The Adventures of my Boy

Since it has almost been a week since my last post, this is going to be a long one! We have had some full days, and I have lots of pictures to share!

My boy is just getting so big... climbing on things every chance he gets! All he wants to do is stand up and climb all around!



I spend most of my day being climbed on, and keeping things he should not touch out of grabbing distance!



Saturday, we packed our backpacks and headed to Great Falls and did some hiking with our great friends, Rob and Mary. The day was beautiful! You cannot ask for a more lovely day!





Our little family!


The guys kept getting quite a bit ahead of us, as either Mary or I had stopped to take a picture!



We gave Tyler a piece of beef jerky to knaw on... and he loved it... you never know what he will enjoy to chew on. It usually is most things though!

We ended up hiking quite far, so by the time we got back to the cars, the sun had set and it was quite chilly!


We ended the evening with a fire and some roasted hotdogs and marshmallows at our house!


Sunday, after church and lunch with the Kauflins, we headed to my dad's house for the Redskins loss and dinner. My dad loves to see his grandson!

Here is Tyler holding my dad's beer, wearing my brother's Skins hat...


I'd say the hat was a little big, wouldn't you??


Then home for bath time with mama and dada.... Jordan was getting him ready for his bath and it turned into a tickle time... very fun to watch indeed...

We went to PA to visit with my Grandma yesterday. Tyler is going to call her Nana (I have decided this for him!). He was intrigued by her dog and kept making is new little face at her... it was great to be there.


This is the face I was talking about!


We even got to take out my Grandma's old record collection and listen to some Dean Martin and other classics... that was a treat.


Tyler has gotten to see much of the fall beauty this week... this is the road on the way North!


And then we got a special visit with Faith Boisvert and her mommy and my very dear friend, Rakel and my other good friend Sarah T! It was a girls lunch at our house!


Tyler loves all his girlie buddies! I can't wait till these two are big enough to run around together!

And that has just been the past 5 days! It has been fun! It sure does make the time fly by!

Diagnosis and Grace

Friends- "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" Psalm46:1 Much has happened since I last wrote only 2 short days ago. We found out much later that night a new diagnosis, that our sweet boy has leukemia . We were not completely shocked but we were certainly shaken. After I posted about what was going on at Shady Grove, and we waited a bit more for some results, and we were informed that we needed to take Jack to Children's Hospital in DC for further testing with specialists. This raised our concern level quite high as you can imagine, that even with a snow storm coming, we were needing to make this trip. I began to google the combination of things they had found in the tests done on our little boy (swollen spleen, low platelet count , swollen lymph nodes) and came up options that were NOT Lyme disease, although a few of these symptoms did also look like Lyme. As a result of the google quest, I came across some concerning outcomes, one of the most

Just too funny

I had to share this funny moment with Tyler. I guess I will always be a cheerleader at heart- so I was cooking dinner and decided to do a little "cheer" of Tyler's name for him to see what he would do.... and he just laughed so hard- it was on the verge of crying! See the little video below!

.Results and Re-Admission.

I am so happy to share that the results from the bone marrow biopsy came back with the results we had hoped and prayed for! They said they found less than 0.1% Leukemic cells in his bone marrow!!! So this is such great news! The prognosis is a good one, and now we get to keep marching on into the next 3 years of making sure the Leukemia does not come back and he is fully in remission! Thank you all so much for all the prayers said on our behalf! I also have the happy report of how last night and this morning went as well... So last night, we woke Jack up at 11:30 to feed him one last time before midnight. He was so sweet and groggy but ate a bunch of nuggets and french fries. We gave him a bottle and put him in bed at midnight and hoped for the best... well, he did not wake up again until 4:45... which was AMAZING for us and him! That was a long stretch for the little guy! After that he cried for a while and Jordan tried distracting him with books and holding him for a while. Jordan w
