Biopsy and Anzac Day

Can you believe we are almost at Molly's 5th birthday? We are currently on the eve of this momentous occasion, and actually, this time 5 years ago, I had seen my midwife, and was assured that this baby was not going anywhere and I needed to be booked in for an induction in 9 days time!!
BUT, this post is not about Molly...

The Wednesday after the Easter weekend saw Jasper and I at the hospital for his annual bone marrow biopsy..
He has grown about 3cm in 3 months and put on a bit of weight, so we were both pleased!
 The Same Day room we are usually in was too full on our day, so we got our own room.. well, we had to share with another little lad, but he was in after us, and gone before us, so basically we were alone!
xBox kept him occupied!
I can't find his blood counts right this minute.. but they had all dropped a bit. It never makes me happy, and I kind of freaked out, but then I think that he does have decent counts for a FA kid, just shit for him!
 As did Lego post biopsy!
 Dinner was pizza, as per his request.. we bought it as we didn't get home til after 5pm, so no time to make the bases!
 Our littlest lad also turned 2 just before Anzac Day!
 My parents are usually with us for Anzac Day, but there were in Darwin this year, so the kids and I went to a local Dawn Service, then to the Garden of Remembrance. This is my Granddads plaque. We put fresh poppies on it every year..

 Then we wander through the memorial grave stones. It is quite beautiful, peaceful, and sad.



 Playing at the park.. climbing trees and getting lost... (she could not find me, and told a lady that I was "sitting under some trees with a blue and green picnic blanket, and her name is Brooke Leah Miles". haha, she found me!)

 Jasper gets camera shy,,, so I had to Paparazzi snap at him,...


 Molly has taught herself how to tie her hair! clever clots!
Next report will be about Molly turning 5..
