Hello to everyone! Christmas was a great time for all of us! We were all able to get together at Nana and Papa Berning's. What a wonderful time to get to spend with family!

I just wanted to update everyone on Robert's progress. He has finished his first round of Chemo, which went really well. He had to receive blood this week due to the fact that his white blood count was low but besides that he is doing really good. He was the old papa at Christmas that we all love. On the 26th Robert and Roxie will be making the trip back up to Rochester to do Radiation and Chemo. He will have both 5 days a week. They will be staying at the Hope house right next to the hospital. Since it is so cold in Minnesota they have underground walk ways so that you don't have to go outside in the cold. That will be nice for them. They will have to be in Rochester for 5 weeks. I will put their address up here as soon as I get it in case anyone would like to send a card. I will also be keeping the blog up to date so that everyone knows what is going on, it is also a good way for Robert and Roxie to keep in touch, I am sure that they will be checking the blog daily to see any new comments. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers please keep them coming they are working!

I would also like to say Happy Birthday to Camera Jean and Renissa! We all love you and hope that you have a wonderful Birthday!
