I know, I know...

It has been a while.

So here are all the updates I am sure you are dying to read.

Sam has had two recent events. One on top and one on bottom.
He took Riley to the last 3 games of the World Series. For those of you who don't know, um--Sam is slightly a Red Sox fanatic. I stress the Fanatic part. Sam played baseball until he had steel pins in BOTH elbows. Soooo needless to say He was on cloud 109!

When he got back he had sinus surgery. Can you say ouch, yuck and that's a lotta blood my man. The first couple of nights were rough, but he is doing much, much better. He can breathe, and his headaches aren't so bad. That is ALWAYS a plus.

October is pretty much a blur. Sam's Mom got really sick and was in and out of the hospital. To make a long story short, it wasn't the cancer...she had an ulcer in her small intestine and it took FOR-EV-ER for the Dr.'s to find it. Meanwhile, she took the worst chemo RX of her life. Ugh. I hate cancer. But I hate Chemo worse. So between the shadows of life, we went to the hospital, cooked, cleaned and helped care for Mom ( and Dad ).

Halloween snuck up oh so quietly. And here we are marching toward Thanksgiving.
On the 20th Ellie celebrates her 6th birthday. She is stoked!!! She is really excited and talks about it constantly. I don't blame her, everyone has had one this year...'cept her.

So here it goes again. Between the barbie cake, the pumpkins, the plain craziness of it all...Life stealthily moves on. Quietly, Forward.

Here's to Life and all those wrapped up in it.
Oh and a big fat bow on top!
