href=\"http:\/\/www.elliottblog.com\/\">Elliottblog<\/a> too.\u00a0 William has been begging me to post, but honestly, at the end of the day after a full day of work and kids, I am burnt out and just want to relax.<\/p>\n<p>So on to the update&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The most important and exciting thing is that everyone is doing great!\u00a0 We had a busy few months with William&#8217;s birthday in April, my birthday, Elliott&#8217;s 3rd birthday, Laurel&#8217;s pre-K graduation and first ballet recital in May.\u00a0 That is on top of our busy work schedules, Elliott&#8217;s chemo treatments, and all our other activities.\u00a0 Elliott is still responding well to treatment and kicking Leukemia&#8217;s butt and Laurel is full of energy and joy as usual.\u00a0 William has been losing weight and getting fit and trim and I am almost a year out from brain surgery, seizure free, and on the road to no seizure medication.\u00a0 Good news all around the Cody house.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of making this a long post, I figured I would just post photos.\u00a0 Additional photos can be found on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/williamcody\/\">William&#8217;s Flickr page. <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a
