Happy November!

I really mean it. Happy November! This week will mark 5 months post transplant for Porter. And, with the exception of his up and down white blood cell count (neutrophils), he is doing better than ever. He is continuing to eat, and with his birthday on the horizon next month, we are glad we aren't planning a low protein celebration.

Sunday feels. Shhh. Don't wake them.

We had a nice Halloween. Katie was Ariel and Porter was a tiger. The tiger stayed at home with Dad to handout treats and Katie and mom trick-or-treated around the neighborhood.

Is she Raggedy Ann, or Ariel?

Porter loves tractors and lawnmowers. He will sit on the lawnmower for hours if I let him. Just pretending to "drive, drive". He will also watch me mow the yard from start to finish. I hope he's just as enthusiastic when I make him mow when he's 12. #tractor #mowthelawn #PorterforPresident

We borrowed a @tinkercrate kit from a friend. Katie is seriously hooked! She connected the electronics herself and ran out of paint making awesome art on the Spin Art Machine. Looks like someone is getting a subscription for the holidays. Does tinker crate have stuff for grown ups? #tinker #makestuff #electronics #art #project
