Hello there again!
I am posting from the hospital computer just down the hallway from Lego Boy's room, so no pictures to post. But I thought my faithful blog-readers ( all 2 of them , haha) would appreciate an update even without pix, so here goes!

So far  Lego boy is feeling fine, we are on day 4 of Chemo ( Fludarabine) and he will have 2 days of a different type of Chemo over the weekend. Hubby and the kiddos are coming to visit for the weekend to see Lego Boy and celebrate my birthday on Sunday...can hardly believe the big 4-0 is here!!!

I have been doing a lot of reading and praying, and Lego boy has been busy with schoolwork and Wii! ( They have either Wii or Playstations in the patients rooms) He will be getting speech therapy for his articulation difficulties while he is here and captive, MuaHaHaHa! He really has been an easy patient so far and ALL of the nurses rave over him being so easy and polite. My mama's heart likes to hear that...and I try to KEEP him polite and humble!

I just heard today that my mom ( who  moved in with us this fall) is having some painful and severe problems with her eyes ( especially the left one) due to her diabetes, and her eyesight is extremely threatened. Could you please pray for her when you are able? One of her only consolations is reading, and if she goes blind it will be a very heavy cross. I wish I could be 2 places at once...

Pax Christi!

The Haircut

                           

 









 Stage 1 and 2 of "The Haircut"



                   
Since Lego Boy will be losing his hair soon , from the chemo, he decided to take a once in a lifetime opportunity and have a mohawk! Here is Hubby with Lego boy during the haircutting process.


Lego boy is wondering exactly WHAT is dad doing to his hair? Will it turn out? Will I have to wear a hat to cover it up?

Wow! This is REALLY different ...ummm, not
quite sure if I like it.
Hey! This is kind of neat! Maybe I won't have to   wear my hat all of the time after all!

Ode to Spring

With all of these sub-zero temps that we have been having lately, I am longing for a little bit of spring... and since spring is NOWHERE in sight, I thought that I could show you what spring looks like in MN.

     This photo of me brings back fond memories of when our chickies were little! Weren't they cute? Look at the grass! I wouldn't mind mowing grass again...

       Oh spring you are so green,
       The winter winds are mean!
        I long to see your face,
       And feel the warm embrace,
       Of spring!

Chicken Coop in Winter
