Hoppy Bunny Day! (Happy Easter)

We had a great time on Saturday at Tommy and Val's house. They hosted a pre-Easter dinner and Easter egg hunt. Blake had a great time looking for eggs and was very excited to find "moneys" inside. Dinner was awesome and with the exception of Blake wanting to lay claim to all of Taylor's toys it was harmonious. It is so wonderful to see the family and to watch all the kids grow up together! It's always amazing to see how much the kids change in such short amounts of time! We hope to have many more enjoyable family events throughout the years!

On Easter Sunday Blake, Alexia and Desiree went to Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa Wilson's house for Easter brunch and yet another Easter egg hunt. Blake of course loved this as well. He hunted for eggs with his cousin Caroline and had fun breaking open the eggs afterwards. He filled himself up with mashed potatoes and bread and successfully avoided having to take a nap. We also had a fun Easter egg hunt at home in which he found 35 eggs with "moneys" in them. He had lots of fun counting his money and putting money into his cow bank and his sister's piggy bank.

On a non-Easter note, Blake's visit to the hospital on Tuesday did not go as well as we hoped. He was scheduled to have a spinal tap with chemo and a 24 hour infusion of high dose chemo. He was unable to have this infusion for the second week in a row because of low cell counts. His ANC was at a 5.4 this time and must be at a 7.5 in order to undergo the treatment. This will be his second week in a row without any chemo. While the Doctors assure us that this is normal, we are still worried whenever his counts are low as it increases his risk of infections.

We are praying for better counts next Tuesday and appreciate all of your prayers and words of support as well!
