Making memories, enjoying good company and seeing new sites are our favorite pass-times. The year started out on a high that carried us through mid March. Lots of anticipation to cheer on our very own Olympian! Sean fared well and we had a great time with family in Vacouver, BC. As if that couldn’t be enough we were also able to squeeze in a Seattle trip to hang out with friends.
As most of you know in March we were hit with the biggest low in our 16 year history. Regan noticed a hefty lump in his underarm which was later identified as Malignant Melanoma. We aggressively pursued the right course of action and were hooked up with the folks at MD Anderson in Houston, TX. Reg underwent quite a few surgeries to remove skin, lymphnodes, moles, bumps, lumps and even a little plastic surgery to restore his handsome face. Poor guy was like Swiss Cheese. Not that he complained, not pleased with the hand he was dealt but never backed down from following all advice. We are pleased to report he is still Cancer Free and back to 100%. He will be monitored regularly to ensure there is nothing else that needs to be dealt with.
In between loads of doc appointments and hospital visits, we squeezed in a few more trips to Spokane, Seattle, Columbia, SC and California. We were able to witness Adam’s wedding and Grayson’s baptism, great memories with family and friends! Thanksgiving included Pres's first Disneyland visit and some much needed catching up with friends. Finally, we wrapped up 2010 with a trip to Spokane/Rathdrum for the Christmas & New Year holidays.
Not sorry to turn my back on 2010 as I have high hopes for 2011. Reg was recommended to return to active duty in the first week of the year, so we must be off to a great start!
Through all the craziness Pres still continues to thrive. Active, smart kiddo who challenges us as much as we attempt to challenge him. We are pleased with the big boy he has turned into. Loves adventure, activity, good food and friends...he couldn't be more perfect for us.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
