It began on Wednesday, didn't think much of it, slushy snow / rain mix mostly. We had decided to actually GO OUT together (very unusual these days) after triumphantly returning from the clinic earlier that morning where we learned that C was on the way up in his white blood cell counts, somehow sailing through this round. We figured with as close to a normal immune system response as he'll ever have, may as well enjoy it right? So, what to do... We went to see the planes at Udvar Hazy! We had the place to ourselves due to the weather and it really was a fun trip.
Upon leaving the museum, it was just starting to turn to snow, that was around 3:30... We finally arrived home, just before 6! Yep, 2.5 hours to go 5 miles, it was some ride in two cars... Luckily the kids were sleeping for the most part, and the adults were amused by things like watching mail delivery trucks driving up hills sideways, watching snow accumulate in the branches next to us as we sat still on the road, and the occasional expedition uncle Scott made to help push a stranded motorist up a hill or out of the road. And we all made it home in time for dinner, even daddy, thanks again Scott for shoveling everything out, and even moving bagel vans out of the way! ;)
We even managed to make room for a stranded last minute guest from B's work, whom H promptly drafted as a new play mate. The happy consequence of our full house was that we were lucky to have 3 men around on Thursday morning to help with the shoveling and they made quick work of it.
And we also managed to enjoy sledding yesterday before uncle Scott and aunt Cindy left, and again this morning along with snowman assembly. Hot cocoa always follows our snow escapades, which is as it should be. Luckily I have managed to keep our pantry stocked with it. :)
And finally, I found a couple of cute shots on the new camera from our last hospital stay, so here are some gratuitous cute chemo pics, so nice to see him smiling his way through it...
