We girls love to shop.

At the Window

I’m on neighborhood watch…

From Ashley:

We had to rearrange the furniture because jumping on the couch and playing with the blinds was way too tempting. Lillian loves the window.

Ashley Update

Me and my Dad

Ashley went today for her regular check-up at her oncologist (the picture is of Lillian and her dad sending her off to the doctor), and is doing okay. Aside from pretty constant joint pain and occasional nausea, she has been feeling reasonably well (knowing that your cancer drug is working helps!). She’s lost all of her eyebrows and her eyelashes are going fast, but she’s maintaining enough hair on her head for a Marine-style buzz cut.

She visited her dermatologist a few weeks ago and had some suspicious spots removed from her skin. One was a basal cell carcinoma: these are a common side effect of Zelboraf, which slows the growth of melanoma, but can accelerate the growth of basal cell cancers, the other common form of skin cancer. Thus, she makes regular visits to the dermatologist for full-body mapping of skin growths: he removes anything suspicious.

Thanks for your prayers and support!

Not Camera Shy

I’m ready for my close-up, Mr Demille.

Lillian and Tails

Thanks, mom!

There are certain things that excite mothers and grandmothers: one of those things is when their 21-month old girl finally has enough hair for them to start teasing it into twists and tails.
