September

Hannah's last appointment went pretty smoothly. Her blood counts were way down this time. We're not sure why. They have been good for the past several months, so it is odd that they dropped to about half of what they had been.

Getting a flu shot isn't fun for any of us, but adding it to the end of an appointment full of pokes did not make Hannah happy at all! She let the whole wing of the hospital know that she wasn't happy about it and it took three of us to hold her down. You would think that a little flu shot would be no big deal compared to what she's used to getting.

After Hannah's appointment we were able to visit with some sweet friends who were also there for treatment. In this picture, Hannah is curled up in my lap, still recovering from being so upset. After she felt better, she loved getting to spend time with Hannah Cate.

We took a walk in the garden and it was decorated for fall. 

When Hannah was really mad during her appointment, she yelled at Eric and me, "I quit!! I'm never coming back here again! I'm going to tear all the numbers off our wall at home and throw them away! I quit!" Once we got home, though, she was excited to turn the number 12 over and count down for just 11 more.

Lauren lost her two front teeth and is pretty proud of it. She just wishes the two new teeth wouldn't grow in until Christmas so she could sing the "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth" song.
