Instead......

Usually we are in Pine City for the Pine County parade and fair this week.

Instead we are at the end of season Soccer Jamboree.

This was the first year the girls played soccer and it didn't feel right skipping the tournament for a parade.  The teams each played two games and then the kids got ice cream and trophies.

I didn't get a picture of Hannah's team but we were sure to get a picture with Sammy.  It was so fun playing on her team and being able to see her a few nights each week.  Such a nice family and such a great friend of Hannah's.  I can tell these girls will be friends for a long time.

We could have driven up to the cabin after soccer, we would have missed the parade but could have made it to the fair.

Instead we stayed home and I was able to take some family pictures for the Wolverts.

They haven't had family pictures taken in a long time (ever according to Amy).

I wanted to be sure they had these.  Before her hair is gone because of the chemo,  before the fight for her life begins.  She's got this.  She's going to kick cancer's ass.

But I wanted her to have something to hang on her wall to remind her how beautiful this life is.
