Welcome To Our Family Blog

We created this blog several years ago as a way to keep our friends and family in the loop of what was going on in our lives here in Ohio.

On October 2nd, 2008 our 3 year old daughter Abbey was diagnosed with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (A.L.L.). Through her 2 years 3 months of treatment our blog became a way to journal our journey and update family and friends on how she was doing. We ended up meeting so many amazing people through this blog and were encouraged and prayed for from people around the world.

On January 8th, 2011, Abbey finished treatment! She is cancer free and she is a healthy, beautiful, amazing 6 year old. We couldn't be more thankful for her life and the blessing that she is :).

What started as a fun way to connect with others, turned into a lifeline as we walked a very difficult road with our Abbey. Thankfully now life has returned back to "normal" and we will continue to use our blog to update about this life that God has given us. Thanks for stopping by!
