Life is Good

I've received several threatening messages from my Dad about my lapse in updating the blog lately, so out of obligation (and a little fear), here I am. I've been busy. Not a little busy, but alot busy. Rob's schedule has been nuts, the kids have all had different events going on, and my photography business has been amazingly jam-packed this fall. This is my view on most afternoons when I can steal a moment of silence:

Two computers, one cup of coffee, pen tablet, and hundreds of images to edit. Add to all this Halloween,

and another small reconstruction surgery, and my October calendar looked like a pen exploded on it. But aside from being busy, we've also been very good. The kids have all settled into a routine with school, and we even managed to sneak in a quick weekend trip with friends to Lake Michigan where we were treated to beautiful weather and lots of spontaneous fun.

Life seems to be moving rapidly forward again, at such a pace that the one year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis came and went and we barely acknowledged it (which is a good thing, I think. I mean, it's not exactly the kind of anniversary you celebrate, although I wouldn't have been opposed to having a cake. But that's just because I am fundamentally never opposed to having cake.). Life is busy. Life is hectic and a little messy (if you come to my house PLEASE don't examine my kitchen floors too closely). But mainly, most importantly, life is good.
