Saturday night was the formal dance party at the RMH house. Everyone dressed up and we had a great time. Virginia (the Family Album Project) was here talking amazing photos, there was a delicious catered dinner and who doesn't love a chocolate fountain for dessert?! The DJ had the kids dancing and Owen had some super sweet moves. It was so much fun!
Owen and I read about the process involved in making this Butterfly art work in the Family kitchen. It's all made of paper and very cool!
This was the first Monday where we had nothing going on. For everyone at the RMH, you know that Owen has been begging for a big juicy steak. We headed to Costco today for some amazing Ribeye and had a little cookout on the RMH patio tonight with our friends. The weather was gorgeous and the company was even better. Thanks Patrick for doing the grilling. Owen tried steak for the first time ever (he would never try it before) and he said "it's pretty good". He ate a few bites but tore into the corn and Debbie gave him a giant rib. He's more of a rib kid I think. Now I have enough steak for a steak salad tomorrow and a steak burrito on Wednesday.. win win.
This last photo made me laugh. Clearly Owen has missed being outdoors this year. He kept collecting "treasures".. dead leaves and sticks.. and called them "nature." We need to get this boy out more. These "treasures" are now in my nightstand drawer in our room. Sigh.
Back home...
Missing these loves like crazy!! Logi's speech is just exploding. When he says "Love YOU mama!" .. my heart explodes! I am going to have them and my husband in my arms in 11 days. I can't wait. :)
Blessings from Palo Alto.

It melts my heart to hear that Owen says he feels better and stronger every day. He looks just amazing! Continuing to pray with you for your donor families and I can only imagine the flurry of emotions you must be feeling. To see Owen so healthy and thriving again I'm sure is making your heart so full! You waited so faithfully for this! I'm so happy the recovery is going smoothly and that you will be home soon with your family!! Prayers for his biopsy tomorrow and the work on his SVC you mentioned before.
