Lots of happenings at our house as you can see. One pic of Sam posing with his baseball gear (although the bat is too big for him). A pic of Sarah and also our friends Jeff and Jen last weekend during their visit. Jeff thought it would be cool to take a picture of me while I was taking a picture of him. Wonder how his pic turned out? And finally the pumpkin vine growing at our front door... we had a giant 140 pound pumpkin in our front yard last year that Sarah won at a Trader Joe's contest around Halloween. We figure one of the seeds must have accidentally landed in one of our flower beds and started growing a new vine - and now we want to see if it will produce giant pumpkins or just regular sized ones!An update on Sarah: she hasn't been feeling very good over the past few days but it's hard for her to describe how she feels. Mostly it seems to be fatigue and a lack of energy. She got booster shots for her red and white blood cells last week, so that's probably part of it. The plan is for her to get chemo tomorrow and we hope that the continued chemo will provide systemic whole-body treatment that improves her health over time. There's nothing more we can do right now but carry on and see how she feels after a few more weeks of treatment. And the next scan and tumor marker test should also tell us if the Abraxane is helping her.

The pumpkin story is impressive. We've had no success intentionally growing pumpkins at all! The heat withers them away. Sorry to hear you aren't feeling better Sarah. I hope to call you soon. (I have to make sure there is a good amount of time in between our conversations so you can recover from all my talking) Take care!
