Randall Park

We took the kids to Randall Park yesterday afternoon. They loved feeding the ducks (as long as the ducks didn't get too close). They ran and played together the whole time!

Day Trip

We took a day trip a few weeks ago to Tri Cities to go to their park on the river. The kids had a great time playing in the river, on toys, in the water play park, and taking a ride on the train around the park.

Elephant = Dumbo

Paige saw these two elephants at Children's Hospital and ran up to them and hugged them. She thought the little one was Dumbo (who she has been in love with since Disneyland). She later had to bring her stuffed Dumbo from Disneyland to see these "Dumbos."

Logan's Lump Continued

Unfortunately, Logan's lump didn't get better as previously thought by his doctors (see prior posting). We were home for two days when we noticed it getting bigger. So, off to Children's Hospital in Seattle we went. They had a lot of trouble getting his IV started. It took them over ten pokes in almost 24 hours to get it. After that was taken care of, everything went smoothly. He had surgery Friday afternoon to remove a large abscess in his neck. He was back in his room two hours later and back to his usual energetic playful self. You would have never known anything was wrong had it not been for the giant bandage on his neck!

Logan's Lump

Logan spent four days in the hospital over this past weekend for a swollen lymph node in his neck. He woke up last Wednesday morning with this hard lump on the right side of his neck. We stayed home on oral antibiotics until Friday morning, without any changes, the doctors wanted to try IV antibiotics. After four days of IV antibiotics, and slight improvement, we came back home. They think it is going to take awhile for his neck to get back to normal size and the lump to go away. He was pretty good through the whole experience, mostly happy the whole time. We are happy to be back home, and will be even happier when his lump goes away!

Paige and the flowerpots

This is Paige proudly examining our flowerpots.

I am not sure what I did when taking the picture with the coloring,

but I thought it turned out neat anyway!

She loves helping take care of and water the flowers.
She is quite proud of how well they are growing!

Paige Enjoying the Sprinklers

This is a picture of Paige running through the sprinklers in our front yard. She is so easy to please. She ran and ran for hours. You won't see a picture of Logan out there, he cried any time the water touched him, I think he thought he would melt.
