while we were all so excited to start the holiday season,
an event shortly after my last post turned the
last 4 weeks into a frenzied blur.
as most of you know, my mother was diagnosed
with Acute Myeloid Leukemia. (AML). since the
morning of december 11, everything has been upside down and sideways.
BUT, the constant ray of sunshine has been our lil' GAVIN.
here's a couple of shots to recap the past couple of weeks....
