Melanie took Cutler to the oncologist yesterday for his monthly appointment and everything went well.  The bloodwork still looks great, but his host percentage is till 8%.  However, Dr. Weinthal said that there is no reason to worry.  Some people take years to get to 100%, so we are just going to sit back and let that happen over time and try not to let it cause us to stress.  We have enough things to stress over instead. 

Otherwise everything is going great.  Mason is playing baseball again, this time a modified coach pitch where they get a few pitches to try and hit and then they hit from the tee.  Unfortunately I, as the pitcher, have hit him three times now causing tears only once.  For some reason he is the only kid I have hit.  Hope to bring the camera to a game one of these days and get some good pictures of him in action, although that would allow you all to see something that you would have never caught me in otherwise…a Cardinals jersey.  Mason is completely enamored by the Cardinals, thanks to his cousin Hunter, and so he have changed from the Raptors to the Cardinals and I have a feeling this will last as long as we have a choice of our team name.  Don’t worry about me, I figured that since the Cardinals collapsed just as hard as the Cubs normally do it was only fitting.  Besides, I am in the midst of a nasty divorce with the Cubs and my new team the Rangers are doing quite well.

Cutler continues to dazzle with his growth.  Eating is no longer a concern and he is all over the house.  With Mason we baby proofed the house, but never needed it.  With Cutler, I am not sure if there is enough baby proofing available.  The boy just loves to explore and open and shut doors and is really starting to love the outdoors.  The only problem with going outside is that he wants to chase his big brother around and do everything that Mason does.  That makes it quite tiring for mom and dad.

That’s it for now.  I apologize for no posts lately, but I have been working some pretty ugly hours.  Once things calm down I promise to get to the brother’s day stories.  In the interim, here are few pictures from us playing outside a few weeks ago.  And before I go, please take some time to check out our Light The Night Page, http://pages.lightthenight.org/ntxok/DallasL10/TeamCutler, as we are raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.   A donation of any size is greatly appreciated and if you are in the Dallas area on October 24th, please sign up and walk with us.  We would love to grow our team and help the fight against cancer.
