Welcome to our blog! I've never been a blogger, so we are stepping out into new territory here. Thanks to one of our neices, (Shelly Hammond) she's set this up for us and trying to convince me that I can do this.

Stepping out into new territory... is exactly what our family has been doing with this leukemia. This sort of thing only happens to other people. Each day there is something new to learn. A quote I recently heard, "To accomplish something you never had, you have to do something you never did."

Thanks to all of you for your many, many prayers, cards, phone calls, visits, etc. I don't even have the words to convey what it has meant. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! I plan to post messages often on this new blog of ours, so check often and of course we'll look forward to hearing from you. We do have a laptop in Ray's room, so he'll be able to read along!! (Maybe, if we get all this technology figured out)

Love you all,
Kim

Yea! I love the blog idea. I just can't believe that Raymond is blogging. (Or is he?) You know we are all behind you and are sending many prayers and well wishes your way. If you need anything, Gene is going to have some free time soon, let him know what he can do. Love you guys, Michele and Gene
