The Adventures of Little Muncher and his Lion: February 2014
http://ourbravelittlelion.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 25, 2014. 2 years ago today (Friday Feb 24, 2012) Emmett was in his first surgery, the tumor in his body just being discovered, our life already changed, not knowing yet if it was cancer nor what lay ahead. Here we are, two entire years later! Sorry for the little break.although, of course, you have no idea that there was one. Although it's bedtime, we just realized we didn't really celebrate today, so we took Emmett to his favorite ice cream place! Here we are out on our date. And he's...

The Adventures of Little Muncher and his Lion: October 2013
http://ourbravelittlelion.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 29, 2013. Even after we requested just any surgeon, they still couldn't schedule us yet. Micah called a few times. This was during the government shutdown. Micah works for a government contractor that was still running off of savings (novel ideal? Micah mentioned this to the scheduler on Thursday the 10th and by Friday morning we had a place in the books for Monday morning! This is for the City View Ward-this sign was brought to us at UNMH and hung there, flew all the way to Boston with ...

The Adventures of Little Muncher and his Lion: A dream came true for me today
http://ourbravelittlelion.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-dream-came-true-for-me-today.html
Sunday, July 26, 2015. A dream came true for me today. I've always wanted to be that stranger. I was in the airport this morning waiting to board a plane to Kansas City for a business trip. As I was waiting, I happened to glance over toward the gate where people were lining up to board the plane, and what did I see? These experiences were always so touching and strengthening to Katy and me. And so exciting for Emmett! And today I got to be that stranger! I told the boy to take his family out for ice crea...

The Adventures of Little Muncher and his Lion: September 2013
http://ourbravelittlelion.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 13, 2013. We decided it will work better for our family to change the party from the 21st to the 28th, which probably just guaranteed that the 21st is going to be warm and sunny and on the 28th we'll have a hail storm, but we'll leave it to fate. So please remark you calendars! Don't worry about presents, just come celebrate with us that Emmett is turning 3 and has finished chemo and will possibly be moving back home! Tuesday, September 10, 2013. Thanks to Betsy for this DARLING invite!

The Adventures of Little Muncher and his Lion: April 2015
http://ourbravelittlelion.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 5, 2015. Usually Micah is more inclined to write the more thoughtful posts and I just like to post pictures and such, but today while watching General Conference. I was really touched by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's. Simple but beautiful talk on our Savior and how Easter is the most Sacred Day of the year. Although most of my thoughts I like to keep close to my heart, I felt I would be ungrateful for our Savior's magnificent gift if I did not share something today. Here are my Easter Joys!

The Adventures of Little Muncher and his Lion: April 2014
http://ourbravelittlelion.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2014. Six Month Folllow Up MRI. This month we were back in Boston for Emmett's six month follow up appointments. The MRI was on Wednesday, 4/23/14. That afternoon we had Brain Tumor Clinic in the Jimmy Fund Clinic where we met with all Emmett's medical teams. They gave us the word that his scan looked stable and we heaved a huge sigh of relief. No message is sweeter than a good MRI report. We are so thankful for the many blessings and miracles we continue to see every day. Every si...

The Adventures of Little Muncher and his Lion: August 2015
http://ourbravelittlelion.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. This is for Jess. Since returning to Albuquerque we try to have as many family adventures as possible.and our official family definition of an adventure is something that's "a little bit exciting and a little bit scary". One of our favorite activities is hiking in the Sandia foothills. The other day we were out hiking and came across a scary scene. So you have to compromise. And never do this. And never try this. Alright, enough of my parenting advice for one post. I would post a...

The Adventures of Little Muncher and his Lion: November 2014
http://ourbravelittlelion.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 27, 2014. Our hearts are full to the point of bursting today. Two years ago our family was at the brink of devastation. Our only child was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer and his prognosis was dismal. In addition, because of the potential genetic nature of his cancer, our doctors had told us we might not want to have more children if we were carriers. Thankfully, we believe in faith, prayer, priesthood power, love, miracles, and mercy. And we look forward to celebrating the...

The Adventures of Little Muncher and his Lion: Good News
http://ourbravelittlelion.blogspot.com/2015/02/good-news.html
Sunday, February 15, 2015. You can imagine our hearts skipped a beat with this news. The emotions that come with a potential cancer recurrence are overwhelming. We appreciate all those who remembered Emmett and our family in their prayers and fasting on 2/1. Emmett's PET/CT came back negative as well. This means that the glucose uptake in this area was within the normal range. Then Emmett's lumbar puncture to look for cancer cells in his spinal fluid also came back negative. And those beard-hats are hila...

The Adventures of Little Muncher and his Lion: Stephen's Run 2014
http://ourbravelittlelion.blogspot.com/2014/11/stephens-run-2014.html
Sunday, November 9, 2014. Unless the new baby decides to surprise us that day, we'll be at Stephen's Run/Walk this year. This 5k is in memory of Stephen Peterson, a sweet boy from a neighboring church congregation who passed away of the same cancer that Emmett was diagnosed with. In the season of Thanksgiving, what a wonderful opportunity to give thanks for all the children who have touched our lives, past and present. This is a low key activity- bring the kids and the strollers! One of the best places f...
