Friday Things #599

1. Dominic turned 10 last weekend! Celebrating him brought such joy to my heart after what he has been through the past year. His resilience, energy, and joy in all that he does is such a blessing to watch. Afrer we ate this cake, he played in back-to-back hockey games 💪🏻 2. He is now […]

1. Dominic has been feeling great since his last immunotherapy treatment. He missed one day of cross country practice right after he got out of the hospital, but has been going full steam ahead ever since. He’s been running, went to a meet, played in his first hockey games of the season, had trumpet lessons […]

1. After watching her brothers for years, Isabelle asked over the summer if she could try hockey, so here we go! We already got the pink stick tape ;-) 2.

1. Dominic has been completing another round of immunotherapy this week and has tolerated it well so far (and managed to get some schoolwork done, too). His last infusion is tomorrow, and we’ll be home tomorrow night or Sunday morning; very thankful to have another round behind us and hopefully be a step closer to […]

Next week, Dominic will head into the hospital for another round of immunotherapy. This will be the second round […]

Friday Things #594

1. Before school kicked off, we went to an “end of summer” party with other families from school last weekend, and if there’s one thing that Isabelle can’t resist, it’s face painting 🩷 2. The first week of school has been a whirlwind, but a success! Everyone had a wonderful first day and came home […]

Friday Things #593

1. We’ve been trying to soak in some end-of-summer fun before school starts next week. We went to a Pirates game – the kids’ first! – and they had such a good time. 2. Earlier in the week, we went to a place a little north of Pittsburgh called Keystone Safari; we had been before, […]
