On the Comeback Trail

Raina is finally starting to feel better after a week long stay in the hospital. Here she is this afternoon inspecting mom's cinnamon scone after having a few bites.

Dad's Sign

Raina has a cold this week and is not permitted to leave her hospital room (to prevent her from getting other kiddies sick). The staff added signs outside her door, so did her dad.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. Tough raising those little hellions, eh!

Here's little V and Mom getting some quality time in the hospital yesterday. Penny snoozing in the background...

Fashion Statement

Dad totally flaked on uploading this awesome picture... so here's the
belated post.

Raina's quick-set nailpolish or whatever Mom applied before starting
chemo earlier this week. Too cute.

Snacking

Round 3

Kicking off Round 3 today with some playtime and Cheerios, of course.

Playtime

...and playing catch with Uncle Jon. Busy day!

Happy Easter!

Happiness resulting presumably from aforementioned French fry dinner.

Good Stuff!

Milkshake, fries, ketchup and Old Bay mayo for dinner!

Coffee

Breakfast

Note the lack of feeding tube which came flying out late last night. As far as Dad can tell she's no worse for wear!
