June started off much like any other month, below we are enjoying Long Beach Island with X-Man. He loves going to the beach and playing in the sand.
My handsome hubby!
Kevin enjoys playing in the sand too!
Just chilling!
Oh how quickly our world got turned upside down. Poor Kevin's Mom has been in a rehab center since Mother's day, trying to recover from what they recently discovered was a stroke. She is trying to get strong enough to go home. Please keep her in your prayers. She has a long way to go.
My Mom was visiting with Tamara and her family in the Bahamas and got very sick, so Xander & I flew to Alabama to love on her once she got home. However, she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia instead. We spent most of the month at UAB while Mom received her induction treatment of chemotherapy. God is in control of this situation! We can see his hands at work all over it. She also needs your prayers!
Xander sporting his North Face Sprout backpack.
He loves running around at the airport. It wears him out before we get on the plane.
Bubble Guppies anyone?
Poppy getting some hugs in.
Dumplin and Xander had a ball playing together. He isn't quite sure what she is. Our dogs are much bigger!
We ran in to my clown friend Lindy Lou at the hospital. Xander was scared.
Napping with CC is good medicine.
Xander thought the mask were hats.
We stayed with my friend Jeremiah and his wife Becca for most of the month. They were so generous and helped us out a ton by letting us stay with them in Birmingham. They even had some toys for Xander. Thank you guys so much for everything!
Poppy kisses!
Love you Mom!
I love this shot of Mom & Xander's hands.
Cuddles!
Superman loves to ride the escalator....several times a day.

So much medicine, blood and plasma every day.
Tired Poppy and Xander.
Mom and Dad celebrated their 34th Anniversary in the hospital by Dad shaving Mom's head.
Doctors said she should go ahead shave it while she was strong enough because she definitely would lose it.
Mohawk! She was such a good sport.
Dad was so sweet and gentle shaving her head. She had a thick head of hair!
I think she looks beautiful bald!
Mr & Mrs Clean!
Awe!
Her first peek in the mirror was a bit of a shock.
Hiding from the camera.
We got her a few different things to try on her freshly shaved head. It was a little cold for her at first.

Emit took this picture.
The day Mom headed home, Xander and I flew home to Kevin. We were so happy to see him, but so sad to leave Mom knowing she still has such a fight ahead of her. She will have to get three more rounds of chemo before she is considered to be in remission. Praying and believing God will give her the strength to endure this battle. Love you so much Mom!
