Halloween parade in our town
A chaotic affair, with a Mummer’s string band and everything!

Halloween (and, an update, at last!)
I can’t imagine what we’ve been doing since February, which was the date of my last post on this site. After job hunting, packing, moving and getting settled in PA, I can finally post a little something on this site. Here is a little video of the kiddos at their Halloween school show and parade.…

Award girls
Award girls, originally uploaded by applesandcheeses. The girls’ school had their “Spotlight Awards” today. Everyone gets one sooner or later during the year, but this didn’t stop me from being super proud anyway. Djuna is on the left; Dinah is on the right.

The tall parts of the float were folded down because the float has to go under bridges on its way to the parade…

Holidays
I haven’t updated in awhile — I feel so bad about it! I’ll have to catch up with picture posting over Winter Break. We have been thoroughly enjoying the holidays so far. We had a very nice Thanksgiving with my cousin Alison and her boyfriend Gavin, and now we are rocketing toward Christmas with lots…

Now what?
Today I had the last of about 6 weeks’ worth of radiation treatments. After 8 rounds of chemo and then surgery, radiation was comparatively easy, but I’m still glad it’s over. Sort of. I have to admit that it’s hard to give up being so carefully watched, particularly by the staff at the radiation oncology…

Since I’ve been remiss …
… and have neglected posting Halloween photos in a timely fashion, here is a link where you can see a few. There is a cool photographer in our town, and he lets folks come in his studio on Halloween to pose in their costumes. Then, he posts them online where people can purchase copies if…
