It was fun! Add some humor, a couple dogs and a great couple and here is what you get.

Look at this happy 3 month old!

We had a lot of fun inbetween the raindrops Friday. Here are a couple faves right away, I might post a couple more later.

One more, with the IU sweatshirts. I have to confess, until lately I was never a huge IU fan. But I have to tell everyone now I’m so thankful for the wonderful Doctors, Nurses and medical care and facilities we have at IU.

A good friend of mine from college sent me this link from youtube and I thought I’d share it

Thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful day. I will post more later, but here is a sneak peek:

Wow, I haven’t been able to blog in quite awhile because where I’ve been logging in at blocks this, im accounts, and facebook/myspace.

As many of you already know, my 7 year old son AJ was life-lined to Riley on March 17th. Thanks to the quick work and efficiency of the wonderful people at St. Elizabeth & Riley Hospital in Indianapolis and God’s loving hands, we still have him with us today. What happened was that AJ had been having headaches off and on for about a year. The last few weeks they had become a serious issue and we took him to the Dr. He was diagnosed with probable migraines. Unfortunately they were because of a brain tumor and on the morning of the 17th it burst leaving him unconscious. Chris & I were at a convention and my mom & dad rushed him to the hospital.

We are now basically living at Riley Hospital in Indianapolis. He has come through 2 surgeries well and we are going to embark on rehab, radiation & chemo treatments this year. More information can be found here where we are updating his progress as we go along:

McGreevy-Marks is still here for you and all of your needs, but the hours I will be working are going to be considerably less for awhile. I will be doing sessions approx. 1 day/week, and of course, weddings on Saturdays. Please feel free to email me or call me on my cell. I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks so much for your understanding and prayers in this difficult time.

aj and austin

I love this song!

Who: Bon Jovi (Jon, Richie, David & Tico)
Where: United Center, Chicago, IL
When: 2.24.08

I still cannot believe what a great concert this was. We had seats on the floor in the 12th row. What we didn’t know, was that we had some of the best seats in the entire arena. About 2/3’s into the concert, Jon came out to a small platform right in front of us to sing (You Want to) Make A Memory. Oh wow! It was just incredible.

Then it got better! Richie came out and joined him for I’ll Be There For You.

Jon finished with one more out there, Till We Ain’t Strangers Anymore. I’m posting a few images below that I got with a little P&S coolpix I had with me. Not my usual camera of choice, but I was glad we were allowed to take these little cams in.

It was a great night! I hope you enjoy looking at these!

It was so great to see you again Heather & Don! Thank you so much for bringing Wrangell to see me. What a great dog! If you ever need someone to take, er, I mean “watch” him, I will do it!

Now, here is one for you, but I promise to post more. I just haven’t had a chance to get to all of them yet. Here is the first one that caught my eye. More to come soooooooon!

Ok, as promised here are a few more.
