Randoms

Just a couple random pictures off this round of pictures. Owen and his Red Robin balloon. Brothers at play
Happy Owen with green beans.

Tip-a-Cop

On Sunday, Bob helped out at our local Red Robin for the annual Beaverton Tip-a-Cop, raising money for the Special Olympics. Owen loves seeing Bob-bob in uniform and sitting in the police car. I think Bob-Bob loves seeing Owen just as much! officer in training?

He'll get you speeding... watch out!
This year, Henry could join in the fun too!
Another Officer Friedler?

Hickman

On Monday morning, I took Henry to the hospital. Our goal was a Hickman placement, a bone marrow biopsy, and a lumbar puncture with chemo. Then admit to the hospital to start round two of chemo. When we got there, he had labs drawn. His white blood cells weren't high enough to start chemo or do the biopsy, so we "settled" for just the Hickman placement.
It's a large bandage, that will come off tomorrow, but you can see the Hickman; two ports to give meds into that go into the large vein by his heart. He was "helping" tonight while I flushed the lines with some saline.
This next Monday, we will go into the hospital. By then, his labs will definitely be good enough to restart chemo. So, we got another week at home. Which is nice... BUT, it's a delay in treatment, which isn't ideal. But I'll take another week of "normal" before reality kicks back it!

Wine Tasting

Maybe it's in poor taste, but it's just what Lucas and I needed, on Sunday we took the boys wine tasting. We called ahead to make sure they were "kid friendly" and not busy... then we sampled some yummy Oregon wines at Oak Knoll.

"where's Henry?" There he is!

My favorite things

I love having all of us home. I love watching Owen and Henry play together, and steal toys from each other. And as much as I love watching us all together, it makes the reality of going back to the hospital on Monday that much harder.

I asked Owen to pick up Henry... he walked over and said, "too heavy mommy, you pick up". Playing together.
My favorite three men.

Brothers

I can't begin to describe how wonderful it is to have both of my babies in the same house. And even better when we can watch them play together.

Airport: trip two

Today, we went to Twin Oaks airport. (it's just what we do). It was a great day to watch the airplanes take off. Owen even got to sit in an airplane
A natural.
