Pumpkin Patch!

This Saturday, we went to Larriland Farm to pick pumpkins and take in some nicer fall weather after all the rain we have been having the past week. It was a perfect cold crisp day, with gorgeous skies.... Tyler found his pumpkin right away and carried it around with him the whole time we were there. He got very messy walking around all the squashed pumpkins and the mud from the rain, but loved his little pumpkin!


The proud pumpkin boy...

We had so much fun being together as a family. I love these kind of days together... enjoying the goodness of God in his creations, in the weather, in each other... it was just a sweet day!

Tyler kept trying to lick the dirt off the pumpkin and his fingers... I caught this cutie face...

As you can see, as soon as he saw this dog, he began his chase all around the farm... the dog was less than interested in Tyler though.


Mommy's little helper...

Trying something a little artistic here...


My two silly boys...

So, Jordan and Tyler walked over to this little area and the lighting and the scenery were so pretty. I was able to get some great pictures of them. Seeing these come out as well as they did made me really want to do more with my pictures than Picassa can do... but these are still my favorites of the day!




Yup- that is one massive belly!!! Tyler was telling me where baby Jack is... I love his perfect little finger pointing at my tummy!

Our little family of pumpkins... a Daddy, a Mommy, a Boy, and an unripe baby... cause Jack hasn't fully ripened up yet.... :)

I love fall light.... so warm and soft...Tyler was just playing outside...


A baby update to come on Wednesday!

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
