I realize my blog is officially lame and I apologize for that. Hopefully once this whole cancer business is over I will be blogging more often than just seasonally. Who knows, maybe I won't have any readers left by then.
Quick update on me: I am still doing surprisingly well with the chemotherapy. I have 2 more rounds (1 more month) of treatment and then I go in for a scan. There is a possibility I will be given the all clear at that point. If the cancer is not completely gone I will have 2 more months of chemo and then possibily radiation after the baby is born.
We've had a lot of fun this winter!!! We got some snow in the moutains and last weekend took a day trip so the Ethiopian boys could experience snow for the first time. Elias basically hated it and was really only content when someone was holding him and not making him touch the snow.

Christmas with Elias was wonderful! Here are some highlights
In mid-January we had a mini reunion for some of the kids from Hannah's Hope. We were able to use my Aunt and Uncle's beach house here in San Diego. We had such a great time getting to meet some of our blog friends in person. The kids had an absolute blast and I hope as they get older we will continue to be able to get together as the kids share a very special and unique bond.

During this photo we got asked if they were quads...probably thanks to the super cure shirts Bethany made everyone!
Despite all the craziness of our lives due to my health issues this fall and winter have been really wonderful. We really look forward to Spring when Elias' baby sister will be joining us!
