When life hands you lemons... you make lemonade... (even if it is "hard" lemonade! :) )

We are finally starting to get some answers on what is wrong with my little bro... it is a relief to FINALLY know at least partially what we are up against as we help him battle to get well.

Things are still the same in the other neck of the woods... like a ticking time bomb... we sit back and patiently (or not so patiently) wait for what we know will inevitably come... but with time comes strength. (or at least that is what I am told)

Last month over the 24th we had our Irvine family reunion. It was so much fun to go camping with the whole family.

Our family had a pretty good representation... only two of my sibilings didn't come. I think we are all constantly aware of the fact that you have to seize the day! My Dad seemed it great spirits and while he spent most of his time taking care of my mom and brother (and sneaking Scooby people food when I wasn't looking), he enjoyed himself!

It was our first outing in our new trailer... and we enjoyed it. Deven did a great job towing and we enjoyed camping without the discomfort of rocks under your back or getting so cold you can't sleep. I look forward to many more outings... if we can ever find the time to do it!

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."
