why

Last week was good, really good.  I got in loads of family time and took care of almost everything on my To Do's list.  The preschool social was a success and Jake had a great time.  I am reluctant to post a picture since all of them include Jake's classmates and I do not want to upset any parents.
My mini procedure was a success and I am heathy as a horse which is fantastic because I have been concerned as of late.  When I awoke Friday night after a full day's sleep (heaven),  I received some sad news that is still on my mind today.

My husband Eric has a best friend also named Eric. Eric has three kids whose youngest is an adorable little girl named Taylor.  On Friday evening, Taylor was diagnosed with Luekemia. By Saturday, she began her 1st day of Chemotherapy which she will repeat everyday for the next 6 months.  Taylor is 4 years old.  Everytime I think of Taylor and what she and her family will endure, I cry.
Marc is my husbands brother.  Marc's best friend from college has three boys, two who are twins and an adorable 3 year year old Ronan. Ronan was diagnosed with Brain Cancer this past week and had surgery this weekend.  Again when I think of what Ronan and his family will endure, I cry.
Please say a prayer for each of these families and their little babies, who are enduring more than any child should have to.  Thank you!

new beginnings

This is officially our last week of summer.  Why? My wee boy Jake (pictured below) starts preschool next week.  Tomorrow we have a preschool social that we are all looking forward to.  Jake will meet Miss Amy (his teacher) again as well as his classmates.  To say Jake is excited would be an understatement.  In addition to the preschool buzz filling our house this week we are also booked with doctors visits, dorm room design (a first for me), birthday parties, a grammar school reunion (compliments of facebook), and a going away to college party... 
Due to the above, I am on a mini break from The Dish.  
I will be back next week for our regularly scheduled programming.  :)
