Happy Mother's Day!





























































What a wonderful Mother's Day! A beautiful "I picked this out, Mom!" necklace, lovely cards and a homemade school project. My parents and in-laws' unnecessary but very appreciated gifts. A fun day spent with my mom, dad, nana and the kids at Castle Park.
It has been a busy few weeks...again I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted. I WILL get better at this over the summer. Owen's MRI came back and showed that the tumors have remained stable. Owen will need to go to CHOP in the next couple weeks for some port-related meds and a check in with the neuro-oncologist and neuro-ophthalmologist but the chemo continues to be on hold...hopefully permanently! He started to take more steps about two weeks ago and now he is walking all over the place. We were leaving the gym this morning, my hands full and he walks right next to me to the doors. It is pretty unbelievable...he is finally eating and now walking!

So the weeks have gone by quickly...Dad did an amazing job trimming back all the trees in the front of our house...I ran the rainy Broad Street run with Alex and Jeff...soccer practices, soccer games...started the first course of my 2 1/2 year graduate program and I am feeling just a little overwhelmed with all the work that is due over the next eight weeks (I'm sure I'll rant more about that in another blog post) and Joey and I are counting down the days until summer break...27!!!!
