a quick update

Dave has had a pretty good week. His counts are on the low side but not low enough to need a transfusion. He did experience some back pain on Wednesday that was related to the Neulasta injection. The worst thing he has had to deal with this round is the redness on his face and hands. He looks like he has a bad sunburn and he says it feels like that too. It has even peeled like a sunburn. A friend gave him some lotion when they were here for a visit and that has helped alot.

All in all its been a pretty uneventful week around here. It has been very cold here....like in the 30's and 40's. Brrrr. Erin and Samuel got hair cuts.....Erin got 5 inches cut. She didn't like it at first, but she has been playing around with it, flat ironing it and pulling it up.....I think she likes it now. I personally think it is adorable. It is always an ordeal to get Samuels hair cut. He argues about why he doesn't need one until the deed is finally done. School is going really well. We have lots of time, and we are trying making the most of it. I usually do Math, Spelling, and English in the mornings and Dave does Science, History, and Latin in the afternoons. We have a great Children's Museum nearby that Dave has really utilized in teaching the kids Science. He also downloaded a really cool geography app. I love that he is able to teach these subjects. He is enjoying it and I know the kids are really learning alot. He is planning to do a Unit Study on China soon. Then we can go visit Chinatown. There are so many neat things to do here. So many great places to take field trips. Hopefully we will get to do alot of them before we come home. I'm not sure how educational this is....but the Rodeo is coming up in March. I would really like to go....Dave, not so much! We'll see. :) Well, Dave and I have been watching the 2nd season of the show 24 on Netflix. We are about to watch episode 4....goodnight!
