Couldn't Resist


I couldn't help but post these two pictures of my darling friend Terri Lyn. You can see for yourself how well she's doing - radiant, right? Okay, she's bald, but other than that you'd hardly know the battle she's fighting right now against the breast cancer which has spread to her bones and liver. You go, my rock star friend.

She was so gracious this evening and watched my kids (all three of them!) while Troy and I enjoyed an evening up at Ruth's diner with a gang of his high school friends. I skipped out early to make sure Bundle wasn't making life too difficult for TL, and came home to find everyone happy if a little hyper and messy. Hey, that's just normal life, right? I'm so excited that I got to go out for just a little bit. Freedom is sweet, even in small doses.

In other news, cute Bitty got a new 'do this week - she hasn't had a hair cut in ages, and it's really gotten quite long. It was fun to put her hair in braids and ponies and buns...well, I take that back. It was fun to look at after it was done, but the brushing and combing was becoming quite an ordeal. Many tears. Finally Bitty decided that she'd rather have a saucy new bob and let go of both the owie brushing as well as the wide variety of hairstyles she likes. I think she looks adorable.

Terri Lyn looks great! So glad you got a little time away. Love Bitty's hair. Keep trying to convince all my girls to do the same, but no such luck here.

Thank you for posting these photos of beautiful TL. I have been wondering how she was doing. We sure miss all of our Salt Lake friends.
