Mommy time

Nicholas has been a little delayed in receiving some of his vaccines since I'm immunocompromised (and some vaccines contain a little of the live virus....= risky for me).  In preparation for preschool in September, and in an effort to be an upstanding member of society, he finally received his MMR vaccine just over a week ago.  To be cautious, I had to be away from him for a week.  So I went on vacation.

Nicholas was, understandably, a little upset that he couldn't go on vacation too (after all, we had just gone on one to AZ).  But he eventually seemed to accept that this was just a "mommy trip."  I went to my parents' place in Gig Harbor, WA, and was joined by my mom.  Here are some pics....

I'm the proud new owner of a set of.....

Punctal plugs!  These tiny silicone plugs were placed into my tear ducts yesterday in hopes of relieving some of my dry eye symptoms (a common side-effect of stem cell transplants).  It took less than a minute, and was painless (no needles!), yet nevertheless made me woozy :)  Anyway, I'm still waiting to fully evaluate them.

Nicholas and I went to Arizona last week to visit Nanny, Grandy, and Aunt Whitney.  We also drove down to Tucson one day to visit Auntie Susan and Uncle Don!  Other than that, our days were filled with lunches out, swimming, splashing, cooking and playing!

And we made these Almond Blueberry Scones....OMG so delish!
