Marshall and Dave Cha Cha

Odds and Ends

I, of course, am behind in updating our blog. It's amazing how much time you don't have after having a baby! As a result, this post will probably seem unorganized and filled with many unrelated things, but nonetheless, we wanted to share them so here it goes.

Dave underwent another round of chemo before Christmas. It was the first treatment I wasn't able to go with him, but somebody needed to stay home with Marshall. I think he secretly enjoyed not having me there to fire away six million questions at the doctors. You know I always go with a list. ha ha! Dave did great...he always does. He is such a trooper when it comes to these long days. He strength and courage continue to amaze me every day. He will have a new full body CT scan on January 7th to see if his lymph nodes have made any progress. I will let you all know the results as soon as we hear.

As you know, this was our first Christmas with Marshall and it's true...everything is more fun with a baby! We laugh that we aren't sure how we spent our time prior to his arrival because all we do now is watch him. Dave and I have been blessed with so many things, but Marshall is definitely at the top of the list!

Marshall and I are getting ready to spend 5 days on our own as Dave and my dad are going out to the Fiesta Bowl!!! Keep your fingers crossed that we both survive!!!

I have attached a variety of pictures and one video. None of which are related. The one of Marshall and I is my first day back to work...before the tears came :( The other is of me and all my boys. Dave, Tug, Dusty, Guy (my brothers) and Marshall. And finally, I attached a video of Dave and Marshall doing the cha-cha slide. And Dave said he couldn't dance!

Hope you each have a Happy New Year's Eve and that you kick off yet another year full of celebrations!

Dave's Treatment, The Buckeyes, and Santa?

Well, Dave has had two glorious months without treatment, but unfortunately Friday he goes back. This will be his first treatment on his own as I'll be home with Marshall. Mom won't let him go to the hospital...too many germs. :) We'll let you know if the doctor gives us any new news. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

On a much more fun note, Dave booked his flight to Arizona today. My dad and him have tickets to the Fiesta Bowl. Four days of Football, Sun, and Golf. Marshall and I are already singing the blues as we are being left behind. ;)

And finally...is that Santa? Who knew he was so cute!

MacBook Computers + Baby Pee =

So...I undressed Marshall yesterday and ran over to run his bathwater. When I returned to where he was lying, I saw that he had peed all over himself and all over my MacBook that was lying beside him. Apparently laptops don't respond well to urine, because it immediately shut itself off. Dave and I began trying to figure out how we were going to explain to the "Genius Bar" at the Apple Store that my baby peed all over my computer. Something tells me it may have been one they've never heard before. The good news is...after 24 hours of it sitting by the heater, it turned back on. So if you are computer shopping this holiday season...go buy a Mac. Apparently they are pretty durable!

You've Heard of the Boy in the Bubble?

Well...he is our boy in a pumpkin! Yes, that's right...it's Marshall dressed as an Indian in a pumpkin. Would you expect anything less from me? :) And believe it or not, he didn't mind a bit! Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving...Ours was FANTASTIC!
