Corinne's Birthday Party!

Here are a few photos from Corinne's birthday party a few weeks ago.

Corinne loved the spotlight!



Nana and her friend made this awesome backpack cake. Corinne's party was ALL Dora!

Glen made a delicious brunch! These quiches were yummy!

The kids all made backpacks and went on a Dora scavenger hunt. They filled their backpacks with prizes along the way.


Corinne got a snow white outfit for her birthday. She was so excited about the high heels!

Everyone helped open presents.

Corinne was so excited to get a big girl bike. She still needs some help riding it!

It was such a fun day!

St. Louis

We went to St. Louise to meet up with our good friend Jennifer and Todd (and James) a couple weekends ago. It was a short- but really fun trip! One of the highlights was the children's museum. I think we could have spent the whole day there!


There was a really neat construction area where the kids could play with construction materials.

This 3 story slide was a hit! Caleb goes down every slide on his tummy!

The kid sized grocery store was so cute.

Not sure if Caleb realized the food was fake!

Corinne loved working on this car. Not sure if the kid under the car is having much fun!


Corinne and Caleb have never been swimming in a pool before and had so much fun.

Jennifer and baby Wilson # 2 (on the way) stayed pool side!

Hospital

Corinne had surgery on Jan. 4th and stayed at the hospital for 5 days. We are praising God for protecting Corinne through the surgery and for guiding the surgeon in getting all of the cancer out of her body. The hospital stay was a little rough until Corinne's pain was managed, but once that happened, I think she may have actually enjoyed herself a bit!
Here is Corinne on day 5 of the hospital stay. She finally got to have a shower which she loved!

After not eating for 3 days, Corinne LOVED having a Popsicle!

Nana and Papa brought Caleb for a visit. They were so happy to see each other!

Once she was feeling well enough to sit up, we did a lot of art projects.

Corinne had lots of visitors- including her Aunt Amy and cousin Jack. They brought her some fun gifts including nail polish. She LOVED getting her toes painted. (she's sitting in a wagon)

Here she is resting after the surgery.

Here is Corinne right before surgery. I went in with her for the sedation so I had to put on this beautiful outfit!

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.
