So much to say, so little time

I have so much to tell but only about 5 mins. Today is another doc visit day. Its supposed to be just bloodwork so it might be a quick one....or not. But I'm not too stressed.

We had the greatest weekend. Friday night was girls night out with Hollis, Sonya, Denise, Rachel and Erin. Girls, time after time you make me laugh and thrill the night with your silliness. Love you all and can't wait to do it again. Saturday we went to see the space for the bone marrow drive (thanks Andy) and then Rachel, Erin, Hollis, Alivia and I went to Characters Pub (my favorite). Later that night William came over to take Alivia's 18 month pictures...didn't go so well. But we'll just try again. Then we went to dinner with William, Jeremy, Erin, Andy, Sonya and Rachel. After dinner there was a dance dance revalution. (I'm just being silly now) and then everyone came over to our house to sit by the fire. It was so cold out but the fire made it fun. Won't be able to do that much longer. Then Sunday James, Alivia and I went to see the people who make the "Signing Time" videos. Alivia loved it and we loved watching her. I didn't know what she would think but as soon as they walked on stage she started kicking her legs and laughing. Each time they would sing a song she would move her hands all around each other like she was signing then she would sign more each time a song ended. It was about an hour show and then we went to the children's museum. It was so cute and Alivia could do almost all the activites. We got back from Harrisburg (where the show was) around 2 and at 4 John, Will (Mr. Late) and Jeremy came over to watch the Steelers. There was great food (thanks to Erin...and a little bit me), Sean, Denise and the twins came at half time and the Steelers played like they are supposed to play. After we carved designs into pumpkins. I got to use a power drill and that was fun.
It was a great weekend.

Answers to prayers .....Alivia started eating 2 new foods this weekend (pretzels and graham crackers). She has only been getting up 2 or 3 times at night, she's taken a few steps AND she takes the Gleevec like its not big deal!!! Thank God. Her stomach looks a bit smaller to me and that is pretty exciting. We'll be able to tell from her count if things are going well.

I'll write my thanks later when I tell about the doc visit.

We are having a fundraiser at Isaac's deli on Monday night. All you do is go and eat or get take-out from Isaac's and 25% of our bill goes to the bone marrow drive. What a great fund raisers. You get to eat out and help us out. If you want to go or want to hand out tickets (you have to have a ticket) please post your e-mail address (which I will erase) and I'll forward you a copy of the tickets. You can go to the Isaac's in Lancaster, Harrisburgh or Hershey. Feel free to hand out the tickets to anyone you want. The more the merrier
