Our Cabin Before 18 inches of snow

We were visited by a family of lake otters. We had so much fun watching them play on our dock.

Merry Christmas To All

Matt is doing really good these day's. We have spent alot of time at our cabin in Shelton. Just a couple of days ago we walked down the street to the 8th green were there are lots of hills and we went sledding, fort building, and we managed to roll a huge snow ball. Our family is wishing all of you the best in health and good times this Christmas. Please don't forget the TRUE meaning of Christmas and take time to help someone. A little help goes a long way in these hard times for so many. Love to all the Yantzers

Matt can barely see over the steering wheel, but boy did he have fun.

Matt Got His Hickman Line Out!

With the help from Seattle Children's Hospital Matt got his Hickman Line out on 12-14-08. What a great Christmas present!

Alot to be Thankful For!

The Yantzer family had alot to be Thankful for this Holiday! We are so glad that Matt is making progress in this long battle. Matt made a pecan pie with help from his sister Nicole at Grandmas house this thanksgiving. Although things were not the same without Grandpa being there. Matt's Grandpa Connor has Cancer pretty bad and we found out yesterday he probably doesn't have too much time left. Matt loves playing cribbage with him and it's always a fight to the finish to see who will win. My Dad said that he was glad he lasted long enough to see Matt win his fight with the cancer he had. But I reminded him that he too has to fight just as hard as his grandson did. It's hard telling a 85 year old that has so many health issues to keep fighting, but we all hope he doesn't endure too much pain for very long. Lynn also has a very good friend battling bone cancer and she is very concerned in the out come for her family. It doesn't seen fair sometimes!

Again, we are thankful for every day we wake up and see Matt's smiling face. We ask that all of you continue to pray for our friends who are still fighting cancer and also the ones we know have lost their battle. I will never understand but need to be grateful for our outcome and I will never take for granted the things that matter the most in life. Love to All Lynn, Matt, Steve & Nicole
