Rory's new gig

-
When Kelly emailed me about 2 weeks ago and asked if I could take some pictures of Rory modeling hair accessories for her Etsy shop, I was so excited and thought how fun it would be! I may have overestimated the fun in having a 3 year old change clothes 6 times while plopping her down in front of the teeny patch of natural light we have in our house to take 100's of pictures in the hopes that 1 from each outfit would turn out cute enough to put on a public website. :) I think they mostly turned out cute, and we just LOVE the hats and head bands. Definitely check out Briar Claire - they have great designs, and I think their prices are SO reasonable (and you'll see cute pics of Rory). Oh, and it's a sale this week too! Thanks for letting us help out, Kelly!

Camden is having a rough week. He is extra energetic for whatever reason (possibly because of the extremely dreary weather conditions we've had for over a week now) and is having difficulty making good choices. In fact, he's had not one, not two, but THREE yellow bears at school this week. This is extremely rare for him (getting in trouble at school, not the being energetic part). He typically goes weeks and weeks (sometimes months) between yellow bears and he has certainly never had 3 in a row. The first two days he didn't really take it seriously (despite his punishments), but yesterday he was quite brokenhearted and told us that he "kept the goodness in his his head all day long" and just forgot for one second right before school was over and got in trouble. Hopefully he'll have a better day today.

Yeah Rory! Saw the pictures - they look great! Does Kelly need a model to show the bows will stay in "no hair"? : ).

This weather is tough on kids, especially boys. Not being able to go out and run off all that energy makes it hard. Maybe Camden will get some snow to play in!

That photo of Camden juxtaposed with that story is kind of funny since I just can't see that boy causing *any* trouble!!!

Off to briar.claire now to look for your cutie. Don't you think they should do BOY hats too?! (I say this since I know Kelly will probably comment too...)

Awww, there must be something in the air because Noah got in trouble at school yesterday too. He never gets in trouble! Apparently he was being loud at the end of the day and wouldn't listen. :( I'm praying today is a better day for both of our little guys!

I wish we had a little girl so I could spoil her with all those briar.claire products! Rory looks awesome! I agree with Christine - boy products need to be their next line.
As for Camden... there is a full moon this week...

The Scoop

Our meeting with Dr. W today was fine. Not encouraging, but fine. I don't know why I expected better news, but I think it's hard not to hope that the bad news you hear is somehow wrong; that they've somehow made a mistake. Basically, the cancer is still the same as prior to chemo. Possibly a little larger, but he said it was hard to tell. He was glad that it had not returned to my bowel or colon (because that was a large part of my initial surgery), and my chest and lungs are still clear (apparently, this is the next place the cancer would go). It does not change my stage of cancer (still 3c), and remission is still a possibility, but he said that it would be very tough to get there.  There are several more drugs that we can try, which is good, but unfortunately they each have a success rate of only 25%. It's a little too early to be considering clinical trials because hospitals who hold the trials like for the patients to have tried the more main-stream drugs firs

1. Thanks to Andrea for driving me to chemo today. I'm always a little anxious on the way in and the very few times I've had to drive myself, it's been a little lonely coming home. But not today. 2. A fellow chemo patient today thought I was in my 20's. Score.  ("score" would be a term I'm borrowing from Becky ) 3. I did not wear a scarf today to chemo, and all the nurses and doctors did a double take since they didn't recognize me. So wierd. I recognize me with hair, bald, and with a little puppy fluff. 4. Dr. W. is adding Avastin , a new drug which will help prevent cancer cells from growing, to my current Gemzar routine. Good news is that it won't make me feel any worse. Bad news is that in a small percentage of patients it causes severe side effects involving blood clots, kidney failure, ulcers, and holes in your bowel. Good times. 5. I've been instructed to head directly to my primary care doctor for blood pressure medic

Scenes from the Soccer Field

So I may not have apologized yesterday about the number of pictures, but I am definitely going to today. Because  coughcough thirty coughcough just might be excessive. And probably my family will be the only ones who look at all of them. But I don't care. :) By the way, we completely lost and did not even score a goal yet again. Rory tried really, really hard. This team was head and shoulders bigger than we are, way more coordinated than 4 year olds should be and their coach kept their A team in the entire game. Even after scoring some 15 goals. Oh, well. Rory still enjoyed herself. Which way is the goal again? Notice her position in this picture. Notice how she passed the girl next to her? No, I am not competitive at all. Not sure where the other team is. Oh, wait. There they are. See how much bigger they are? You'll notice she almost always runs with her mouth open. Either that or her tongue hang
