We hope everyone had a lovely and relaxing holiday. With four dogs, two children, and seven adults in my parents' house yesterday, we can't say that "relaxing" really applied to us, but it was a wonderful visit all the same.

Maria would like to thank everyone for the many gorgeous bouquets of flowers that she's received. The house smells like a florist shop! And the colors are so cheerful and bright.

Maria's first chemo treatment this past Monday continued through Wednesday; she had to carry a chemo pump around at home to keep the treatment going. It was, as you may expect, not her favorite thing, but we're all relieved that the treatment is underway. She'll get a two-week break before the next round.

We're deeply grateful for everyone's kindness and support. Please continue to send prayers and let Maria know you're thinking of her.
