Spring Break

To start Spring Break, the kids and I went to Prince George for 4 days. In addition to visiting Grandma Wendy (weenie!) and Uncle Jon & Auntie Becky, we were able to see lots of other family as well. We went to the playground with Auntie Sue, and cousins Jenn, Colin and Ethan. We had Auntie Grandma Sharon, and cousins Kristy, Jeremy, Jaiden and Emma over for dinner and a rousing game of Telestrations.  Eric was so good with Emma, who is a toddler, and spent quite a bit of time playing hide and seek with her. Some of these people are cousins in law or 2nd cousins and beyond, but it's all too confusing for me so I just call them cousins; Eric says they are "half" cousins. Eric had so much energy when we were in Prince George; it was so amazing (and exhausting) to see! 

Back at home, Eric had a check up at the clinic on Friday. Since he is feeling so well, it was a quick in and out! His hemoglobin and platelets are still in the normal range, which is absolutely incredible. However, his white blood cell counts are dropping, which is expected with his current treatment. Since he's currently receiving treatment and his white blood cell counts are dropping, they want to keep a close eye on him, so we go back for another check up next week. Due to the long weekend, we'll go on Thursday and Eric is pretty excited since the Easter Bunny will be at the hospital Thursday afternoon. 

After Eric's clinic visit Friday, I dropped him off at Granny's house. Later on Friday Daddy and Joel drove over to Granny's for the 3 of them to have a stay-cation, and for me to spend the weekend all alone at home. It has been a lovely break from fetching snacks for small people every 10 minutes! 

The kids have one week of Spring Break left. They come home from Granny's today and Grandma arrives to spend the week here. We'll be having some low key time at home, perhaps with the odd adventure and/or play date mixed in.
