Taylor Grace was first diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) in June of 2013.  After 5 months of intense treatment she left Children's Hospital in remission.  In December 2015, shortly after she celebrated her 3rd birthday, she was re-admitted to Children's with an AML relapse. She received high doses of Chemotherapy but ultimately the cancer took her on February 11, 2015.

Much needed and appreciated contributions can be made to: Taylor Grace Cancer Fund and sent to US Bank 320 South 6th Street; Brainerd, MN  56401; 218-828-5424 or given to myself.

Loss of Taylor Grace

Last night leukemia took little Taylor Grace, who just had her 3rd birthday in November.  Her father, Craig Nguyen, is a police officer and works with Makita, Mike and Tonya at Mille Lacs Tribal.  Everyone's hearts are broken. 

 

To help the family with expenses, there will be a benefit held in Onamia on Saturday February 28th at the Vet's Club from 4pm - 8pm.  I'll publish more on this tomorrow.

Swimming with the Grandkids

Granny got in the pool with the grandkids.  Pictured here: Lindsey, Me, Kaylie and Kiehra.  The girls were happy to get their photo taken.  The boys were probably trying to drown each other in another part of the pool when this was taken.

A Traditional Norwegian Potato Dumpling Meal

Each year in January for Mike's birthday he asks for potato dumplings.  So not to disappoint we went to work. Tonya has become a fabulous grinder!

Sunday Fun Day Hockey

Makita, Josh, Mike, Ashley and Kaylie hit the ice yesterday to slap some pucks around.
