MSB {5}: The Pew Boss

,

My Sunday Best with The Pew Boss I have enjoyed linking up with My Sunday Best because it’s a means to swap Mass survival stories. But– I’m getting a little tired of posting the same picture of myself over and over.  I <3 Lands’ End and have been rotating their fit and flare dresses all summer.  (They […]

MSB {4}:  Of Baskets and Beetles

,

This is my Sunday best for the week.  If you’re actually interested in the details, here’s the scoop. My parents offered to watch Bea during Mass, so I was able to wear a necklace!  Fancy, right?  On to more interesting Sundayness. It’s become a thing among the kids that they MUST TOUCH THE BASKET passed […]

My Grandbunnies

I asked Elle to describe a drawing she was working on diligently. Elle:  (proudly) These are my kids. Me: Oh!  How nice.  How many kids do you have? Elle:  Seven. Me:  What are their names? Elle:  Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail…(big pause)…Mrs. Rabbit…Lucy… (she trails off, unable to name the remaining two)   Oh dear.  I think […]

Me:  What was she using as a cupcake? David: […]

Cee went to church dressed like a gypsy yesterday.  With all the changes she’s having to put up with, I didn’t push it. My sister picked up a bunch of dresses at a garage sale.  Most of them are everyday play dresses.  Cee chose one to wear for church.  It was  floor-length, spaghetti strapped, and as […]

Back before Mayo we went to see a pediatric hematologist.  I hadn’t ever been to that clinic before, so I made sure we got there early.  Cee and I wandered around a little, found where we were supposed to be, and then went to the bathroom.  Poor Cee!  She was sitting on the potty, but […]

Cee has been tolerating her Ensure off and on lately.  We try to have it available as much as possible to encourage her to take a sip here and there.  Every calorie and vitamin counts!  Unfortunately, Elle has taken to sneaking sips of Cee’s “chocolate milk.”  It doesn’t matter that we give Elle her own regular chocolate milk.  She […]

It’s over.  The bone marrow biopsy is finished. So we wait. Cee was a champ through everything.  Before the procedure she got some “I don’t care” medicine in her IV.  David, my mom, and I were there.  Cee figured out how to cross her fingers and smiled a lot as she stared at us.  It was a […]
