The House of Higgins: February 7

Jacob Cancer Update

This week we had an appointment with Jacob's oncologist, Dr. Savin, at Texas Oncology. He had his bi-annual PET scan a few weeks ago and we found out that it was all clear. We're bummed that his doctor is moving to Portland, but he set us up with his partner and Jacob will be seeing him in the future. Also, we are moving to annual PET scans and blood work, so we won't be back until early 2017. 


From February 2014 to 2016, the progression of Jacob's oncology appointments! (He could only get in on a school day for Embry so she wasn't there with us)


Todd Urology Update

Right after Jacob's oncology appointment we had Todd's follow up with his pediatric urology, Dr. Nosnik. He said Todd is healing really well from both surgeries. We have an appointment in 3 months for one final check up. He said he's still swollen from the hydrocele (hernia) surgery, but I certainly can't tell since his testicles were so swollen from the hernias beforehand. The swelling is expected for six months post surgery, so totally normal.

 
Worn out from a morning of doctor's appointments!

It was World Cancer Day (Feb 4) so we were wearing our purple to support! Had to snap a pic in front of the purple wall!




Happy Swinging Boy

We tried Todder boy in the front yard swing for the first time this week and to say he loved it would be an understatement!

Doesn't everyone need a monogram for their highchair?



Toddy went to the childcare at MOPS on Friday for the first time. 3 hours away from Mommy and the childcare workers in his room said he did fantastic and was "sooooooo sweet". Yes, he has a super cute fox backpack of course!

Everything Embry: March 22

Sunday

Last Sunday was heavenly! I slept in so late we missed church and when I got up Jacob was out the door to take Embry to the zoo for the day. I spent the whole day laying on the couch binging on Mad Men! That afternoon we took Embry's big pink car she got for Christmas outside for the first time and she had a blast driving it. We even took it down the street to visit Eliot. She thought she was hot stuff!

Daddy and E with the lion


She talked non-stop about the choo-choo she rode with Daddy.



Cruising!

St. Patrick's Day

My love of holidays continued on St. Patrick's Day. I made festive green Rice Krispie Treats and we had a fun morning with a bunch of friends at the Arboretum. It's their Spring series with hundreds of thousands of tulips, it's totally one of my favorite times there. They also have started back up their free face painting, petting zoo, Kindermusik class, etc. on Mondays and Tuesdays so we packed a lunch and took part in Kindermusik class. E took such a good nap that by the time she got up it was past 4:00pm, but we still went and got our half priced Sonic shakes! That ended up being our dinner for the night, hah!
