silly videos

Funny video, the other video is having technical difficulties.... I'lll try again.

Mr and Mr Spaghetti

We started steroids again toaday. And, while I don't think the steroids have kicked in yet, Mr. Spaghetti has returned. Henry ate, and played with his spaghetti. And while I can't blame either boy, they fed off each other to play the "who can make mom laugh more".

Quote

Last night, getting ready for bath, Lucas was quizzing Owen on his body parts. Owen, of course, got them all right... but when Lucas asked where his tushy was, Owen replied, "back there, someone put it on backwards." We laughed, then were informed that that WASN'T funny.

Clinic

We had an appointment for chemotherapy today. So, we all went to the new hospital. When Owen saw the big kite on the building he said, "we are almost to new hospital!!" We started with a quick visit to our chemo nurse friends, and the unit formerly known as unit 35, now just the fourth floor. When we were there, Owen told Lucas that he had a secret to tell him. So, Lucas bent down and Owen told him that we needed to go to clinic, because that's where they would fix Henry.

New toys to play with.

Henry is amazing when it come to getting a huge needle shoved into his port. He just sits back... he's calm enough we even "let" a nursing student access him. He held his monster truck the entire time.

Goldfish and milk will make Owen quite happy... for a while at least.

The boys checking out the new exam table.

All of Henry's labs looked great, so he got a "quick dose" of Vincristine. Today we start a week of steroids. Our next appointment: FOUR WEEKS!!!

Adventure

On Friday, we took advantage of the nice day and went on an adventure. We rode MAX to Washington Park and went for a little hike around the Vietnam memorial. Henry carried a truck with him most the way. He walked most the way too, but occasionally needed a ride on his dad.

While walking, Owen needed to "take a rest" and sat down on the trail. After about two minutes, he stood up quickly and stated, "something is FREAKING me out!!" Upon closer inspection, he was sitting next to a worm. We watched it slither for a bit, he didn't want to leave it.

Henry found a stick, and started practicing fencing with the trees.

It's the best picture we got of the two of them.

Henry will do anything Owen does. Including trying to balance up on a rock.

A little help from Lucas

A rest on a bench.

Mountain man!

Self-portrait

Henry got quite tired after our walk, and took a nice little rest on Lucas.

Owen loved the train.

almost spring

While Owen was at preschool on Thursday, Owen, Suzi, Beatrix, Seth and myself enjoyed a spring-like day. We fed the ducks (always a favorite) and then went for a wagon ride. All three kids.

Seth really enjoyed pulling the younger two along.

Bath Boys

Fun in the bath. Cute outside the bath
