Hunter and his goat Skipper dressed up for the fair costume contest as Raggedy Ann and Andy.BR>

Hunter was diagnosed with Stage four Lymphoblastic Lymphoma with Bone Marrow involvement on June 15, 2002. When Hunter was first diagnosed he had a mass in his chest that was nearly the size of a grapefruit. It had collapsed both of his lungs and was pushing on his trachea. The first week after his diagnosis were spent in the PICU where things were extremely scary. Hunter refused to think anything other than he was going home and refused to take off his sandals the entire time, even to go into surgery. He knew he was coming home with us. Hunter has been an incredibly strong boy throughout his battle. He will finish up with his chemo just over two years later in July of this year!

Okay, really quickly... Hunter is doing super well! We have moved to Kansasville, Wisconsin. John got orders to Great Lakes, IL and we live about 30 miles across the line in Wisconsin. The boys are adjusting. Hunter has lots of homework this year and he is doing well keeping up, despite just not liking it very much!

Thanks for still checking in. I will add more pictures later~!
