Our trip to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch

We went to one of my favorite places, The Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. This place to me is what fall is all about. It was a beautiful evening and my kids loved walking around looking at all the pumpkins. Tonight was opening night; can you tell I am feeling really anxious for fall?

Payton is our sweet little boy that has tugged on our heart strings and made our faith grow strong. Payton was a happy normal 2 year old little boy old when he started running a low grade fever, which eventually lead to the discovery that he had a rare kidney tumor (Wilm's Tumor) on June 1st, 2007. Payton was diagnosed as stage 2, unfavorable histology (diffuse anaplasia) in his right kidney. He has undergone a radical nephrectomy, radiation and chemotherapy. At Payton’s 2 year after treatment checkup they found a growth on his liver. We were extremely scared. Payton underwent another major 10 hour surgery in April of 2010. We were so relieved to find out that the spot was benign. The spot was an iron deposit left over from his multiple transfusions. What a relief and blessing.

Payton is doing great and will continue to have scans every 3 months for the next 3 years. We are staying very optimistic and love our little boy more than words can say. Payton has been a brave and courageous trooper through all of this. We are constantly reminded every time we look at him what a little miracle and true blessing he is to our family. We are so grateful that he is a part of our lives.
