One year older and wiser too

It is 10:45 Thursday night and we are in the hospital. Steven finished his four hour infusion of high dose methotrexate around 8:30. So far he hasn't thrown up, but is feeling nauseated. He is asleep now, so I think we have been through the worst for this round. We should go home Sunday if all goes well.

We had a fun day yesterday--it was my birthday and we took the kids to the children's museum. They loved it! Rob took the day off and it was nice to have him home for something not medically related.



I wont deny that I feel like I've aged 10 years since my last birthday. I've have also learned a lot about what is really important. I am so grateful to have all my kids around me--even though at least two and sometimes three still fight over who gets to sit on my lap.



I blew out all 34 candles no problem--I bet you can guess what I wished for this year!

    You know there will come a day when they won't fight over your lap. That is a hard mommy step, so take the arguments for all the love they imply. :-) Oh my gosh, do I love those kids! I love this picture! I love that I have seen you many times and talked to you many times this week! (And Grandma Jill, I miss her) We have had the same birthday wish every birthday since January!!!
