What a year.

I was filled with emotion today as I poured my morning cup of joe and realized today's date.  May 5th...May 5th...why does it stick out in my mind?  Sure the usual thoughts of Corona, parades, and Cinco de Mayo ran through my head but that just wasn't it.  I know that my sister and grandmother celebrated a birthday yesterday but that isn't it either.  Then it hit me...Kinsley went in for her third (and final) nevus excision on this day last year.  This was also the surgery that we chose to have the MRI of the brain and spine completed.  It was a year ago today that we sent our 10 month old baby back to surgery and held our breaths.  We mentally, spiritually, and emotionally prepared ourselves for the worst.  But we prayed for the best.  And the Lord came through in SO many ways.  Kinsley's giant nevus was 100% removed on this day and we received even better news the following day.  Her MRI scans were clear.  We were overwhelmed with joy.  I cry as I type this remembering the phone call. 

Fast forward one whole year and you will find our Kinsley Rae as nutso as ever.  She is a singing, dancing, laughing, blabbering mixture of Tad and I.  She is one determined little girl but we found that out when she was just 3 months old.  She is learning more and more everyday.  Simply stated, she is our world.  As the summer rapidly approaches, 85 degrees today, we look forward to exploring this world with her.

Thanks again for continuing to follow up on the Hase Posse and lifting us up in prayers.  This has been one amazing year, post-surgeries.  We have allowed ourselves to breath and relax and know that all is right in the world.  

I have included a short clip on Kinsley's condition.  Feel free to take a minute to learn more.
