Just when I thought she couldn’t get any cuter!

Erma confidently decided to shave off the little hair she had left, and she is teaching me more about confidence and bravery than I ever thought possible. I pray every day that God gives me the chance to brush my girl’s hair again, but for now I am cherishing every kiss I get to place on her sweet, soft head.

Today was also her first day of Pre-K at St. Jude. We had just recently moved across town so I could walk my girl to school every day, and this morning I felt a little sad thinking about missing out on that moment. Then, as I pushed Erma in a wagon across the St. Jude campus, it hit me that I am still walking my baby to school. It just looks a little different than I imagined, and for now, that's okay!

Thank you everyone for the prayers and support! We are headed into round 2 of chemotherapy this Thursday so please be praying for strength for Erma as each round will get harder for her little body!
