Finally Friday

-
This week has felt very busy, although as I look back on it, Rory and I have spent almost every day at home. Here's a little list of what we've been doing:

Monday night: church planting event
Tuesday night: finished up Beth Moore Bible study, first baseball practice for Camden
Wednesday: family day lunch for Rory, last service at church
Thursday: Brian trying to wrap things up for church, a whole lot of Camden drama, lots of DVR'd American Idol (seriously what is it with 6 hours of AI this week?)
Friday: NOTHING! (except a day of thunderstorms and tornado warnings)
Saturday: shopping trip for baseball/soccer supplies, baseball practice for Camden, supper with friends

My energy level is pretty good these days although I am still beat at the end of the day (especially when events fall at the end of the day). Between our final services at church, Rory's upheaval regarding her family day, Camden's insistence that he hates Texas, it has been an emotional week, and I'm kind of glad to see it come to a close. Here's hoping next week is a bit happier.

Last Friday, we wore short sleeves for the first time, and I took pictures, of course. We've worn short sleeves every day since, by the way. Tennessee has decided that it has no plans for winter this year.

This was supposed to just be a throw-away shot since I was only metering off her face to get correct exposure, but she looks so sweet, I kept it.

Changed positions for better lighting in the rest of these.

They're so cooperative for the camera these days.

Well, mostly.

If you're a scrapper, The Lilypad has it's new March collection out today, and it is FUN! I plan to spend some time scrapping this weekend for sure.

Stay safe today! Looks like it has the potential to get nasty there!

LOVE the photos - we cannot wait to wear short sleeves everyday. The silly photos of Camden are priceless. : )

Hope Camden enjoys baseball again this year. Our season starts in May/June and Ellis is ready to go!

Sorry that Camden is still upset about the move. He may surprise you once you are there and love it. We planned lots of fun activities for the kids when we moved here to get them used to a different place. Once they found out there were pro baseball games and roller coasters near by, it wasn't so bad. ; )

Enjoy your weekend!!

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
