Day at the park

We had a big day today. Ashton went to his first dentist appointment and did FABULOUS! I couldn't have asked for him to be any better behaved. He was also cavity free which made things even better!!!! Yea Ash!

After lunch with our best friends, Kellie and Owen, I brought Ashton home for a quick nap. When all the babies woke up we were off to the park to meet Kellie and Owen again for a play date and a nice train ride around the park. So fun! Here are a few pictures of the kids on the train and playing at the park.





On another note, I meet a really nice lady at the park. She has identical twin boys who are 15 months old. They were precious and after talking for a few minutes she tells me that one of the twins was just diagnosed with a very rare type of cancer. Since the boys are identical they tested the other twin. He is fine for the time being but they said he has a 50% chance of also having cancer down the road. The baby had his first chemo treatment at Children's Hospital and the mother was really optimistic. After watching my sister-in-law and my nephew Aiden go through this same thing, I know that sometimes all you can do is hope and pray. I told her about my nephew and how sick he was and how the odds were stacked against him. Aiden is now cancer free and acts just like any other 3 year old little boy.
She offered me her phone number and said she is new to the area and really could use a friend. My heart just really went out to her. Please keep this family in your prayers. I just can't imagine what she is going through. I know it must be heart breaking to have an extremely sick child and also have to leave your other baby at home. I can't even begin to understand what she must be going through. Please pray for this family.
