"I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then." - Alice

Our first week following chemotherapy was not at all what I expected. We were told Emma would be tired and have bad nausea. Well the second was true. Tired? What is tired when you are three years old? Emma ran circles around us all week. I am not sure if it was a good thing or bad that she had so much energy. Mostly I am worried she is not slowing down enough to let her body relax and heal. It will be something we will have to discuss with her doctors on Thursday.

In other news Emma and Gracie officially began preschool this week. We did casual homeschooling lessons over the Spring and Summer with other homeschooling families but we finally began our own routine. The girls took first day of school pictures and had a little fun. The picture of them hugging

the tree was not staged, that is just who my girls are in real life. Goofy, fun loving and a ham for the camera.

We also began Emma's photo shoots for her Cancer Can Be... project. We will be doing a shoot or two each weekend and finishing up in October to print in time for the holidays. If anyone has any leads on printers who would be willing to give us a deal so we can afford to give them for free to other girls with cancer that would be awesome. We are also looking for sponsors so we can help cover gifting costs. If you are interested in becoming a sponsor here are the two options we have thought of,

1. Help with the cost of giving the calendars for free to Cancer Warriors or the production costs of the project and you get a space on the inside title page for your logo and 100 character space to write something inspirational or about your company / organization.

2. Organize for us to sell the calender through your company or organization with your help in advertising the project and you get a space on the inside title page for your logo and 100 character space to write something inspirational or about your company / organization.

I will post more sneak peeks as time goes on!

Lastly there are new ways to follow our journey, Emma has her own Facebook page now www.facebook.com/throughemmaseye and we have a Twitter @throughemmaseye
