When we were young(er)

Thank you to Ellen for watching Cutler and Aunt Pat for watch Mason to give us a few hours to get out and enjoy a nice dinner together.  It was a much needed break to spend some alone time together without the sound of a monitor or a nurse constantly walking into the room.  We had a nice relaxing dinner at a little Spanish place where Melanie battled me for every last tapas on the table and then proceeded to drink too much sangria where I then had to hold her hair while she paid for the sangria.  Ok, made that last part up, but the food was great and the glass of wine was good, but the company was incredible.  And no, the picture above is not from tonight, but from when we first started dating several years ago and I thought I would show how little Melanie has aged compared to how much I have.

As for Cutler, all is still going well.  No more chemo meds and so now it is just time to hang out in the hospital and play with mom during the day and hopefully sleep through the night.  He must be going through a growth spurt as he never seems to be full and is always wanting more milk, which is good.  His weight is almost back to his pre hospital admittance weight and I swear he looks taller to me in just the two weeks we have been there.  He is definitely teething and based on the amount of slobber, I expect he will have his full set of teeth by Monday morning.

Big soccer game for Mason, let’s hope he scores some more goals and crushes the other team  has fun.  Updates and up to date photos tomorrow.
