He's a happy little guy, full of energy, and SO much fun to be around! We had Caleb's birthday party on Sunday and he had a great time!
Caleb had lots of family at his birthday party and had a great time! Here is everyone waiting for some cake!

Caleb ate every bit of his cake!


One of Caleb's favorite things to do is play on the slide. He loves going down backwards because he can do it all by himself!




Caleb got many new FUN toys!
Corinne had a great time too!

Trip to the fair

I took the kids to the fair on Friday with some friends. Corinne got to go on lots of rides and enjoyed most of them! : ) When I asked her which ride was her favorite, she said the "couch ride" I think this is the one she meant!

This one was a little scary for Corinne. Her friend Caeden loved it!


Poor Caleb was stuck watching!

Fun at the park

Corinne and Caleb have been enjoying the awesome weather and have spent lots of time at the park lately with their friends!



One of the parks that we went to last week is also a small zoo so the kids had fun looking for the animals.

So much fun!

The states

We bought Corinne a USA puzzle about 6 months ago and she has loved everything to do with states ever since! She loves USA songs, has collected different related puzzles, and see the different state shapes in everything, including her food! The other day she pointed out that her turkey burger looked like South Carolina and actually it really did! It's weird....I know.....but that's what Corinne has been up to lately! : )
