That's Life ...

... and it's tough times.  After our exciting move to Florida back in December, we had a lovely Christmas with family and then for my birthday in January darling Jenny and Sophie came to visit!  We were off to a great start.

Then along came the bad news ... in February my husband was diagnosed with small cell cancer in his lungs and by March it had spread to his liver and bones.  We're putting up a good fight and going through chemo with another round this week and more scans next week.  Our mantra nowadays is from our favorite movie "Finding Nemo" and it's "just keep swimming" so we're trying to keep our heads above water.

One of the biggest challenges is getting enough nutrition into Howard as he is not in the mood to eat.  I make a mean milkshake full of calories, but he can only drink one or two a day :)  But at least he's trying ...

Keep us in your thoughts and swim along with us!
