It's been a long time!!

Wow! Where do I start? In August, my family made the big move from Lubbock to Dallas. I have an amazing job at Baylor Medical Center in downtown Dallas. I am assisting with open heart surgery and could not be happier! It is so hard not being able to see Cohen very much but I have faith that things will work out soon....


Madison is now in the first grade and doing very well. She tested into the magnet school district in Garland. She is very involved in our church activities. Her favorites are Sunday night AWANAs and Patch the Pirate club on Wednesday. In the first week in January, Matt had the privledge of leading Madison to Christ! Two weeks later, Uncle Mark (Matt's brother) baptised Madison!




Allison turned one after Christmas. She has been such a joy to us. She is walking all over the place and learning things on a daily basis. In November we found out that Allie has a small hole in her heart. It is so scary to think about but her doctors seem to have faith that it will close on its own.



Matt enjoys staying how with Allison and taking Madison to school. He has been in so much pain because of his MS. We were blessed with a good MRI earlier this week though. It showed that there were no active lesions! We pray that we continue to get good reports like these...


For those of you that have known me a for some time, know that I used to run cross-country. Well, I am now training for my first race since junior high! I will be running in a 5K run the end of March. The proceeds go towards finding a cure for MS.


That is all I can think of right now. I will make sure to do a better job in keeping everyone up to date with the Allred family!!
