Ok, so ummm, well I. . ., what I mean to say is, you seeee. . ., FINE! I have no excuse. I have been busy, and I keep meaning to blog, but there are all these distractions. You must know how bad I am at keeping up on the computer. I check my email once in a while too, but really... I am an ignorer (is that a word?) of the computer. Bill is the one who keeps me updated on all of your blogs-- and only sometimes. He is much better at all of this. I guess that when I get a spare moment I either sleep, play with Ryan some more, or clean. Yes, there are more options than that, but I don't want to bore you with all of my day-to-day chores. Anyways, what's new? Well, I am officially done with treatment and feeling better every day. I am still not 100% on energy, but I do also have a baby that wears me out. But, a couple of weeks ago I went up a flight of stairs without being winded! I know! What an accomplishment! Really, it was. God has brought me a long way! A big concern to everyone is my hair. Yes, it's growing back, but is too short for my tastes! I like my super cute wig much better. Maybe I'm just attached after wearing it for 8 months straight! For now I'm in the watch and wait part of the journey. So far clear of cancer, but it feels too soon to claim remission yet. I'll get a MRI soon and see how things are. Back to fun things- Ryan goes through spurts of sleeping well through the night and then realizing that he can get up every four hours and get more mommy time. I think he just misses me on those nights. Oh well, he's still a good natured, happy, lovey "little" guy. At his 6 month check-up he weighed 18 pounds and 7 oz. That would be in the 75th percentile for his age. Hee hee- who knew he came out so scrawny. He gives kisses and rolls over and loves every food we've given him. (shocker!) I love this age. Can I freeze him right here? Adorable but still immobile? I guess I'll have to start baby-proofing my house soon. I am working 3 days a week and doing ok with it. Bill and other friends have been helping with the day care. Bill is still wonderful, by the way- as if we had doubts! I have been abundantly blessed with such an amazing husband. He enjoys Ryan time as much as I do- so it's fun to share in the parental duties. Well, I'll try to write more later.........hopefully not too much later. :)

THANK you for the pictures!!!! I can't WAIT to squish those cheeks and get a grabby kiss. I love that age when they slobber kiss and hang on. Thanks for talking the other day and I'm counting down the days till Christmas. Love you!
I have to ask. Was Bill really THAT cute as a baby?? He's starting to really look like his daddy. What a cutie! I just love following along on BurkeSmiles.
Love ya'll.
