Rock the Love for Gigi (2026)

29/04/2026

Living out a dream we once only whispered in prayer 🌺🧜‍♀️

We are in Hawaii for Gigi’s Make-A-Wish trip, and watching her soak up every second of this joy feels like the purest gift. From hospital rooms to ocean views, from hard days to moments like this, God’s goodness is undeniable.

She is strong.
She is radiant.
She is fully living.

Thank you for walking this journey with us, for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love that helped carry us here. This moment belongs to all of us 🤍

CLEAR SCANS.

There is no evidence of disease.

And today, Gigi did her MRI WITHOUT anesthesia. This is HUGE.

Such a big milestone and we are so incredibly proud of her strength and courage.

Thank you for covering her in prayer, for the messages, and for standing with us in faith leading up to these scans. We felt it.

Walking into these appointments always comes with anticipation and hope, and today we are met with deep gratitude and peace.

A special thank you to the best CRNA in the world, Dale, for the love, support, and care every step of the way.

God is so good. We celebrate this moment, we give thanks, and we continue to trust Him for all that lies ahead.

Gigi is at St. Jude this week with Joel for check-ups, and big scans are today.

If you have a moment, we would be so grateful for your prayers, for peace in the waiting, strength in the unknown, and continued healing over her sweet life.

We trust, we believe, and we lean into faith today more than ever.

Thank you for lifting our girl up 🤍

Good Friday marks one year ✨

One full year since Gigi finished treatment.

And I can’t help but sit in the weight and the wonder of that because Good Friday is the day that looked like loss, like suffering, like the end of the story.
But we know now it was never the end. It was the beginning of redemption.

And that is exactly what this year has been.

A year of healing we prayed for but couldn’t fully imagine.

A year of watching her strength return in quiet, steady ways.

A year of grace showing up in moments big and small.

Her little ponytail sprouting back like new life.

Soft, determined, growing anyway.
A reminder that even after the hardest seasons, God restores.

There were days we held our breath.
Days we felt the weight of fear, of uncertainty, of what if. And still mercy met us there every single time.

Not always loudly.
Not always in the way we expected.
But faithfully.

This year has taught me that miracles don’t always look like lightning bolts.
Sometimes they look like regrowth.
Like laughter coming back.
Like color in her cheeks.
Like peace where there once was panic.

Like this moment, one year.

Today I don’t just see survival.
I see redemption.
I see covering.
I see a God who never left us in the valley.

And while Sunday is coming, we are already living in the evidence of it.

Thank you Jesus for the mercy.
For the healing.
For our girl.

Just a little smile from our girl after Mass today.

There is something so peaceful about starting the day in church and then watching her walk out with this kind of joy. Moments like this remind me how faithful God has been through every step of our journey.

Grateful for His grace, grateful for every prayer, and grateful for this sweet life in front of me.

✨🙏💛

Seven years of grit, grace, and the brightest light in every room. 💗

We’re ending the sweetest day post mani/pedi around the hibachi table, surrounded by family and friends, laughter filling the air and of course cupcakes! Full plates, full hearts, and our girl soaking in every second.

Gigi, you are joy wrapped in determination and confidence. Watching you grow into exactly who God created you to be is the greatest gift.

Make a wish, baby girl. We trust the One who holds it all. ✨🕯️

Happy 7th Birthday to our miracle girl Gianna 💗✨

Seven.

There was a time we did not know what seven would look like. There were nights when the future felt uncertain and heavy. Because of that, today is not just another birthday. It is answered prayer. It is mercy. It is proof that God is still writing miracles in real time.

Last night the Bulldog showed up with a bougie box all things 7. Pure magic. And this morning her backpack was equipped with the coolest water bottle a newly turned seven year old girl could ever imagine. The joy is in the details. The surprises. The effort. The love.

This morning felt especially sacred. We had the sweetest surprise before school. Godmother Rachel and her sissy cousin Emma who truly feels like a sister showed up with donuts, presents, and so much love. Watching Gianna light up surrounded by her chosen family was everything. We are so deeply grateful for the people God has placed in our lives who show up, love big, and celebrate even bigger.

Then before the bus came bright and early, an Amazon package arrived from Aunt Leah with the coolest playdough and Junie B book set. Lucky kid. Loved by so many.

Now for the real life moment. Because seven apparently comes with standards. We had a few meltdown moments this morning over pants not fitting because she is seven now, sock creases not lining up perfectly with her shoes, at least two outfit changes, and a brief but passionate mini tantrum. And honestly I would not trade even those moments. The sass, the opinions, the big feelings, they are all proof she is here, she is growing, she is thriving.

Also only one brother is pictured because it was early and teenagers do not rise for sunrise birthday photo shoots. We will catch the rest of the crew later.

The sleepy hugs, the birthday giggles, the quiet gratitude in my heart, it all feels holy. These photos from this morning are just the beginning. Plenty more magic to come throughout the day as we celebrate our girl the way she deserves.

And the celebrating is far from over. Daddy is picking her up early from school for a little pampering, getting her nails and toes done like the princess she is. Tonight we will gather around a hibachi table with friends and family, laughing and giving thanks. And this weekend we will celebrate big with our extended family as we honor all of our February birthdays together. What a gift to be surrounded by so much love. What a blessing to watch her be celebrated in every space she walks into.

Gianna, you are living proof that faith can move mountains. You are joy. You are light. You are resilience wrapped in glitter and grace. Watching you grow is the greatest privilege of my life.

My prayer over you today
May you always know how deeply you are loved.
May you walk boldly in the purpose God has already written for you.
May this year bring laughter, confidence, friendship, health, and the kind of magic only Heaven can orchestrate.

God is within her, she will not fall. Psalm 46:5 🤍

Lord, thank You for seven beautiful years. We do not take a single one for granted.

Let the celebration begin 🎉✨

100 days of Kindergarten. 💯✨

One hundred days of early mornings, new friends, learning letters and numbers… and for us, 100 days of watching a little girl who has already faced more than most keep showing up with courage and joy.

The 100th day is supposed to be about counting how far you’ve come. And when I look at her, I can’t help but see so much more than school days. I see hospital days. Treatment days. Hard days. Brave days. I see a child who learned resilience before she ever learned to read.

Post cancer, every milestone feels bigger. Every ordinary moment feels sacred. 100 days of kindergarten isn’t just a cute dress-up day (although she understood the assignment 😍👵🏼). It’s 100 days of health. 100 days of strength. 100 days of forward motion.

She is living proof that healing happens, that joy returns, and that little girls can be both soft and unbelievably strong.

So proud of you, Gigi girl. Keep counting your blessings and chasing your dreams. 💕

With hearts overflowing, we’re sharing some beautiful news 🤍

This week, Gigi had her scans at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and by God’s grace, they came back ALL CLEAR.

We are so deeply grateful. Grateful for mercy. Grateful for the hands and hearts at St. Jude. Grateful for prayers lifted near and far. And most of all, grateful for a God who goes before us and continues to make a way, even when the road feels impossible.

As we celebrate this moment, our prayers remain firmly wrapped around our friends at St. Jude who are still in treatment, still waiting, still making incredibly hard diagnostic and treatment decisions. We stand with you. We pray for strength, clarity, peace, and healing beyond what medicine alone can explain.

In the words of Blessed Father Solanus Casey, “Thank God ahead of time.”
So today, we thank God in advance, for Gigi’s future, for continued healing, and for her life being made whole according to His perfect will.

Thank you for walking this journey with us, for believing with us, and for loving Gigi so fiercely. We’ll share a few photos from this week, each one a reminder that hope is alive and miracles still happen.

All glory to God 🤍

New Year’s Eve will forever remind me just how big my God truly is.

One year ago, this exact night, we were standing at the very beginning of Gigi’s first day of her first round of chemotherapy. I remember the weight of that moment so clearly. The fear, the surrender, the prayer whispered through tears.

What a difference a year can make.

The graces we have received are impossible to fully put into words. We have witnessed the beautiful, raw, and redemptive power of Jesus and His saving mercy. He has carried us through places we never imagined we would walk, and He has been faithful every step of the way.

As we step into this next season, my prayer remains the same. That He continues to pour His mercy, compassion, and healing over Gigi. We will be returning to St. Jude soon for scans on January 22, and we ask you to please pray that He continues to carry us, just as He always has.

May He use her story for His glory. May her life be a living testimony of His healing power, His goodness, and His unfailing love.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer. We feel it. We are held by it. And above all, we trust Him.

And if you’re in the middle of something that feels impossible, where the road ahead is unclear and your strength feels gone, hear this truth: my God is big enough for you too. He is still a way-maker, still a healer, still faithful. What feels overwhelming to you is not overwhelming to Him. Hold on. He will carry you through, just as He has carried us.

Hello, Rock the Love family ❄️ As we step into December, my heart is moved to ask for prayers for a dear St. Jude friend of ours, sweet Erma. Gigi and I met her in July when we were back for scans—her birthday is just a few days from mine, and from the moment I met her, I adored her. She carries such a radiant spark, a joy that fills the room.

Erma is courageously battling neuroblastoma and is in the thick of treatment right now. She needs the covering of our prayers. With her mom Sarah’s permission, I’m sharing her message below as she reaches out to prayer warriors near and far.

Please keep this precious girl—and all the children of St. Jude—in your prayers. May God’s healing, strength, and peace surround them in every moment. 🙏💛

__________________________________

I wish I had a better and more cheerful update for everyone. Erma is really struggling, and I’m asking everyone to please continue praying every day at 9 a.m. for quick healing for her. She is in so much pain. She’s so weak that every time we pick her up to use the bathroom, she throws up.

Her mucositis is covering her mouth, down into her throat, and into her small intestines. Very little brings her any relief, and she’s so exhausted that she’s too weak to even be upset, she just lets the tears stream down her face. Two nights ago, through her tears, I could hear her praying for God to help her stop throwing up, and she said, “I’m devastated.” She is on a pain pump to help, but it’s incredibly hard to watch your child struggle like this.

Please pray specifically for quick healing of the mucositis in her mouth and throughout her body. Pray that her strength returns soon so she can get relief, begin weaning off the pain pump, and God willing be out of the hospital in time for Christmas.

Thank you all for your love and prayers!

Rock the Love for Gigi
