Wow.  It’s been awhile since I posted.  I’m refusing to feel guilty…but I still do a little.  I have good reason though as we went on a long trip to Colorado to see family for Thanksgiving and to be with my cousin Chet who’s was diagnosed with cancer in his esophagus.  I had a little trepidation going to see him as he had just been in the hospital and there were some scary moments.  I was worried for him to say the least.  I’m glad I can say “was” because while we were in Colorado he got better before our very eyes.  He went from not being able to swallow anything to eating pizza with us the last night we were there!  We won’t know until January the effect of the treatments but hope has moved in in place of fear for me and that is a huge relief.  Here are some photos I took during our time with them –

I love shots of boys being boys –

I could do a whole nother post on the beauty of Colorado and how it feeds my soul, connecting me with my inner child who spent most summers in Colorado.  Here’s a taste –

Here’s a shot of me and Chet.  He is making me laugh as per usual –

He looks well, does he not?  Thank you Lord.  And thank you Lori who is managing to keep all the plates spinning with grace and seeming ease.  I’m in awe of you!
