Baby Shower

On Nov 10, some awesome women threw a baby shower for Ava and me.  It was a lot of fun and we got some great gifts.  Katherine was there and wanted to be involved in everything.  The last time I had baby showers was when I was pregnant with her, so it was cool to have her involved this time.

Another Spinal Tap

On Nov 6, Joey had another spinal tap with Vincristine in his port and started his week of steroids.  It was sort of a rough week for him.  For the next 3 days, he ended up sleeping in the nurses office at school, and he had body aches and a head ache for several days.  He made it through and is now feeling much better.

I like to document things and I finally got to take a video of his spinal tap. I've heard from some people that it's not easy to watch.  I sort of forget because it's just a part of our lives right now.

It's a large file, so I posted it onto Youtube.  You can watch it at the link below.  Keep in mind that Joey was completely awake and had climbed onto the table with no fighting at all.

Halloween 2012

For the first time, we did trick-or-treating in our own neighborhood.  Our friend Aaliyah came out with us.  After going through the neighborhood, we went to the church for the Fall Festival.

Maternity Pictures

I thought it would be nice to get some pictures of the kids with my pregnant belly.  They've been having a lot of fun with it and Joey kisses it several times a day, so I wanted to capture a little bit of it to help them remember it later.













Pumpkins at the Park

For the last 9 years or so, we've been going to the Night of the Living Zoo, so we decided to try something different this year and check out Pumpkins at the Park at Tanganyika. The kids liked it and the adults liked that it wasn't packed with people.














Camp Quality Reunion

We got together with the Camp Quality folks for a reunion at Cox Farm.  The boys had a blast together.
