The past few weeks....

The past few weeks, we have been enjoying the last days of summer, anticipating the fall, and trying to get ourselves onto a bit of a schedule, all the while working on the house.... It has been so much fun. Here a few pictures of what we have been up to those past few weeks.

We went to our friends house a few times and swam in their heated pool... oh so nice.

Tyler MUST wear a life jacket while in the pool, as he thinks he can swim. He really is quite brave and would jump in without any hesitation!

This is him "swimming" by himself. I wasn't holding on to him, and he was kicking his little legs furiously! It only lasted a minute, and he began to sink, so I grabbed him, but he sure does like to try.
Tyler loves the guitar. Actually, he really loves all music... so when Jordan takes the guitar out, Tyler is drawn to it like a magnet. He was trying to play with Daddy.

And when I turn my back, he is quick to take it out of the case, and try playing on his own!

Meals have been a work in progress.... learning how to incorporate healthy foods, from all the food groups, while making sure Tyler eats enough to fill his little belly... and just like his daddy, he LOVES pasta! Jordan doesn't eat it like this though.

One handful at a time, while the fork I am trying to help him to use, lies abandoned on his tray.

We had a visit from my dad, Saba (grandpa in Hebrew). Tyler got some of his blue eyes from my dad (the other half of that contribution is Mimi- Jordan's Mom). My dad adores Tyler, and it is so sweet to see them play together.







So that has been the past few weeks....Hopefully I will get a chance to get house update pictures, belly updates (cause it is getting BIG), and what we have been up to recently on this blog this week!

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
