Fierce, Fantastic FOUR
Halen Rae Carol...you are four years old today. My gorgeous, vibrant, busy, talkative, strong-willed, leader. I am so proud of you. This year has been a tough one, but you have been such a joy and light in my life and the lives of those around you.
You are loving pre-school at Bethany, you talk about being the line leader, loving movement, singing songs in music class, art and playing mommy at pretend time. You really love your friend Sheridan in class.
You are thick as thieves with your daddy, you tell us he is your prince and you will marry him one day. You love using daddy as a jungle gym, riding bikes together, going to the coffee shop and trips to Home Depot.
You are mommy's helper, I love spending my Tuesdays and Thursdays with you, we try to have fun outings, bake, play games, watch movies and play in the playroom. You love playing outside, swinging, collecting bugs, looking up at the trees, watching our windmill blow in the breeze, pull Henley in the wagon and have picnic lunches on your picnic table.
You and Henley are becoming the best of friends...you are playing together more and more. You love momming her (which frustrates mommy and daddy sometimes, but we know you mean well), she loves you so much. You are the first words out of her mouth in the morning, "Where's Halen?" It is the sweetest.
You love your friend Piper June, neighbor, Brooklyn, and Camryn. They are your favorites so far in life. We play dress up with Piper, play outside with Brooklyn, and have playdates with Camryn.
We are enjoying our small group this year with Capri, Charley, Owen, Jayden, Cayden, Bennett, Oliver, Ophelia, Clover, Josiah, and Brielle.
You have grown so much this year, you are truly your own person...determined, you love structure, you love being given responsibilities, you love helping others, you love doing bible study, you LOVE to perform. You are in swim lessons at Emler, and they just moved you up to the next class. You are in gymnastics and you seem to love it. You want to start dance, and we got you a real ballerina tutu leotard to wear to dance classes we are putting you into in the fall.
Our relationship has grown so much this year as you've watched mommy battle cancer. We talk about everything. We have cried together, hugged, cuddled, laughed, played, rejoiced, and prayed.
We really love living back in our house, spring break was a blast in Colorado, we are excited to head north for our summer vacation to Michigan in a month.
Today you woke at 6 am with pink balloons everywhere, you had pink roses and gifts on the kitchen table... from daddy and I you got dresses, supergirl panties, summer stickers, a ballerina tutu leotard, a pretty diffuser, athletic shorts. From Henley you got swim shoes and a rash guard for this summer. Nene got you a cute jumper and flip flops. Our neighbors, Jan and Al got you princess books. Then you had chocolate chip waffles with blueberries. Yaya came over and on our way to Sweet Berry Farm you got a chocolate "brossant" (your favorite), then we met your cousins, Crash and Jager at the farm. You jumped on the giant jumpy, went on a tractor ride, fed goats, said hello to horses, painted a flower pot and picked strawberries! It was so much fun. You were so excited to spend the day with your cousins, you all held hands and laughed so much today. We had lunch by the lake and Yaya brought you a special cupcake. Then we drove back into town and you went with mommy to get your nails done. You chose sparkly purple for your toes and sparkly gold for your fingers. It was beautiful. We looked at pictures of you in my belly and your birth-day and when you were so little. Then we came home to celebrate you being born at 4:43 pm. We played out front with our neighbors, Mr. Adam, Ms. Rachel, Brooklyn and Parks...ate popsicles, played on bikes. Then we went inside for family showers before your birthday dinner of corndogs, mac n cheese, green peas and blueberries. Then you had an ice cream cake with chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream and light pink icing that read, "Happy birthday Halen!" Then we played in the playroom and you got to fall asleep cuddling in mommy and daddy's bed. I think it was a pretty spectacular day my love bug. We have your ballerina birthday party on Saturday to celebrate too.
I love you my blueberry eyed baby girl. You are my darling, my star, my beloved sweetheart. Thank you for being my daughter, thank you for choosing me. I am so grateful to God for your presence in my life. I am looking forward to watching you grow, our talks and memories we will make this next year.
I love you more than every star in the Rocky Mountain sky and every grain of sand on the Sleeping Bear Dunes.
Love,
Mommy

Mommy's Mastectomy
Dear Halen girl,
Hi baby, mommy has her surgery today. We have had some amazing conversations about all mommy is going through. I have been in awe of your response since the beginning...through mommy starting medicine, to mommy's hair falling out, and now to my surgery.
I am so proud of you Halen...you are such a bright little girl with a huge heart. I love how our relationship has grown...I love tucking you in at night...laying with you talking about the day and praying. I love taking you to school and being involved in your school's activities. Like your Thanksgiving Feast this week, you were an Indian, "Little Red Cloud" so darn cute. I love watching your relationship with Henley grow where the two of you will play together. I love watching your relationship with daddy grow. I love watching you swim, you are getting so good at that!
This next week may be difficult, mommy will need a lot of relaxing time and may not be able to do as much. But daddy will be here as our hero, like always. And we have a lot of family coming into town for Thanksgiving that will help us. I know Maile is so excited to play with you.
I love you so much Halen and no matter what it is so important to remember that. You are my big girl and we have so much to accomplish in this life together. I know the best is yet to come.
I am so proud to be your mommy.
Love,
Mommy

Mommy's hair is growing back.
Mommy is almost done with chemo. I have four more infusions, and then I am done. While I am done I will have three weeks to recover before surgery. In those three weeks mommy is creating a bucket list for our family, which includes:
- Go to a pumpkin patch
- Decorate pumpkins altogether
- Make an apple pie with Halen
- Eat pumpkin pancakes
- Have a just Halen and I date
- Watch Halloween movies
- Drink hot apple cider
- Go trick or treating
- Visit the Silos in Waco
- Go stay at a hotel for a few nights and play
- Go in a hot tub
I am excited to accomplish these with you. My hair is growing back! You are very excited about this. I just love having you as my daughter Halen, you are learning to say so much. I love talking to you and learning what you know. I love being able to drop you off and pick you up from pre-school this year. I love having Tuesday and Thursdays as just me and my girl days. I love our morning cuddles on the couch before Henley wakes up. I love your imagination and creativity. I love your fearlessness and determination to try. I love your way of showing big love. I love our talks and snuggles before nap and bed... I love hearing about your favorite part of the day. I love praying with you and hearing your added prayers. I love talking to you about Jesus, and hearing what you know.
You are the light of my life Halen, ever since you were in my belly. I gaze at our pictures of when we first met and am flooded with happiness as you are my greatest gift.
And as mommy is about to end phase one of this battle this year, I am grateful to have you by my side to love me unconditionally, to snuggle with me, to give me the best hugs, to tell me you like my hair and I am pretty. I am so grateful for you.
Thank you for being my daughter. I love you Halen Rae Carol.

Summer 2017
This summer has not been an easy one. But, you have been so precious lately. Always asking how mommy is feeling, wanting to cuddle with me. Telling me you can't wait until my hair grows long like Rapunzel. I am so blessed to have you as a daughter Halen Rae Carol, you bless me everyday with your voice, your love and those beautiful blue eyes.
Mommy has been going through these treatments on Thursday mornings to make me better. I have 10 left. Now that mommy is on the easier medicine I am able to play with you more. I don't feel as bad, and hopefully my hair will start to grow back. I quit my job to stay home and focus on my health. It has been so wonderful being home with you. Daddy has been home all summer, we have gone on walks, went to the park, to the pool (you jumped off the diving board!) and DiDi & T even got you and Henley a swing set for our backyard.
But now daddy is going back to work, you have a few more weeks until you start your second year of pre-school. On Mondays YaYa comes over and we try to go on adventures, this past Monday we went to the Austin Nature & Science Center...you and Henley had so much fun looking at fossils, animals of all sizes and playing in the Dino Pit. I love watching you learn and grow. You have had a lot of playdates this summer with Camryn, Jaxon and Kenzie, Brooklyn, the Hobbs and Mrs. Laura even came to play one day. You even went to spend a weekend with Papa & Gigi! They took you to Schliterbahn and the New Braunfels Children's Museum.
Our schedule these days is you getting up very early and daddy hears you, he puts on a show and snuggles with you on the couch, he makes you breakfast your favorite is blueberry pancakes or blueberry waffles) and then mommy wakes up. We go get Henley together and then get dressed and start our day. You love picking out what you want to wear now, you even like picking out Henley's clothes and mommy's clothes. We usually go on a walk when it's early and not so hot outside, you love to run ahead of mommy and pick wildflowers or find acorns (treasures). You do lots of talking these days, it is like there is so much in your sweet brain that you want to share that you talk all the time to share every bit of information you are learning about. In the late mornings we try to do something fun...go to the park, splashpad, have a playdate with friends, and then we do lunch. After lunch is more playing until naptime. Naptime is when sister sleeps, you sometimes sleep and mommy gets to rest. Once we wake up from nap, we get a snack and more playing. Daddy comes home and then our nightly routine starts. We try to have dinner around 6-6:30, play, milk, sometimes bath, get in jammies, watch a movie or show then we put Henley down. When it is time for you to go to sleep you usually want a snack, then we brush teeth, go potty, get in pull up, lay down in bed, say prayers, then lately you have been asking for mommy to tell you a story of you in my belly and a story of you out of my belly...then I always ask you what your favorite part of the day was. I love hearing your prayers and favorite part of the day. You always pray for your friends, for mommy to heal, and that you're thankful for your family. It is so sweet.
You and your sister are starting to play so well together and are truly starting to bond. You give hugs and kisses, Henley loves you so much. I love you so much. I am excited to see all that you will learn this year in school, and I am excited I get to be home to take you to school, pick you up from school, and attend fun parties at school.
I love you Halen! Dream big princess.
Love,
Mommy
