Our Family Outing

We went to the Albanese Candy Factory. It was great-the kids had a blast. THis is where they make most of the supply of gummy worms.
We also registered the kids today to attend school at a local Christian Church on the days that we have treatment in Chicago. They tell us everyday how much they miss all of their friends at KK's so hopefully this will help, although it will not come close to filling the gap. They miss you all so much. We recieved a video from them all today, and as the boys cheered in excitement to see them all, Ryan and I cried-we miss home so very much!!
We increased Ryans chemo yesterday, so he is up to 10 pills each day. This afternoon he has definately noticed a difference and is taking a nap. So far he has not been nauseated, just extremely tired and a bit dizzy. (Not to mention his short term memory is terrible-we joke about this daily!!) We are praying each day that he will be able to continue this treatment without major side effects.
Tonight we will be celebrating Kolby's 3rd birthday. Happy birthday big boy, we all love you so very much!! I will post pictures of his mini party tonight.
Love to you all!
