A Nice Ending to the Year

These days have been packed full it seems. Christmas and New Year were wonderful. After a decorating project and organizing the entire house, I am ready to sit down and enter my last entry for 2002 and for the "Kelby Update Website."

Let's see. There's so much that has gone on these days since Christmas. My mom and dad were here for about 4 days after Christmas. The girls kept them busy the whole time playing with their new toys...and being their toys. My dad was Kelby's horse the whole time he was here. She also made him build towers with her blocks so she could knock them down. Mom and Dad both played with the girls new playdoh for hours. It is neat stuff that smells like chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream. Needless to say the girls were happy! After my parents had to leave we got busy re-decorating Michael's office. We painted all the walls a bright blue. It turned out so great. It is an inspiring place to work on the computer now. Also, it is a "media room" for watching surround sound DVDs! After that project was finished, I got the whole house organized...including the garage! Wow...it feels so good. I always go on an organizing/decorating kick at the beginning of the new year! I'm a little bit tired out now, so it is time to relax.

Mike got me a domain name for Christmas, so I have to work on a website for that now. I'm not sure yet what I am going to do with it, but it is www.smileonmyheart.com. I think I might be selling a few of my hand-made cards there...and who knows what else. Tune in to see what it becomes. The "Smile On My Heart" name is one that I've been thinking of for a long time. I want my stuff to be called "Smile on My Heart Art." It comes from a theory I've had since high school that no matter how tough things are, if you have Jesus in your heart, you have a smile there...even if you don't always have a smile on your face.

We have another website called "The Wright Site" for our family. It is a great way to keep everyone updated without it being focused on just Kelby and cancer. Hopefully I'll never have to update this website again. If something does come up, I will be sure to let you know through this website. I am also keeping a current email list of people that want to receive a copy of these Kelby Updates. If you don't already receive these, you can email me at mommy@mikrowiz.com and ask to be added to my Website Updates list. This way you'd be the first to know if anything should happen. Otherwise, if you want to check out the rest of our day-to-day family stuff, check www.mikrowiz.com/thewrightsite as often as you like. We will be checking the guestbooks from both sites, so please feel free to write there or send us an email using the contacts page if you'd like a direct response. We like to leave this site active for anybody that is newly going through any kind of cancer experience in hopes that it might give them hope. Feel free to pass this site on to anyone that might like to read Kelby's story.

Now check out all the great pictures from Christmas time and the end of the year.
