I began my original blog for my 10 year old daughter "Baby Girl" when she was diagnosed with chondrosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. If you would like a recent update on her condition you can go here
I started blogging October 17, 2006 the day my daughter was diagnosed with Chondrosarcoma, a very rare bone cancer. This blog was originally begun to chronicle our lives through that horrific time. Many of you have been following our progress.
One thing I found through that experience was a solid faith in God. I needed His strength to get me through. Now that baby girl has been cancer free for 2 1/2 years, it has been more difficult to come here and post. There isn’t a lot to write anymore, she is doing great, our family has gotten through near financial ruin and we can finally see an end to it all.
I want to give something back to God. He has been calling me for sometime to study His word. I have tried many times and failed because I get so bored. I finally decided to do it through blog format. I am following a one year study of the bible in chronological order. You can find the study here.
I will still come back here occasionally to post about the big events in our lives, but for now, I am going to be there. I hope that you will come alongside me and help me answer questions I may have, or give your opinion on the scripture that we read.

So this week we get to do photo art again. OH how I love Photo Art!!!! I chose my favorite CD Pink’s missundaztood album. I love every song she has written and her “go to hell” attitude. So she was my choice. I chose my daughter Baby Girl to help me with this one because she is such a strong young lady with that same attitude.

This week we have to take a picture of something that reminds us of the future. There are a few things that remind me of the future.
Ms. Artistic, Baby Girl, and Mr. Athletic
My kids remind me daily of the future. They are growing and every day I learn something new from them. They anticipate graduating Middle School, going into High School, graduating Elementary School, going to college, proms, first kisses, a million different things. Each child is unique and without them I wouldn’t have nearly as bright a future as usual.
The Cat Juggler
I look forward to growing old with this man. He gets grumpier and grumblier the older he gets, but he always has love for me. I have loved watching his hair turn gray in his early 30’s (HAHA). Every morning I get to see his smile is a good day for me. He is my future.
My sister
Even though she is pregnant with my niece in this picture, her pregnant belly is a very clear reminder of the future. I am so excited that she is carrying another little niece or nephew and that child is growing within her. That baby and her other little babies are a part of my future. I can’t wait!!!

This week I came down with a nasty cold and so I haven’t felt up to posting until today. I chose Heritage because I am considered full Dutch and I am proud of being all dutch. I was born in America, so were my parents, but when you go back on every side, One of my relatives came off a boat from Holland. My children’s father has the same type of Heritage so my own children are also full dutch despite being born in America which is extremely rare in today’s society.
Here is some things that remind me of where I have come from:
Tulips!!! Who doesn't think Dutch when they see Tulips?
Wooden Shoes! I hang mine on my wall...
My Father's Grandfather and his milk truck. One of my many relatives who came on the boat from Holland
Friday 1st May: Tall T’s choice: Future (something that you look forward to in the future, or something that reminds you of the future)
Friday 8th May: Author’s choice: CD/DVD/Album cover (now this one is a bit of a challenge! Choose your favourite CD or DVD or Album cover and reproduce your own photographic representation of it, using your family or yourself as models. You can use any gadgets you want. Have a bit of fun – it’s tongue in cheek so accurate representations aren’t as important as a fun image). Make sure you include a picture of your chosen cover so we can see what you were reproducing! (you may be able to copy one off the Internet)
