The Tree Frogs

The boys are back in school and we are getting back into the routine again. There are not many things that I hate but homework is at the very top. The first week of school and Andrew has a book report due. I'm trying to find the positive I really am!!!!

This chemo was and continues to be the most challenging. I've had a much harder time bouncing back. A week later and I am still having nausea, weakness, diarrhea, headaches.....and just an overall yucky feeling. I was told that as the chemo goes on your body sometimes has a harder time dealing with it and getting back to normal. I am determined to feel better by this weekend!!! I just have to remember that I only have two more to go. The next one will be number 5...can you believe that. When you put things in perspective you can deal with anything.

Mom and I (with a little help from the kids) picked apples in our orchard yesterday so this morning I made and preserved cinnamon apple sauce. Let me just say that I didn't need to burn any candles today...the smell in the house was devine. I am going to pick up a ham for supper tonight...apple sauce and baked ham, yum. Add a scalloped potato or a mac and cheese and what a way to start the weedend.

I love this photo. I took individual photos of them too and they turned out really well. I bought a long black frame a long time ago that has four openings in it just waiting for the right photos. I think these might be the ones. I just wish I had of coordinated the outfits better but this was a spur-of-the-moment-up-in-the- tree kind of photo shoot. It couldn't be more real!
