Pirate Party

Night 3 and we were dancing at the Pirate Party.
The Castmembers were trying to show us moves to do in a type of linedance thing, but AJ said, “I just want to do my thing and that’s breakdancing!” What a rebel, non-conformist! I loved it!

There was the BIGGEST Chocolate ship I’ve ever seen.

Unofficial last treatment of chemo!

I say unofficial, because until we see an MRI nothing is final, right? But we BeLIeVE and pray that it really will be the last one. Just a few photos with some wonderful people who’ve touched our lives this year.

Colts vs Bengals

We had a fun time at the last Colts game thanks to Gary Brackett http://www.garybrackett.org/index.php and Riley Hospital for Children. I managed to take a few pictures, but the guys were a little camera shy.
Yeah, they were cold and not thrilled here.

There was this awesome stage with a band playing when we walked in. I [...]

Chili Supper / Uno Tournament for AJ

All I can say is WHAT A GREAT NIGHT! I think this was so special for AJ as his buddies from Sunday School started this off, primarily as a kids party. It quickly turned into much more with the community helping out and raising money for AJ’s medical bills. I have a few pictures, but [...]
