a day with Eli

So hey everybody, I'm 2 years old now, and I'm styling now. Also now that I'm 2, I'm tons of fun to take out on little adventures around town and I love being outside ! So, who wants to hang out with me for the day? 'Auntie Kate' ofcourse!

Riding my bike

Oregon...can it get more beautiful?

It was the only place in the forest to camp
Could you wake up in a more beautiful place? Cliffs, fresh woods, and the Pacific ocean
Alissa and I, reunited under a shining sun

Liz and I demonstrating beach stretching

Portland friends reunited at the beach for another great weekend together ( there were 8 dogs , but apparently only 2 made it for the photo !)

cancer to freedom

Then to Now
reflect

CANCER-FREE

live, die, live
anger to relief
scar to survive
knowns and unknowns
accept-ance
time to moments
life to living
embrace
