The Reign of the Aunts

We had either Grandma Nancy and Grandma Munk staying at our house full time from the end of April to the end of August. It was amazing of them to spend that much time helping us, and we couldn't have done it without them.

Alas, they are both teachers, and their fall students called.

Fortunately for us, we have some generous aunts who are now here to rescue us. Aunt Liz (of The Sommerkorn Blog) was here for two fun-filled weeks. And now my Aunt Kristin has come down from Maryland for a week and a day. So far, we're having a wonderful time. We even eked out a couple of games of Boggle at chemo yesterday. At this moment, she is exhausting the boys at the Children's Museum.

But wait, there's more. Aunt Candice (of the Peter and Candice blog) will be coming for ten whole days with baby Laura after Aunt Kristin heads home. That will take us to the end of our three weeks after chemo.

Then life will be totally back to normal. Right?

Let me know how normal goes! Yeah for your last treatment being done. It sounds like you are well covered for help, but call for anything, anytime. :)

Yay for chemo being done and double yay for BOOGLE! (You need to play it on the Wii......my fun splurge....it tells you all the 8 and 9 letters words you missed.)

I will send the freezer meal recipes soon...as long as you promise to pass them on to someone who will make them for you.

If you need freezer meal recipes, I have some too, Cyndie. But DON'T go making them yourself...have someone do it for you. And really, most of your favorite recipes can be frozen, with slight modifications. If I lived closer, I would happily come fill your freezer (then maybe I would get motivated to fill mine again too!) Don't think meals would be edible if I shipped them! Love ya!
