Between work, family and homeschooling I’m staying pretty busy.  On top of the sadness that is normal for us during this time, we did find out that my sister-in-law’s tumor is cancer and it’s malignant.  She doesn’t know yet – I think they will be telling her after she recovers a bit more.  I don’t know – it’s not something I’m very comfortable with – I hope no one ever keeps something like that from me!

Eric and I have been getting quite a few questions about what we want/need for JGirl.  So, since we are keeping a list for ourselves we decided to put it on here for others.  We are NOT asking for gifts!!  If you have any suggestions, please be sure to share your thoughts – we are a bit out of practice!  Here is the link – or it’s at the top of the page.

I woke up early to make pancakes for Eric and the boys – wow – even 1/2 hour can mess you up! It took me forever to wake up!

I added blueberries to Eric’s pancakes and he really enjoyed them! 🙂 J3 was just as thrilled NOT to have blueberries in his pancakes! LOL

Then I turned on the computer for work and I received 25(!!!) pictures of JGirl!! 🙂 Pictures of her first spoon feeding – too messy for polite society. lol Pictures of her laying down, wearing new clothes, laying on her tummy! 😀 Too many to post right now – but here is one of my favorites. LOL

My brother-in-law (Eric’s brother, Mike) just called to say that his wife had a seizure this morning. She has a brain tumor. He is home now – I assumed she is too but now I’m wondering if that is right.

Tomorrow morning they have a meeting with a neurologist and Mike will call us afterwards.

They’ve only been married for a few months. She is a very nice person who I hope I can get to know better someday. Her name is Sue.
