Zev and Fi: Zachary is TWO, Zev and I have been married 10 years and mama is almostdone with radiation therapy!!

Our baby boy is 2; Zev and I celebrated our 10 year wedding anniversary a few days later, dadda surprised mama with a fantastic birthday party (complete with a grey and pink sparkly tutu cake!!) and mama is almost DONE with her brain radiation! Woot woot! One more DAY to go to complete the 6 week radiation therapy :-) I will have an MRI soon after I complete my radiation therapy, but the most accurate MRI scan of what my tumor "looks like" (hopefully it's completely annihilated!) will be 2 months after I complete treatment (so around end of June). The reason why I have to have an MRI a week after I complete radiation is for my oncologist to see how my tumor is doing, for chemotherapy purposes. I am due to commence a new chemotherapy regime, expected to last one year, about 2-3 weeks after I complete my radiation therapy. I and my entire family truly appreciate your prayers and we're confident that this combo treatment of intense radiation plus intense chemo will knock this brain cancer to the curb once and for all!

So, sorry for the delay in posting, but please enjoy a recap from these past few weeks :-) Although I have energy in the mornings, after radiation every day at 230pm, I feel quite tired and take a nap: 1 to 2 hours. Also, time really does fly with an active, adorable toddler!

Our handsome little man.

On a date with my favorite man under (ahem) 40 :-)) Gosh I look so tired here! Just starting radiation: 2 weeks into it I think!

My 2 Z men :-)

Zachary with little Nora (her mama and I are secretly hoping these two will get married some day :-))

Grandma Judy channeling Katniss from the Hunger Games :-)

Gracias Hans and Gena for my favorite flowers!!

Judy got to come and see one of my radiation sessions!

This cake took waaaaaaay longer than "1hr and 15 mins" to make! But Zachary had an authentic homemade 3D Firetruck cake for his birthday! Fondant from Michaels makes everything better...

They even had the number 2 truck come! It wasn't planned though :-))

Zachary was the last to leave his birthday cake table! Little Ansley from next door loves Zachary and I think he has a crush on her! I heard him say on the monitor just this morning "Ansley! Ansley!" and then "hi girlsssss" Ansley has two younger sisters :-)

Meme inspecting the art show at Zachary's part time day care :-)

Zachary testing out his new bike from Meme and Howard! He loves it :-) Gracias Meme and Howard!

At the radiation clinic. I love the spring flowers! Daffodils and all the pretty and colorful flowers make me smile :-))))))

Zachary's first height chart measurement! Hold still Zachary :-)

Out on another play date with my favorite little man.

Another fun play date with dear friends.

About 3 weeks into my radiation therapy, I finally had to go get my head shaved by my wonderful stylist, Katie! And here I was thinking that I would lose my hair! Lol

This is what the ribbon that she shaved into the side of my head looks like!

Our wonderful 10 year anniversary off-road Segway tour! So much fun ;-)

On a nice afternoon date in Virginia beach with my twin: Meme! (Zachary picks out the wig I am to wear. The short pixie one is called "Wendy" and the long one is called "Sophia Loren"!!)

Zachary and Ozzie under the cross of Jesus. I love our church and love the friends that Zachary is making in the nursery!

Happy Easter! The Lord IS RISEN!!!
