Summer 2020 & The Bell

The Bell 

Although all lab work and scans showed he was Cancer-free, Steve's oncologist strongly suggested a few rounds of post-surgery chemo and Steve FINALLY got the ring the Chemo Bell on August 27. Since CARTI still doesn't allow visitors, one of the nurses took the video. Poor quality but I'm glad to have it regardless. Prayerfully, this truly symbolizes that this was the last chemo infusion Steve will ever need!

Summer 2020

Dad recouped quickly from his surprise surgery this spring! Here he is modeling one of my mom's custom-hand-sewn Covid masks. She is doing great also, just doesn't pose for photos as often :-)

Summer with The Kids...

1. Annie : as we speak, she is in the process of moving from one apartment in New York City to another with 3 other girls. Thanks to Covid, she spent a good chunk of time in Little Rock this spring and summer. Prior to the Broadway shut-down, she had a couple very promising auditions with 2nd and 3rd call-backs!! We are hoping they remember her when Broadway opens back up in 2021
2. Jesse : attended Arkansas Governor's School virtually this summer. He's in the high-school Jazz Band (trombone) and plays drum and trombone in the Spirit Band at school.  He is a senior this year at Pulaski Academy
3. Stephanie :  last month, Steve and Stephanie had fun shopping for a new-to-us car for her. She is in 10th grade, also at PA. She's a cheerleader at school and dances competitively
4. Hailey : accidentally visited one of her patients (who tested positive for Covid-19) without her complete special Covid PPE in July. The good news is she didn't get Covid; the bad news is that she had to use all of her vacation hours to self-quarantine for 14 days. Otherwise, Hailey, Landon, and Milo (their dog child) are doing great
5. Cici : earlier this month, Cici moved from her apartment into a condo in Fayetteville with Brandon and Buddy (their dog child). She works full time as a manager-in-training at the Buckle in the Fayetteville mall. She just started her senior year at the University of Arkansas and is on schedule to graduate December of 2021
6. Morgan : is in the process of moving from her apartment in Conway to a cute rent house with her current roommate, another girl, and Pico (Morgan's cat child).  Morgan is a cheer and gymnastics coach. Morgan also just started her senior year; she is still cheering at the University of Central Arkansas and is on schedule to graduate May 2021

This month's theme .... MOVING
