The times of our lives

Hello all!

Becky here.... I love to hear from Tara, but she is apparently busy LIVING LIFE, so I will post some photos.  I have to say, these are the days of our lives - life is really good!  Tara is living a normal life as much as possible now.  There are many times I am brought to tears as I just watch her with her baby, just holding Addie and enjoying her and it's just too much happiness to hold inside!  I realize at times again, what a miracle it really is that Tara can act like a normal mother with normal mother concerns such as:

Feeding a baby, getting her to sleep, loving her, dressing her up, etc. etc.  

Addie has been a very active baby (no sleepiness from seizure meds for this baby!!) and she has given Tara plenty of challenges - getting her to sleep for longer than 30 or 40 minutes at a time is one of them.  Although she will sleep at night, but of course still wakes up once or twice or sometimes more:)  Anyway, my point is, Tara is loving the regular challenges of life, and she loves this little Addie more than she can imagine!  I love spending time with them both and watching Addie grow, and watching Tara love Addie.  I love seeing Tara happy.

Tara still deals with tiredness from seizure meds and an active baby, some sporadic headaches and dizziness, but thankfully no brain tumors.  I pray every single day for her continued health.  Every day I also pray and am so thankful she is HERE with Josh and Addie. HERE, just living life. And, I am eternally grateful for all of you who also pray for Tara and love her as well!  We wouldn't be where we are without you all! So, here's a few pictures!!!
