Last weekend Nancy came in to town for a visit and to watch James Thomas so James and I could go out. Nancy stumbled across this Christmas festival at Christ the King Church and we decided to take James Thomas up there to explore. We got to ride a camel, pet lots of animals, make arts and crafts, and lots of other fun Christmas activities. It took me 30 years to go for a camel ride but James Thomas can check that one off the list at 1 year old!!! He had a great time and his new favorite word was camel. The rest of the weekend all we heard was camel, camel, camel.
That night our neighborhood put together a fun Christmas evening. Down at the park they had santa, smores, popcorn, and "The Polar Express" was playing on a projector. JT did not want anything to with Santa so we didn't stay long. Maybe next year.........
sooo . . .would it be weird if Nate and I went to ride the camel and go to the petting zoo WITHOUT kids??? hahah orrrr we could just borrow someone's!!!!! That looks like so much fun! :-)
Thank you for funding research in the hopes that someday James Thomas will be cured! The price includes all taxes and shipping.
Donations to Diamond Blackfan Anemia
If you do not want to order a cookbook but would still like to donate to this wonderful organization, you can donate here! Every dollar is used to fund research to someday find a cure or better treatments for DBA!
James and I were married on December 4, 2004 in the hill country. We have lived in Houston ever since. I just finished up my teaching career at the best school ever, B.Bush Elementary. James graduated from U of H law school and started his new job in November. Our family has recently grown as we welcomed James Thomas into this world. He is an absolute joy and the best thing we have ever done. I am so in love and thank God for our gift every day. In October he was diagnosed with Diamond Blackfan Anemia. DBA is a rare blood disorder where the bone marrow fails to produce red blood cells. He is currently transfusion dependent and we will try a steroid trial sometime in the Fall. We have so many wonderful friends and family who care so much and are blessed to be able to share this blog with all of them.
