Happy Birthday C!

At this very time, one year ago, we were well into your labor and you were due to arrive any time.  We couldn't have imagined a better gift.  We have cherished this past year you have spent with us, we love you madly and thank you again for making it this far.  <3

Houston Aquarium

Lots of things happening in Texas, some good, some not.  C has been feeling pretty good lately, his nausea is mostly gone and he's pretty determined that he should be crawling and walking soon.  The not so good is that he's back in for another round of chemo and H has had to stay away for the last week because she had a pretty nasty viral issue.

But today we got to celebrate a little bit since it was Grandma's birthday, we're pretty close to C's birthday as well, and also it was a nice day.  I can't say enough how appreciative we've been of the friends down here who have provided a place for the grandparents and H stay, even through the sickness.  We also had an unexpected bit of kindness on our visit to the Houston Aquarium, the manager heard about our situation and gave us 10 day passes for free!  We all had a blast!

Life at the Ronald McDonald house is interesting as always.  There are always new faces and interesting events and dinners, wish we could participate in more of the events, but we've definitely been making use of the charitable dinners.  Nothing like pictures to describe what the last week or so has been like.

Who knew C would like ambulance rides so much

Notice that he's pretty much freestanding here.

First attempt to get a family shot, at least we were looking ;)

Second try, C won't stop pointing at the fish.

H and C both enjoyed the carousel.

Happy b'day grandma!

C and H on the ferris wheel, they both loved looking out the sides.

C really, really liked the ferris wheel (really!!).
It's not just us that have trouble getting everyone to look.
Nice kitty!
