3 weeks till christmas!

Our Thanksgiving was a wonderful, relaxing day, plenty of food, family and fun. Diane's Dad cooked the turkey and other items, Dianes sister and kids brought and cooked some, and friends Robert and Jessamyn helped out as well. The stress was off Diane to do it all, so we enjoyed the day with a boat ride out on the lake, a great meal and some wonderful family time. Diane is enjoying tasting food again, she saw her radiologist last Tuesday and he commented on just how good she looks. (Everyone else says that too, not just me!) He said she could drink wine again, no reason not to, but I think right now the taste still makes her mouth burn, so she is going to wait a while. Dr Carmel also mention there is a 10% chance the cancer might come back, but to me that means it's a 90% cure rate! Her oncologist will be looking closely at her for the next year, and her radiologist, Dr Carmel said at the end of her visit "I hope I never see you again"!
So...life is back to normal, driving the kids around, laundry, cooking meals, laundry, bills, laundry and house chores and, oh yea, laundry.
Should I continue updating this blog with normal family stuff? Or start a new one instead of Dianes Helpers? What do you think? Let us know and we hope all of you are safe, healthy, and employed during this time of year. Enjoy your family!

Hi you guys! What awsome news about Diane. I agree that your blog was about recovery so now it is time for a new start to track your family life as NORMAL! More laundry? Bring it one. Merry Christmas and have a blessed time as family where ever you may spend it. XXXXX
