Biggest Need

MONEY

It's not glamorous. It's not pretty. It's not fun. It's not creative. It's not ingenious. It's not smart. It's not comical.

It is endearing. It is powerful. It is helpful. It is necessary. It is provision. It is humbling. It is impactful. It is peace-providing.

Catch Up Photos

Some photos from when we were in-patient all the way up to Dempsey's birthday.


Dempsey and Sawyer playing hockey while Daddy runs with Dempsey and his "power tower".


Dempsey liked this little fire truck. It's a control thing.


Brother bat battle.


The boys had fun at Seacrest Studios (at CHOC on the 2nd floor) playing with the green screen.


Here's Dempsey showing major love for his BioMat.


Quesadilla require ketchup and a movie.


My hero and I wandered the halls of CHOC on the weekend because there is nothing else to do.
We found some lovely artwork on the walls.


CHOC has one of the FIVE Turtle Talk with Crush experiences.
How awesome is that?


Detox bath* in his own bathtub.
*epsom salt, baking soda, rosemary & juniper berry essential oils


Our staff spoiled him... they went into the Child Life room (on the weekend) and grabbed this basketball hoop and 2 balls, some Legos, and a game so he wouldn't be bored.


Daddy-Dempsey smiles and laughter. I don't know what they're watching/ doing.
Don't care. Doesn't matter. I just love that they are happy.


Seacrest Studios on the 2nd floor of CHOC.


The Studio (above) does BINGO each weekday.
By this picture, can you tell who won a game?


CHOC 2nd floor also has a small movie theater. Rock on.
We had it to ourselves.

While Dempsey and I were wandering the halls, we discovered a 2nd cafeteria (1st floor).
So, we gave it a try on the Monday. We'll stick with the 2nd floor cafeteria.


This kid LOVED playing basketball.


Brothers and an iphone.


Showing me "I'm strong!" while sporting his "He is able" shirt
that our friend Kirsten blessed him with.


These pics show a rousing game of Monkey in the Middle with Granddad.



Detox bath at home, complete with his protein shake and his "soapies" (Green from NEOLIFE).


Post swimming snuggly Superman towel.


Swimming is a good energy-outer.

Sawyer and a bigger Superman towel, all smiles after a romp in the pool.



These pics show we take stickers seriously...


... and our In n Out lunches.



Dempsey is giving Sawyer bunny ears.


This is a typical sighting when Granddad is around.


Sawyer. My heartthrob.
I just love him with long hair... which he doesn't have at the time of this post.


More brother bunny ears.


Pool posing.


Lock n load.


Nightly essential oil routine.


Kamatz-kitty love.




Self-explanatory.


Pool fun.



Checking out a HUGE, troublesome caterpillar (future moth).
It was evicted after this photo shoot.
He at MOST of my tomato leaves.
So, I tossed him in the neighbor's yard hoping to make a bird very full.

Dempsey's 5th Birthday

Our baby turned FIVE on Wednesday!! How can this be?

Dempsey loves to help make his smoothies.

Dempsey was blessed with wonderful gifts from loving people.

We are SO happy Uncle Nathan (my cousin) is home and able to enjoy birthday bashes with us!

Dempsey shows off Granny's artsy envelope AND his new age.

Mommy and Dempsey with his BATMAN birthday cake.

Granddad, Dempsey, Granny & Sawyer.


My guys FaceTime-ing with Gram & Grampa (WA state).
Technology for the win!

Dempsey's birthday request- a "movie night"- being granted.
Jake bought him the Angry Birds movie & we turned our living room into a "theater".
Those two boys giggled and laughed. So awesome!
