I'm Back...

Wow, I can't believe it's been 3 months since my last post. I guess that's good, no news is good news. As you can see from the pictures we went to Aruba after Easter and we had a great trip. We went with 4 families total. There were 21 people in our group. The kids had such a fun time with their cousins. We went jet skiing, snorkeling, we went on a banana boat, which is a banana shaped float that holds 10 people and is pulled behind a speed boat. We went on an 80 foot sailboat. It was all so much fun. We had a much needed break. Swimming everyday, beach, tropical drinks... I'm ready to go back!!

We came back to a real dose of reality. We came back just before a Nor' Easter brought about 8 inches of rain. Flooding everywhere, streets washed out, basements flooding, Thank goodness ours was dry.

Had a CT Scan a few days later. Those are always fun. It was a follow-up scan. The nurse has to set-up an IV to administer the contrast, and after 2 pokes of a needle and digging around in the vein, she had to get the doctor to stick me again. They can only use one of my arms since I had lymphnodes taken out of my other arm. My right arm has been stuck so many times! Anyway, my scan came out stable. No change, it's a good thing.

Spring is finally here and I am so ready for it! I can't wait to start planting. Hope you are all well. Enjoy everyday!

I love Alex to death, but I'm so glad not to have new pictures now -they are great! You all look so relaxed, and sounds like you had a great time. Glad to hear no change - that's a GREAT thing!

Talk to you soon.
