Second to the last week!

Hey ya'll,

Hope everyone out there is starting to get their bracelets!

Tomorrow Jalene starts her second to the last week of treatment, isn't that great?
She has actually had a pretty good weekend...very tired, but for the most part a very exciting time spent with some special friends of hers. And they actually flew here all the way from Boston! Now THAT'S pretty amazing.

And, there are unfortunately STILL problems with US Bank I am hearing...and I'm not sure why they can't get it together over there. So, if you are wanting to make a direct deposit at the bank, and since I'm the account administrator for the donation account, please write down my name since they can most likely look it up under either of our names.

Thanks again everyone, and keep the love coming.

Peace,
Janis

COME I THIS DAY

Come I this day to the Father,

Come I this day to the Son,

Come I to the Holy Spirit powerful;

Come I this day with God,

Come I this day with Christ,

Come I with the Spirit of kindly balm.

God, and Spirit, and Jesus,

From the crown of my head

To the soles of my feet;

Come I with my reputation,

Come I with my testimony,

Come I to you, Jesu;

Jesu, shelter me

In the mail!

A BIG thank you to mom and Chuck for addressing all the envelopes and getting those bracelets in the mail today!! I am stuck at the house with sick babies and a sick husband.

Jalene is still feeling 'in the dumps' today, but I hear that CJ is a big help at the house, so thanks to CJ who's an awesome son. (and nephew) ;) He came home from school early this morning and started raking leaves..isn't that great?

We love you Jalene!!!

The bracelets are in!

The bracelets are here and they look awesome. For those of you who ordered, we're shipping them out to you tomorrow. And if you haven't ordered a bracelet yet, now's the time! :)

Message from Minnesota

Jalene is still hanging in there this week, but definitely having a tough time. She's been to work every day, and yesterday completed her 6th week of radiation.

Here is a special email I received from my Aunt Rita in Minnesota...my mom's side of the family. Our 'Burtness' cousins are pretty amazing! :

"Hi Janis, I hope you know that our thoughts and prayers are with you all daily. Diane and Mandy were over for dinner tonight and Diane is going to organize a garage sale, just for donations only. We've got to hurry up before the snow flys. Diane thinks of everything.... It must be the Burtness blood in the two of you! She has talked with some of her friends and people seem to have tons of stuff to donate so we should do pretty good. I'll keep you posted. Tell everyone hello for me. I sure miss you all,
Hugs and kisses, aunt Rita"

So, thanks to everyone who loves Jalene...wonderful things are happening.

peace,
Janis

Bracelets update!

Finally, the bracelets are on track to arrive tomorrow! I promise we will get these out asap.

Get ready to send in your pictures of you wearing your bracelet. I'm going to be setting up a slide show on the blog so everyone can see all the TEAM JALENE bracelets out there!

Jalene is very sick after the radiation treatment today, so I know you'll keep her in your thoughts.

Love to you all..

peace,
Janis

Flowers for you Auntie GG

Julianne's first post for Auntie GG

Today is my daughter, Julianne's (2 1/2 years), first post to the blog for Jalene, aka Auntie GG. Jalene is going through radiation again today, starting at 11am...keep prayers coming! Julianne has proudly picked out the song playing on the blog today, "The Farmer in the Dell". She is singing it right now for Auntie GG and the following is Julianne's message:


"I have a listening sticker Auntie GG. And I'm getting another one! I love Auntie GG!
I love Auntie GG and I love her best! Most of all, I love DaDa! I love Liam and Dad. I love pencils, paper, computers, bugs, flys, and bees. We have a candle, a train, and my Katie Morag book.
I want to say to Auntie JJ.. hello Grandpa and Nana Julie and Jericho!!!! I love DaDa, Toby, Mama, and the tic tac toe game.
I hope you feel all better and I love your toe"

Love,
Julianne
