Home Sweet Home

Here is a view of our new backyard, taken from the deck of our new pool! :-)

Things were finally worked out on Friday, and we moved that night. We are starting to settle in somewhat now, and you know what? Despite the pain of getting here, when the girls and I ate breakfast this morning on our deck, listening to the birds chirping and feeling a nice breeze blowing across our yard, it all seems worth it.

Abbie is doing well, she had her second dose of chemo yesterday without incident. She was well anti-nausea-drugged up, and we've had no problems yet this time. Right now we are feeling very upbeat and hopeful, and this whole mess seems absolutely manageable. Our biggest worry right now is how to work letting Abbie swim, since we don't want to have to change her dressing too often, but it needs to be changed whenever she gets wet. In the scheme of things, this is by no means a terrible problem to have. :)

Chris' sister is getting married this weekend, so our focus is shifting somewhat this week from our own insanity to hers. Another good problem! I'll update with more pictures of the house as I #1 - get the time and #2 - unpack enough to have some decent pictures. In the meantime, here's another picture of the yard, with three happy little girls about to jump into our new pool for the first time.
