A New Dishwasher

-

Is this what you were expecting? This would be me taking full advantage of the fact that Camden thinks it's fun to wash dishes. It's a good skill to learn and he feels helpful (even though our real dishwasher is fully functioning).

Totally cracked up when I uploaded this picture to the computer. I *think* this was right after naptime one day this week. (probably Wednesday since Camden is in school clothes and that's the only day he attended)

And yesterday I pulled out a couple of old pictures to scrap.

And because you definitely need to see this one close up (I just might have let out an audible "awwww" when I opened it). Camden was exactly 4 years old here and only wanted to drink Gatorade at his soccer games. And totally unrelated fact, I'm DYING to sign Rory up for soccer but because our spring is going to be so full (you know, TEXAS!) that we decided that one kid in sports is all we can handle. But when we hit Texas, there is going to be some sort of sport/gymnastics/karate, something for her (and for me to take pictures of).

And another old picture - this one's from 2008 and Rory had been home 3 months.

P.S. Yes, we're having yet another snow day #14. Not that I'm counting.

Soccer-cleated Camden made me awe out loud as well... SO LITTLE and SO CUTE!

I always love your pictures! My 6 year old son, Cade, loves doing the "hand washing", too, and has even been known to dissolve into tears because I just finished them and didn't ask him to do it. LOL!

Camden is so little in those pictures!
And what's with water and bubbles and little boys - Alex loves it too! Let's see if he has the same love for washing when he is 16... sigh.

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
