[cam & sami's mom]

Today was Samantha's first day of preschool. In our disctrict, the cut-off for Kindy is early - August 1 & there is discussion of moving it to June 1, her b-day in 11/15 so no way she's even close to the cut-off. She has already made a boyfriend - will post a picture when I can get my camera to agree. Her days are long - 8-4:30, but there is a 90-minute rest mid-day. They serve breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack. She was pretty tired when she got home, but perked up after a few minutes and started singing and telling us all about her day. She seemed a little surprised to learn that she has to go back tomorrow.

Today was also an appointment day for Cameron. Not much new or learned today. Hoping to get some blood test results by next week to help formulate our plans. I'm watching him sleep now. He is so beautiful. I can't believe I have to soon consider a life without him. or my mom who is fading quite fast from her lung cancer.

I'm so tired.

Wow, Sami's growing up! Don't let her!!

I agree, Cam IS looking good! He must be happy to have his hair growing back in.

You truly are Superwoman, Lori. I won't lie! I hope to one day be as strong as you are throughout everything.

That is sooo cute. Cam is looking good. That is sweet that he kind of teared up when she got on the bus. I just wanted to let you know that your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers.

There is no need for you to apologize to us for anything. We love you Lori.

You and your family are in my t&p. Sami sure is getting big. She is so darn cute. Cam looks great. I hope you get good test results next week. Please KUP

I agree no apologies! You have so much on your plate, and we'll always be here (even those of us who are fairly new).

Samantha is sooo beautiful! She looks adorable sitting there waiting for the bus. Sending them off to school for the first time is so hard, it's a step into a new area of their lives; they grow so darn fast! That was awfully sweet of Cam to come down and see her off for school too! I can imagine it was emotional for him as well. to you all!! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!!!

Lori, if we had half of the strength that you or your family demonstrates on a daily basis we would each be blessed. Sam is such a beautiful young lady, and I cant believe how the time flies! Cam is looking more and more handsome each day hunny. You have such a beautiful family, keep your faith girl, we are all praying for you.
