Angelina's Birthday Party

It has been awhile since I posted an update on Angelina's progress, and since the family celebrated her birthday party yesterday, what's a better time to do it?
She is doing well, and as you can see, her hair has grown back and then some.  She is talking now and acts like every three year old should, sass and all.  Her treatment is still on track to finish the end of July in 2011.  
In other news, I will be an auntie again this February.  My brother, Ryan and sister-in-law, Jamie are expecting their second child, and tomorrow morning, we will be finding out what the sex of the baby is.  Ryan and Jamie are the first of these images and their daughter, Hannah, is hanging upside down further down the page.
Ryan and Michelle are Angelina's godparents.  That's them in front of the birthday cake after all of them blew out Angelina's candles.
Yesterday was a little emotional, but night and day from her birthday last year.  It's amazing what a year can do.
I played outside with the kids for a while and took some shots of Angelina on the playscape.  She and I went down the slide together - that's us on top before making our way down.  What a trip that was - couldn't tell you the last time I went down a slide!
And yes, Tammy was all for State and Nick was for Michigan.  Both of them went to State, and that's where they met, but Nick's loyalty is to Michigan.
