blogging, not photogging
since this is a blog (aka web log) and not a flickr foto album, i figured it's time to get down a thought or two on top of all these photos.
just hit the 6 year mark, cancer free. simply cannot believe it's true. had a lovely dinner with aunt cece and uncle bill after the dr.s appt - this family helped in the healing during very rough days those years ago, in ways that words will never capture, and it was both wonderful to see them (thanks for dinner!) and unnerving to do the old routine (dr visit / their house) with the new cast of characters (or new star of the show, more like). life has not only gone on, it has gotten better and bigger. i am / we are humbled in the face of how awesome this adventure keeps being.
we are on the hunt for childcare, as andrea returns to work in a few weeks. during the first few weeks of her return, grandma donna (aka grandmadonna) will move in and take care of grace. and then she makes the switch to hanging out with strangers all day while we work! knowing this is coming has made it harder to say goodbye in the mornings on my way to work... and i know it's getting scary / preemptively sad for andrea, too. the end of an era approaches with teh dawning of a new one. we're excited and nervous. and keeping our fingers crossed, as we haven't yet 100% landed the solution to the after-donna-leaves scenario. we're goin forth on faith: it got us this far and will keep us going.
