Crazy Eights!

My mom and I are sitting here laughing about how long it takes us sometimes to think of a blog title! :) My dad, mom, and sister just finished playing a very long round of Crazy Eights, and my dad is the reigning champ!
The week thus far has been filled with a myriad of ups and downs... throwing up and laughter, school days and home daze, working together and finding our own place, sleeping and smiling, making and canceling plans, air conditioning and skully caps, a few tears here and there, and some good old fashioned family hugs. 
Ariel got a wonderful hour long full body massage today as well, and we are all thrilled that she seems to be settling more comfortably into her role as a stay at home, professional "rester"... I know it is hard for her but she is doing a wonderful job and finally letting us help her along the way as she heals. 
With so much love in our house it is hard to believe that there could be a bad day for anyone, but this dang cancer just doesn't seem to take a rest. It is just not fair!!!
We just wanted to say hello on this Tuesday evening to all of our beloved friends out there. The last few days have seemed so busy that we thought it certainly had to be Thursday or Friday. Oh well...off we go to conquer Hump day, and enjoy the Wednesday before her second chemo treatment. 

xoxo
Good night

Ali and Ariel
