Elf, the Musical

My parents took the boys to see Elf up in the city last night. They had a super good time and really enjoyed it! :)

Phew!

Quickly threw together these little gifts for Logan's teachers tomorrow. This holiday season has really snuck up on me - I'm buying gifts and wrapping much later than I am usually doing. Yeesh!

School field trip!

Lunch time at Santa Clara University while we wait for the holiday play to begin. :)

More Twitch party pics!

This first pic is of me and Raj - he used to work for me at Microsoft a few years ago and was a rock star. Now he works for Jon - and is still a rock star! :)

The second pic is of me and my handsome hubby (I look a little awkward but it's so rare to get a great pic of Jon smiling, I had to post it!!). ❤️❤️❤️

My fishies!

Now that Callum's counts have recovered, he's finally back in the pool, for lessons, with his brother. (He's had a rocky start since he's been gone so long but he still seems to be enjoying it) :)

Twitch Holiday Party

Last night was Jon's company holiday party, which had a Roaring 20's theme. We had a little fun with the photo booth pics. :)

We'll miss you Carly!

Our Nurse Practitioner, Carly, is leaving LPCH. :( She's moving on to another hospital, to take on a new challenge in her career. We are happy for her since it sounds like a great opportunity, but selfishly we are very very sad (and when I say we, I think I am the one who will miss Carly the most!!). :(

She has been a phenomenal nurse, confidant and friend. She's the glue that's held our team together. She's been so supportive, watchful, firm but friendly and always always patient with my BAJILLION questions and spreadsheets and schedules and checklists and emails and phone calls. She's been with us from the start so of course it's hard to think anyone else will be able to catch on to our craziness and hang on for the ride, like she has. They haven't yet named a replacement so we'll see who ends up (trying to - ha!) fill her shoes.

Luckily, the Valley is small. So I'm sure we'll cross paths again in the future. :)

On a more happy note, Callum has finally recovered and made counts today - yes!!! (ANC is back up to 1267!!). That means we don't have to go back in until our next chemo appt in 2 weeks. No more pokes or long drives. And we also resume his chemotherapy at home starting tonight (which is also very important! It's made us nervous at how long he's actually been off it). We'll check his counts again when we go back in 2 weeks to see how he's handling the chemo (among other things). :)
