Nieces

We went to Flagstaff this weekend to shower my niece Rachey with love and gifts for her soon-to-be-born baby boy.  It was wonderful (other than the part where I had the wrong time and showed up at the end :$ but then just created my own party and sat and talked to everyone for another 2 hours.)  Rachel was beautiful and is thrilled beyond belief to get this little boy here...more on him to come later - it is baby season (not quite sure when baby season ends around here....September??)

My other nieces Shelfy and Bec were there as well as Kristin - who had her "not-so-little" guy.  It was wonderful to talk to these young mothers and 20-something girls.  

 Especially Becca.  She was diagnosed last month with non-hodgkins lymphoma (a.k.a. the "good" kind of cancer).  She started chemo immediately and has embraced the "bald is beautiful" look.  I think she should be the poster-child :)  

 I put my mom to work crocheting caps for that beautiful bald head and Tim and Tia are in charge of her equestrian therapy.  She's going to be fine - she's in good hands.
