Holly & :

WOW!!! Only 8 wks???!!! What terrific news - CONGRADULATIONS to

....yeehawww. I bet you had a great weekend at the lake band

free.

The exit casting is the same as the original cast, although they

don't need to be as exact with the exit as the 1st for obvious

reasons.

CONGRADS again! Thanks for your great news.

Holly-

Horray! Just in time for August! Dane was done with treatment in

about 12 weeks because we started him right at 5 months. It was

such a good decision for us to start him so early! I bet you feel

the same way.

You can still put the band on him to take pictures!
