Happy Girls

Both our girls are growing so quickly!  Claire is doing a great job learning how to hold toys and bring them to her mouth, and Stella has become such a big girl.  Stella is feeling much better but has to take an inhaled steroid twice per day for the next month.  We are sad to see her requiring this kind of care but trust that her pediatrician hasn't decided this lightly.  We want to make sure she stays strong and healthy!

Claire-Bear holding on!
Our family is passionate about many charities, one being the American Cancer Society.  We will be participating in SUNY Potsdam's Relay For Life event in a few weeks.  This year we are celebrating Randy, our #1 Survivor - his survival story is an incredible testament to modern medicine!  We will also be remembering Ryan Reardon, a special kid we met at the Ronald McDonald House who also suffered from Neuroblastoma.  Ryan's journey ended this past September but he lives on through the love of his wonderful family and all of the people he impacted through his cheerful attitude and optimistic smile.  For just $5 you can honor or remember a loved one too through a luminaria. On the evening of Relay the glow from these special bags will brighten the walking track.  We hope you can join us in supporting this worthy cause.  Feel free to visit our Relay page:

  1. Beth and Randy, thank-you for remembering Ryan. That means so much to us.
    I can't believe how big Stella is! I'm so glad she is feeling better. She is beautiful....as is her baby sister.
    Hugs,
    Norma
