Pumpkin Carving

We carved pumpkins last night with Beth, Al and Miriam. Xavier helped too, but I couldn't get a picture of him with his eyes open. I'll try to take a picture of the end product soon.





Thank you everyone for your prayers. We head back tomorrow to see if this treatment worked. We probably won't find out until late on the 30th, and I'll try to post something by the 31st.

Also, Father Chateau -- I wanted to let you know that we have been thinking of you and St. Clements. I'm sorry we weren't able to see you before we left. Thank you for your prayers and the mass being offered for Aimee. Xavier and Tilly miss you, and we hope that we can find a way back to Somerville to visit soon.

Thank you guys for the fabulous pictures! It is so good to see you all. (Xavier probably didn't want to upstage anyone as he is so cute!) So snap one of the "X" man when you get a chance.
We are praying for you all and making little sacrifices where we can...like offering up "killing your brother" or "not stirring the pot with your older sister".
Love, prayers and big kisses, from Kansas

Hello to All :) Thank you for sharing your day with us :) Aimes, you look smashing dear... simply smashing... :) (you know, to go with the pumpkins... lol... remember that band?) Okay, I am dating myself... too many days here in the house :)
Love and sincerest blessings headed your way... Xavier, please let your daddy take a picture of you... we would love to see your smile.
Safe travels to you both... You are in our thoughts and prayers daily.
God Bless, love always.

Dear Will and Aimee,
You remain in our prayers constantly, and we are thinking of you over here in rainy ol' France. We light candles for you both, and do not doubt that they are heard. God bless you both, and please tell Xavier and Tilly that we think of them constantly, and miss them in our day-to-day!

We love you all,
Court and Lizzy

Pumpkin carving time, wahoo!!! It's good to see pictures of all you guys (except the X-Man--we would have taken a shot of him with his eyes closed!). Will, you look appropriately scary for Halloween! You, Aimee dear, are lovely. I hear that there's a great clothing store in Baton Rouge called Plato's Closet--I'll be on the lookout for fabulous headgear for you while I'm visiting down there the next couple of weeks (plus, my very favorite thing to buy is scarves!). We're on tenterhooks to hear any news & will be praying constantly.
Love and Peace to you all,
Claire & Co.

Prayers abound from Seattle! You really do look lovely, Aimee - probably all the love you are getting at home!

We'll be thinking of you tomorrow. Have some apple pie - that's what we're making here!

With love,

Hey guys, good luck tomorrow.
We are praying really hard and knowing that all things are possible. We love you both and will be thinking of you all day. Let us know what you learn when you are ready.
God bless and keep you both.

Dear Aimee, Will, Tilly & Xavier, The grace of God be with you-all

I was glad to see your pictures. Through the grace of God, you all look great in this difficult time. We know that with faith nothing is impossible.
Let's keep our faith, hope and love alive & strong in the All-loving & Mighty God, who will never let us down.
Tomorrow Morning @ 6:30, the daily Mass community will pray the Holy Rosary to the Blessed Mother on your behalf & @ 7:00 we will offer a Holy Mass to the Triune-God for a successful recovery physically & spiritually.
May Jesus, our redeemer, increase our faith, hope, and most all love.

"Can a mother forget her infant? even should she forget. I will NEVER forget you, AIMEE. See, upon the palms of my hands i have written your name, Aimee Cowan, your walls are ever before me" Isaiah 49:15-16.

Hope everything went well today! Just wanted you to know, we had a blast with Tilly and X, Miriam and Beth too! Every toy in the whole house was taken out & played with, laughter and smiles filled the house and we sent many thoughts and prayers in your direction! (Don't worry, the toys even made it back to their respective homes!)
We love you soooo much, Travel safely tomorrow

We second the motion...update the background scenes, Ba. After all, even we finally took down the Christmas wreath in the front hall last week. (Bought a new one for this year! It's made of pinecones, for Heavens sake! Doesn't that automatically say year round fun?)
We are all thinking of you all. We wish we could be there to share the fun. But, Greg is taking Bridget to the BC football game. Becca and Peter are going to friend's houses. Ben is staying home to give out candy. And I get to take Patch (robber), David (monster/Vampire), Abbie (Dorothy with Cece's red shoes), and Will (green furry monster) out for great fun in the neighborhood.
Hoping you have a fun, candy filled, sugar shocked day! Lots of prayers, love, and sticky hugs!
