The Feagins Family of Five

This is a place where I write about the journeys and adventures of our precious family. Joe and I are just two normal people, who met and fell in love. We have the privilege of sharing our lives with three precious boys: Parker, Ben, and Andy.

Farewell 2015

2015 has been a trying year for our family. Joe, my husband, was diagnosed with cancer in February of 2015. Since his diagnosis he has had two surgeries, radiation, an aggressive treatment in Nashville that failed, and is currently in a clinical trial that we are hoping works for him. The amazing thing about my husband is that through all of this, his focus has been on his family. He wants to create memories for our boys that will last a lifetime. As we begin a new year, I always like to reflect on the previous one, and share a few memories here.

Joe and Grant took the boys sledding a couple of times during the snowpocalypse of 2015.

Cranium Anyone?

I think we stayed like this for 2 weeks straight.

Joe came to my banquet at school, even though we had radiation scheduled later that day.

Lots and lots of this happened this year.

Parker was in the Spelling Bee again this year...proud parents but we forgot to get a picture with Parker. 

My life

Joe wanted to be up in the chair when they came to visit; the man is a fighter.

Joe, seriously a fighter, but let's hope he is more victorious than the Vikings.

Game night

Joe wanted to help clean up the pool to get it open

Daddy; the pillow.
