I guess I'm not inclined to write much because there's nothing new to report. That's a good thing, right?
On Halloween we had our nieces and nephews over. Everyone brought some food for a potluck dinner and then the kids went trick-or-treating on our street.
Here they are in their costumes (L-R Lexi, Ali, Matt, Nick).
For Thanksgiving we went to my mothers. Here we all are for our annual picture posing around the table before dinner.

Today, Black Friday, I am not being as productive as I'd like. Dan is doing schoolwork (never ending) and Ed and I are just putzing around. Shouldn't we be putting Christmas lights up or something? Seems too early for me. I'm not feeling motivated to bake, but since I've got a pound of butter softening on the counter, I suppose I should go whip up some cookies.
Tomorrow night I am attending my 30th class reunion. That should be fun! Some of us have been reconnecting on Facebook, so it will be good to see folks in person. I can't believe it's been 30 years though--none of us are that old!!
Ed continues to do well. Still has his biweekly chemotherapy treatments. No changes there. He seems to have slowed down quite a bit and has many aches and pains, but I can't tell if that's attributed to the cancer or him just getting old!!
So I guess I should go try to be productive and knock a few things off my list. I guess this means I can checkoff "update the blog", right?!
Since it's Thanksgiving, and as we approach our 1 year anniversary of Ed's cancer diagnosis, it is important to pause and thank God that we are still fighting this disease. I would have never thought a year ago about where we would be and whether Ed would be with us or not. But I do realize, you never know when life on this earth will end of any of us. So cherish each day and make the most of it!
God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving!
