Greetings friends!!!! I wanted to touch base with you all before the
new year began and I went back to work. Work so interferes with my
internet time! LOL
My RA is under control with the Enbrel. I am off all other medications
related to my RA. I take an Aleve every now and again..but no pred or
NSAID. Can we say YEA ME! :O) This past March I have had an DX for
RA for 10 years. WOW! I remember back in the beginning when I was so
scared and I found this group, so full of support, information and
love! It was a true blessing! Krissy Jo, Diane, Larry, Melinda and
others were really there for me when I needed it. I still appreciate
it and Rich still asks about all of you. I lurk mostly now, but wanted
to post an update on us.
Rich and I will be celebrating our 14th wedding anniversery this coming
year. The "princess of the puddle" is now 7 years old! Can you all
believe that?? She is just beautiful, both inside out. She is a great
ball player, very smart (reading on a third grade level) and the apple
of our eye. Our second addition is Marci. She is now 5. She is also
from China. We found her on a waiting child list while looking for a
boy! She has albinism and is a total princess and a complete joy!
Lilli is the third and our huge surprise! She will be 18 months in a
few days. She is so cute and so funny! She is cute as a bug in a rug
and full of spunk!
You can see all three of us here..

Amy, what a beautiful family. Enjoy them now while they are this young;
they have a habit of growing up so fast.
Glad the enbrel is working for you; may it always be so.

Thanks for posting Amy. I think of you and the girls and Rich regularly.
The first shower was so much fun and it was so great to have Rich in on it.
We really needed to hear the good news you had that year as so much had
happened.
Glad you are under control with no prednisone - but I really can't believe
you are still working too. Super mom! Don't know how you do it but bet it
is tough.
Take care and give that family a hug.
Kelly

Thank-you, Amy for posting your family picture. I will reitterate what
the others have said, the girls have certainly grown.
I wish you a very happy and healthy New Year!
