Some April Favorites

-
The last few days have included a field trip to the Adventure Science Center with Rory, the flu for Brian, a workday at church, a big Easter outreach event, Easter Sunday/Grand Opening at church, and a visit from my parents. While I try to pull myself together and get organized to blog about any of these events, here are a few things I've read/enjoyed/cooked recently.

We've made Friday into a regular pizza/family night, and I've used this recipe several times recently. It's a great homemade pizza crust that is easy and kind of thin and crispy, which I like alot.

I made this honey garlic pizza last week, and it was DELICIOUS.


My mom and I baked these lemon bars. Amazing.

A great article on marriage: Two Words That Can Change Your Marriage.

I have struggled with Project Life this year, but these monthly sets by Just Jaimee at The Lilypad are keeping me going.

And speaking of Project Life, I am clearly not doing these in order, but here are a few catch-up weeks.

Ahhh- but you are doing- a lot. How fabulous that the church grand opening and Easter coincided? I can think of no better kick-off celebration.

Whoa!! BUSY. I feel like I need a nap just thinking about all of that.

Also, I adore these project life templates... So cute! (As are your layouts...)

Lastly, I pinned that crust... thank you!

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...

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...

Late Night Ramblings

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...
