3 Years, 16 Months, and 10 Weeks

This past week we celebrated 3 years of marriage together! it has been such a wonderful 3 years, and has flown by! God has been so faithful to us, as we reflected back on his goodness to us, and the grace in our marriage. I love my husband more today, respect him more, and cherish him more! He has grown dearer to me with each passing day, month, and year.

Here are some pictures from three years ago! I didn't know how to make them any smaller, so enjoy the BIG version!

Little Ethan (only 2 and a half then) was a little nervous going down the aisle, and so Megan was trying to convince him to go for it! He ended up being carried.. which was just as cute!

The masterpiece my mother-in-aw designed and created, and broke many fire code laws with!!! This was my dream come to true for my wedding, and I will never forget the labor of love that it was to pay for (Mom and Dad) or create (Julie)!

So, my darling husband sought to bless me by borrowing his friends Cutlass Convertible for our anniversary date night. It was a sweet ride and I happen to think he looked especially handsome driving it!

So, I looked like an egg roll in my blanket and scarf... but in a convertible, in 40-50 degree weather, what are you gonna do? Even though it was a bit chilly, it was memorable and so much fun!


Tyler is just getting bigger and bigger! He is 16 months old now, and WALKING!!! Praise the Lord! He still only has 4 teeth, but I can see 4 more on the verge of popping through. This past Saturday, we took him to Dunkin Doughnuts for a little family outing. He loved his glazed doughnut as you can see below!



And as for me, baby in my tummy is a happy 10 weeks old. Still not "showing" although my waist line is slowly disappearing and my pudgy tummy looks more pudgy than before!!! I guess I am going to have to be OK with posting pictures of myself that are less than flattering if I am going to keep you up with the developments... yikes! Still not feeling 100%... still pretty tired most of the day and nauseous. Most food sounds pretty gross by the time it comes for eating! But I am so grateful to God that He is sustaining this baby in me! next appointment is next week, so I will post updates again then!

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...

.coming home.

Well, the past 24 hours have changed things again for us! The biggest update, is that we are being discharged tomorrow afternoon some time! The reason this is so crazy is that the Dr. who was on the floor yesterday, was telling us she wanted to keep us here for the entire first month of Jack's treatment. We had begun to think through how we could do this as a family and all the changes that would entail.... and then our nurse came in this morning and told us she was pretty certain we were going home, as early as today if we wanted!! Let me tell you about the past three days that lead up to this decision of our doctor. Firstly, you should know that when Jack was diagnosed with Leukemia, he had a blast count in his blood of 37. That count is now at ZERO!!!! After the central line was put in on Thursday, they began his chemo treatments Friday. He had been having a fever up until that time. He has responded so well to the chemo, and other medications, that he has been fever free since...

at the hospital

I have long been meaning to update about the health of our family, but as you will read, we have not had much time for the blog. As I write, I am sitting in the Pediatric Emergency Room, waiting for Jack to return from getting a sonogram done on his abdomen. For the past month, he has been pretty sick, with ear infections, and various other ailments. The issues became pressing, when we noticed his glands in his groin area swollen and he was limping. This quickly escalated to where he could no longer walk at all. We took him for blood work, and they found that he had gotten Lyme Disease. We thought we had caught it in the early stages, and so the Dr. began a cycle of amoxicillin . That was 3 weeks ago. His glands all over his body have continued to swell, and he has been pretty much miserable. So here we are today, to see if this is all Lyme Disease, or if something else is causing all of this. He has been a trooper and has put up with a lot of poking and prodding. We are so aware of ou...
