The news from Mt. Hood is not what we intended to hear, which I am sure you are fully aware of right now. I can only imagine the pain her family experienced as they made some heart wrenching decisions in the past few days. The strength her father displayed when speaking at the press conference was unbelievable.We can only pray that Katie is at peace, that she is rejoicing in heaven at probably one of the best times.
The Lord blesses those who devote their lives to him, their work, their everything. What riches Katie is receiving as her life was a full testimony. So short a life, but so full of adventure with God as the focus. Awesome.
Continue to pray for her close friends, her family, those that will pursue recovery when the time comes.
Continue to pray for the other families of Katie's friends and fellow hikers.
Continue to follow Amy's blog as Memorial Services are planned on each coast for Katie.

Stats
Kendall Anne
Our darling first born. Kendall is passionate and dramatic. She presently lives in a Disney Princess world where godmothers, fairies, and princes visit her all day long. She is a preschooler in love with learning. It would be a real waste of talent if one day she is not standing up, Oscar in hand, thanking her dear mother for being her never tiring audience, permitting her to use her hardwood floors as a stage, and allowing her to go out in public dressed up in a ballgown to pick up groceries.
Ethan Thomas
My Second Child, the Mama's Boy. This boy has wanted to crawl back into my uterus since he was born. He is endearing and a challenge at the same time. E's best friend is his sister, and is subsequently the supporting actor in many acts in our home. Ethan is in love with Superheroes, Toy Story and his buddy Ryan. He loves to sing off key and snuggle with his blankie. He is as sensitive as his sister is domineering. But boy does he love his Mama...doesn't that fix everything?
Jacob Michael
My little man. He is presently the reigning champion of cuteness and is perhaps the most pleasant baby I have ever met. He makes my heart melt and I wouldn't mind if he stayed 8 months forver.
Lillian
The fattest cat in the east.She really is quite the lady. Lillian spends her days alternating dirty looks between the kids and the dog and begging for more food. Our sweet girl has no front claws to give those that annoy her a nice swat, and resorts to growling and spitting as her way of communication, its quite charming. Lily has been around since the start of this thing, and we fear her getting out and sharing what really goes on within these four walls.
Stanley
Stanley spends his days following us around, stealing snacks out of the childrens hands, barking at his friends walking by and the garbage men, and snorting. At night he engages in snoring competitions with the head of the household. He is currently reigning champion.
