Although March ended with a huge scare and the start of our longest hospital stay, the month overall was fantastic. We were able to have a fun day at The Witte Museum, along with several other little adventures. An afternoon trip to the playground at Lake Kyle. Playtime at our neighborhood park. Water play in our… Continue reading March 2017
In addition to 6 days in the hospital and many clinic visits, we were lucky enough to have a great February. We spent time at Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch and had a lovely Valentine’s Day. Shiloh and I also went to a Valentine’s Day party at The Little Gym. We had a little cupcake celebration at home… Continue reading February 2017
The best thing about this Mother’s Day weekend was that we were all home together! After a very long separation (41 days in the hospital for Phoenix and I), we were so excited to be home. Phoenix felt great the entire weekend too, which is the best gift I could have received. The Mother’s Day… Continue reading Mother’s Day Weekend
Easter has always been one of our family’s favorite holidays, and the kids look forward to it all year. We realized late last week that we would for sure be in the hospital this year for Easter, so we were all pretty bummed. We tried our best to have a great little celebration anyway, and… Continue reading Easter 2017
Super late on posting this, but didn’t want to forget all of the fun we had in January of this year. On New Year’s Day, Shiloh and I spent some time at Pearl Brewery in San Antonio with my family, while Ben and Phoenix stayed home and rested. Later that week Ben, Shiloh, Phoenix, and I… Continue reading January 2017

He has since completed 3 rounds of this new treatment, and we are about to head to Dell for the 4th round on Monday. The plan was to continue with… Continue reading Coming Up Soon in Phoenix’s Treatment…
Although we were all recovering from not feeling well the day before, we still managed to have a sweet and simple Valentine’s Day at home. Ben surprised the kids and I with sweets in the morning when we woke up, and then Shiloh and I headed off to school and work. Shiloh had her Valentine’s… Continue reading Happy Valentine’s Day 2017
On Sunday, we were lucky to be invited to attend an event at Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch by the always fantastic Jaxon’s FROG Foundation. I was actually super nervous leading up to this event that something would happen (like ending up in the hospital unexpectedly) to prevent us from going, so I was so excited that… Continue reading Natural Bridge Wildlife Ranch
This holiday season flew by, and though we were not able to do all that we had planned due to some unexpected occurrences with Phoenix’s treatment, we are so thankful for the magic of the season and our time spent together. One day after work, we decided to go to a local pizza place for… Continue reading December 2016
