Photography + Adoption = Awesome

-
If you've followed along here very long, then you know Angela Crutcher is my photography idol. I ADORE her style and images. And not just her photography, but she is such a sweet girl. Not only did she gift us with a Celebrating Adoption session after we brought Rory home from Korea (pretty much my favorite pictures ever), but when I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, she gifted us with a family session so that we would have images of me and our family before chemo. Oh, and let's not forget the commercial shoot she did with Rory. Oh, the cuteness.

I took a quick walk around my house, and decorating my walls are three 8x10 prints, four 5x7 prints, two 16x20 canvases, one 11x14 print, and one 20x24 canvas. Clearly, I love the way she captures our family.

Last year Angela and her family began the process to adopt domestically. As a way to fund their adoption, she has periodically had special session events. We participated in one last year (hence, the enormous 20x24 canvas in our living room), and now she's holding another.

It is a great deal for a great cause, and you will have images to treasure forever. I can't tell you how much the pictures that she has taken of our family mean to me. Now it's your turn! Contact Angela at info@angelacrutcherphotography.com to schedule your own session. Let her know I sent you!

The Scoop

Our meeting with Dr. W today was fine. Not encouraging, but fine. I don't know why I expected better news, but I think it's hard not to hope that the bad news you hear is somehow wrong; that they've somehow made a mistake. Basically, the cancer is still the same as prior to chemo. Possibly a little larger, but he said it was hard to tell. He was glad that it had not returned to my bowel or colon (because that was a large part of my initial surgery), and my chest and lungs are still clear (apparently, this is the next place the cancer would go). It does not change my stage of cancer (still 3c), and remission is still a possibility, but he said that it would be very tough to get there.  There are several more drugs that we can try, which is good, but unfortunately they each have a success rate of only 25%. It's a little too early to be considering clinical trials because hospitals who hold the trials like for the patients to have tried the more main-stream drugs firs

1. Thanks to Andrea for driving me to chemo today. I'm always a little anxious on the way in and the very few times I've had to drive myself, it's been a little lonely coming home. But not today. 2. A fellow chemo patient today thought I was in my 20's. Score.  ("score" would be a term I'm borrowing from Becky ) 3. I did not wear a scarf today to chemo, and all the nurses and doctors did a double take since they didn't recognize me. So wierd. I recognize me with hair, bald, and with a little puppy fluff. 4. Dr. W. is adding Avastin , a new drug which will help prevent cancer cells from growing, to my current Gemzar routine. Good news is that it won't make me feel any worse. Bad news is that in a small percentage of patients it causes severe side effects involving blood clots, kidney failure, ulcers, and holes in your bowel. Good times. 5. I've been instructed to head directly to my primary care doctor for blood pressure medic

Scenes from the Soccer Field

So I may not have apologized yesterday about the number of pictures, but I am definitely going to today. Because  coughcough thirty coughcough just might be excessive. And probably my family will be the only ones who look at all of them. But I don't care. :) By the way, we completely lost and did not even score a goal yet again. Rory tried really, really hard. This team was head and shoulders bigger than we are, way more coordinated than 4 year olds should be and their coach kept their A team in the entire game. Even after scoring some 15 goals. Oh, well. Rory still enjoyed herself. Which way is the goal again? Notice her position in this picture. Notice how she passed the girl next to her? No, I am not competitive at all. Not sure where the other team is. Oh, wait. There they are. See how much bigger they are? You'll notice she almost always runs with her mouth open. Either that or her tongue hang
