Since Jack is in the maintenance stage we have felt a little bit more relaxed, even though living with chemotherapy still has its challenges. We were able to do the following fun things in September:
Over Labor Day weekend, we went to Ocean Grove for the day with good friends. The weather was beautiful and Emma and Jack enjoyed playing in the water and the sand. We were also fortunate to go to a carnival in Central Park with Grandma Bailey. Emma and Jack had lots of fun with the rides, and Jack in particular loved the train ride--he went on it five times!
Thanks to wonderful friends and Jack's ANC count being over 2000, we were able to go on a small four day vacation to Connecticut, which was lovely and what we so needed as a family. Spending time together was well deserved and we came back with our batteries re-charged.
Last week was special as Emma and Jack started school. It is Emma's third and last year of pre-school and it is Jack's first year of pre-school. Look at how grown-up they are!
Emma was happy to see her old and new friends and to meet her new teachers Mary-Beth and Louise.
Jack is slowly getting used to being dropped off and getting to know his four new friends. He is in the young two's class and there are five children (two boys and three girls) in his class with his two teachers - Judith and Rose.
This week Jack has a chemo treatment on Wednesday. I spoke to his nurse Kristine today and she is excited that he is doing well but she misses him and looks forward to seeing him again tomorrow.
Please enjoy the pictures from all the above. Thanks for your continued love and support!
XOXO
