The last few months have been such a whirl-wind.  Discovering I have basal cell carcinoma, facing the death of my father-in-law as well as a beloved uncle, and trying to figure out why I'm feeling so tired (most likely due to low iron)...but the sun is shining.  I have a beautiful family and am surrounded by lovely people.  Little E made his first communion in May.  It was extra special because I was his C.C.D. teacher.  Can't wait to teach again this fall. (P.S.  totally got over my fear of teaching. yay!!!)
