“Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.” ~ Groucho Marx
Tucker LOVED Disney. What kid doesn't? It was priceless to see his face when his jaw hit the floor as he realized POOH BEAR was standing 10 feet away from him. He was star struck!! :) The other highlights were meeting Tow Mater and Lightening McQueen and having BUZZ LIGHTYEAR...yes THE buzzlightyear ;) wave at him. He told every single one of the doctors and nurses at proton about that awesome moment. It was so precious. He loved the toy story ride and could have ridden it a million times which surprised us because he normally doesn't like rides but he really loves toy story in general so I guess that helped. We saw the Disney Jr. Show which is a puppet show of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Little Einsteins, Handy Manny, and other pirate characters from the disney channel that I don't remember the name of but were cute. Tucker clapped and danced to the music which was sooo good to see after he had been sick for so long. Tucker did not get sick the entire weekend and really enjoyed himself, so we in turn really enjoyed ourselves also. If Tucker is happy and feeling well we feel like we are on cloud nine it is such a blessing. I don't have a lot of good pictures from our weekend. Tucker liked to see all the characters from afar so we didn't get pictures with them. And it was so crowded we barely could stop for a second to take a pic without worrying about loosing our toes to another stroller. :P But i will share the pics I did take below. A HUGE thank you to my aunt Linda for getting us into Disney and helping us create such wonderful memories. We spent Sunday at my aunt's and enjoyed catching up with them. Tucker got to play with 2 of his second cousins and they had a blast. It was so nice to spend time with family. Thank you again aunt Linda we love you!
Today is Saturday. Tucker had a chemo treatment yesterday...his last one in FL hooray! They changed up his meds a little bit and his experience this time has been wonderful. As you know last treatment was awful. He was terribly ill for 7 straight days. This time thanks to all of your extra prayers Tucker is doing wonderful. He did not get sick during his treatment at all which was huge because last time he got sick several times before his drip was even over. He has eaten pretty good last night and today and his energy is no less than during the week. Last time he was a limp noodle for several days before we even had strength to sit up. So as you can tell it is an extremely different experience this time. Praise God!! What a wonderful blessing for our last chemo weekend in Florida. We are just taking each treatment as it comes and we know that every treatment may not be like this one from here on out, which we are prepared for, but we will definitely celebrate when it goes smoothly and praise God through the good and the bad. No matter how bad some situations seem, someone is always going through something worse. We have so much to be grateful for.
This week HOME seemed to pull at my heart strings a little more than it has prior. (Hence the carolina song playing with the disney pics..i know it doesnt really match but i love the song and its my blog so i can do what i want right? ;) I miss the beginning of fall in Greer. The pumpkin and pansy stands on the side of the highways, the vibrant leaves dancing on our trees around our house, the crisp morning temperature that perks you up when you step outside. I even miss seeing all the over the top fall and halloween decorations that adorn the neighborhoods. If we were home we probably would have gone apple picking by now and I would have gotten so excited to buy my first jug of apple cider of the season. The only way you would know it is fall here are the signs at Starbucks tempting me to buy a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Which I indulged in one morning and it was sooo yummy...but then it made me miss all my friends at home who also love pumpkin spice lattes and Greer in the fall! So needless to say yes I am missing home but I am keeping my eye on the prize and I know that it won't be long and I will be home. And we will be just in time to take Tucker on a hayride and pick out a nice fat pumpkin and finally welcome fall in Greer for ourselves! :) I can't wait.
