Doin the Puyallup

We were able to make it to the fair for a few hours.  Rode a couple rides, visited with a few animals, saw a few shows and ate a few treats.  The kids loved every minute of it.

Max was supposed to share his turkey leg with his sisters.  We couldn't pry it away from him

Molly got her first bee sting, must have been attracted to her yellow shirt

We managed to wear out the kiddos

Berry Pickers

The kids have all enjoyed picking berries this summer.  Since I have such handy helpers I told them that I would make goodies with all the berries they picked.  They picked blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries this summer.  Then they helped me make jams, syrups, cobblers, and still had lots of fruit to freeze.

Corn Huskers

In honor of the dawgs the kids helped us shuck and cook 100 ears of corn to freeze for the winter.  Too bad it didn't help us win the game. =)

9th Infusion - IVIG

We had a good infusion day today, met with his oncologist and had good numbers in labs.  We had  a good discussion about what our schedule will look like this fall.  Our oncologist is off to start her teaching and conferences around the world for the next couple months so we won't have as easy access to her as we normally have, but we were able to discuss and plan out our CT scans, MRI Scans, Spinal Taps, and other tests to gear up for in the next couple months.    We have follow ups with all of the different disciplines that follow Max while our oncologist is gone.   We did have some minor issues with medications today and I am glad that I am an informed parent, there are so many things that could go wrong if you aren't paying close attention. Today was also Madison's first day of preschool so she was able to join us in the afternoon and tell us all about her first day.

Chelan

Twin Beach Bums

We had a nice labor day getaway in Chelan with my family.  We enjoyed great weather, lots of swimming, enjoying the sun, berry picking, bike riding, water slides, and fun hanging out with the family.
