Blue Eyes

-
One of these days I might get back to posting pics of my own kids again (ha!), but for now, it's all about Addison. Michael, Elizabeth, and Addison came over last night for a while, and it's the first chance I've had to take her picture outdoors (and we all know outdoor light is SO much better than dark indoor pictures). It was a little breezy so we only managed a few minutes, but I just adore these pics.

The big question since she was born is if she were going to have the Hale blue eyes. And, yes, I think she is.

I was not on Addison duty last week, and I feel like she changed tremendously in one week's time!

And I was just mentally congratulating myself on not stressing over Easter pics (or clothes) this year. I grabbed a few snapshots, no perfect location and bad lighting. Of course, now that I've uploaded them, I'm not feeling so laid back about it, but whatever.

P.S. Any of my photographer friends want to help me fix white balance during the spring when you're shooting in less than ideal circumstances with all the fresh yellow/green spring grass? I feel like I'm ruining half my shots these days.

Maybe an Easter recap and pics tomorrow. Happy Monday!

OK, adorable photos first of all! And WOW do Addison's eyes capture the light better than my kiddo's dark brown eyes.

Are you struggling with white balance or color cast? I've got color cast issues from the grass (gaugh!) Which I guess is WB in a way. I've been either setting custom white balance with a card, or filter... or, worst case, fixing it in PP. I'm constantly pulling yellow out!

Regardless, I feel your pain!

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

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
