Roller What???

Can you beleive this? We have the best daycare EVER! On one of their many feild trips, they decided to go to the Roller skating rink. When we dropped the boys off, we had no idea that they would be bringing Jacob to roller skate....boy were we wrong. Looking at these pictures, it's so hard to beleive that our little toddler isn't even 3 yet and is roller skating like a pro! Of course he has his "friend Buddy" Lucas with him.

Thank you For the Support! Where we are now...

The last few weeks have been so surreal, I don't think we've had a chance to digest anything until just recently. One moment I'm watching my husband sit in excruciating pain as he was first examined in the ER and then I'm watching him recuperate from surgery and being given the news that he has testicular cancer. He's been amazing through the whole thing. Stubborn yes, but willing to do what was necessary no matter what.
We had our meeting with the Oncologist on Tuesday and that's when the big picture became relevant to our small world. Chemo Therapy or Radiation...we are actually leaning towards Chemo since it's only one dose and radiation would be 5 times a week for 3 weeks. The Oncologist said that both are just as effective and if Jeff plans on working through the treatments, Chemo may be a better choice. We will see. They called today to see if we had made a decision but not yet. We are hoping to start up the process at the very beginning of September but we will keep you all posted! Time is a monumental mound of inevitability....you know what's coming and you know what must be done but it still sits like a hard pit in your throat difficult to swallow.
Through all the chaos that has made up the last few weeks, we are so grateful. We will be celebrating Gavi's first birthday but because of the craziness that has been the last month, it will just be a few of his little friends at an art studio in Downtown Sacramento. Although it will be small, it will be magical. We've also changed our diet to reflect a more wholesome regimen. No more high fructose corn syrup! Beware people....it's everywhere. It's hard to find natural food these days! Crazy.
The support we've received has been astounding and humbling. Thank you all so very much.
