Keith was on his feet swashbuckling, boxing and cooking up some grub.
Cole took time out of his busy cat-terrorizing schedule to box and re-decorate.
Ally did what she does best...snack.
We squeezed in a trip to the park. Keith was slightly frustrated at what he couldn't enjoy, but Brent took him on a hunt for Big Foot which greatly improved his mood, even if his search came up empty-handed.
Maybe next time.
Grandma Smart brought all kinds of fun Easter activities to enjoy. Cole and Ally were fully entertained with egg-decorating, Easter playdough, new stickers and sidewalk chalk. Keith dug in when he was up to it.
Keith and Cole did a little bit of wrestling.

Keith's immune system was down again by the end of the week so he had to have shots the last 3 nights, but he took them like a man and he didn't even cry. Today he asked me if I had to get poked too and if so, did I want a Lightening McQueen band-aid or a Spiderman band-aid? Of course I had to let him poke me and I picked Lightening McQueen. I'm happy to report that my son doesn't hate me as I had feared, even though I've officially become the shot-giver in our household.
A good week was topped off with great news. Drum roll please...
Snick had their baby yesterday: Evelyn Kate Jordan. Keith, Cole and Ally have a new cousin! Of course, she is beautiful and we can't wait to meet her!
Overall, a good week full of good things. One of the best things being that Keith only has 5 days left of radiation to go. Phew!

Glad to know the radiation is coming to the end and things are looking up. Hang in there.

Love you guys! I was thinking about you on Monday (well, I think about you every day but particularly on Monday) and admiring the strength and stamina you, Keith, and your family demonstrate.
Darcie- this is Hayley from Prosser..way back from high school anyways I found your blog through kim and justin's blog and my heart just goes out to you and your sweet little family. You are an amazing mother. As I was reading your posts things were really put into perspective in my life. And your little boy is such a fighter! I know he gets it from his mom. You trully are an inspiration and just wanted to know that you and your family are in my prayers. I am so glad your little guy had a better week and I am so glad glad he got to go the childrens museum- I would have done the same thing!
