Happy Birthday, Super Jax!

The boy turned SIX! On December 25th!

We had a very lovely, low-key day.

He was pretty sure he wanted a black forest cake.

I asked if he was really sure, with the cherries in it and all.

He was pretty sure.

I made a black forest cake. It was amazing.

He confessed the next day that he really really really 

doesn't like the cherries in it.

Oma came to help celebrate.

There was cake, balloons, gifts, relaxing, lego building.

We may or may not have an official "party" in the next few weeks.

Where there are parties, there are people.

Where there are people, there are germs.

April 21

It's been a lovely day. Jax was in good spirits and felt good too. Spent the day visiting with family and friends at Easter Seals, and now tucked in for bed at my cousin's home. We are well cared for and loved abundantly. Oncology clinic appointment sometime tomorrow for vitals, blood work and chat with our Dr. and his team. Scheduling was tricky over the long weekend so we are to call in the morning for appt. time.

O.O.H. (Out of Hospital!)

First night out of BCCH. Thankful for family who provides our own space while on the Mainland. What a whirlwind week its been.

We stayed with my cousin and her sweet family for the first three nights out of the hospital. It was such a gift to be in a home and with family, especially over Easter. Jax was still a bit out of sorts so didn't feel up to much activity, but it was so good to be there.

Paska!

I wonder where one can get fresh homemade Paska, delivered to wherever I am, somewhere in Vancouver?
