Christopher has gone Home
Christopher Seibert went home to be with the Lord this morning at about 6:45 a.m. Denise was at his side. Please keep Denise, Ethan and their extended family in your prayers.
If you would like to send your condolences, Denise has asked that in lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or to their donations web page which will now become a site for Ethan's future. www.ourseibertfamily.com
If you would like to send a note to them or help in any way with meals, etc. Please leave a comment and I will email you back.
Thank you to all of you who have been keeping this family in your prayers. Whether you know them or not, I know that it has helped. Chris was in so much pain and the Lord knew he needed to be healed, it just wasn't meant to be on this earth.

Update on the Seibert Family
I know that it has been a few weeks since I have updated the blog with anything, especially with news concerning Chris, Denise and Ethan. If the last three weeks have been a blur for me, I can only imagine how Denise is feeling. I talked with her today and she said that Chris has been sleeping the majority of the time since Saturday. He is not eating much at all and is only able to carry on short conversations while he is awake. They were able to get a hospital bed hopefully delivered tonight to ease his discomfort from laying on the couch and getting in and out of bed. It is looking like the end is near and my heart aches for them. I pray on and off throughout every day for them and some days I don't even have the words and I can only pray for God to give strength and peace to them. I understand now what his will for Chris is and while it deeply saddens me I also know that the ultimate plan is in HIS hands and not mine.
On a positive note, I have been so relieved and overjoyed to see the outpouring of love and support from friends, neighbors and even complete strangers. When this journey began there were so many needs to be filled and praise God, He has provided for so many of them. Meals are being delivered almost daily and cleaning has been arranged thanks to Mitzi, another friend and neighbor. Many people donated to the website and that has been a huge blessing for them. They are under a deep pile of medical bills from the past year and a half and it is such a relief for Denise to know that she can take care of at least some of that. I am just glad that unlike so many who lose a spouse all too soon, they are able to spend these last precious days together as a family. I pray that it brings Denise some sense of peace in the coming months and years.
Please continue to keep Christopher, Denise and Ethan in your prayers. If you would like to follow their story more closely you can visit

"Did you go to the zoo today?"
Note to readers- Marc and I are the only ones laughing at that title...
carry on. :)
Nana, Ashley and I went to the Ft Worth Zoo today to celebrate Nana's anniversary (Grandad is out of town ). We had a great day and the weather could not have been more perfect! Ashley had so much fun and loved the gorilla, hippopotamus and elephants the best. A wonderful surprise too, we happened to run into one of my dearest friends, Katie, and her kids while we were out there! Great day-
Ashley found this stick in the first 5 minutes at the zoo. It didn't leave her hand the whole day. She is "fishing" in this picture. She said she caught the big one, but it got away...
It is tough to get "posed" shots of this child. I am satisfied that she is still and smiling- who cares if there is a sippy cup in the picture and it's blurry.
Hugging the baby elephant. Notice the stick?
All tuckered out (again, stick... check!)
The gorilla concurred.

Who Built the Ark...
Ashley, apparently!!
She asked me to take this last one. I love the cheesy smile! :)
Fall at the Arboretum
The beautiful weather has continued around here and we made two more trips back to the Arboretum this week- yes, two THIS week!! First time was with Nana, Ashley and I and the second time was for our Sunday School Fall Picnic. Both days were wonderful! Ashley loves pumpkins so she was in heaven!!
She loves to sit on pumpkins! Seriously, she searches them out and "tries" out most of them!
This was the Sunday School Picnic day. Ashley has that look on her face b/c she was looking for the petting zoo (which is apparently not there on the weekend). She was not very happy about this at all.
Look, more pumpkins. Gotta sit on these too!
