Wow long time since I have felt like posting on here.  What can I say.  Life is going on.  Moms service was beautiful and full of laughter and memories.  I'm still working on getting the video formatted so I can share on here.  So much has happened I don't even know where to begin.  I've been busy so no Christmas Cards this year!  Sorry!

I'm now divorced.  The boys and I are adjusting fabulously to our new life.  I've started working, so juggling kids, house, daycare, school and fun has become my new weird norm.  Of course I'm rocking it Katie style as always. 

Scip and his family are moving along as well. Jenn hosted Thanksgiving this year.  It was wonderful with her fabulous deserts!  It was definitely an emotional day but we got through it smiling and being together.  Mom would have been proud.

Dad... he's doing well.  He decided to get a hip replacement to keep us all on our toes.  Why take a break for mental health reasons???  Of course in typical Mike fashion he was driving less than a week later and heading into work.  His PT guy caught him blowing the driveway and dragging the trashcans up the hill too.  Crazy old man. 

I'm hosting Christmas at my house next week.  Its all decked out w/ old and new décor.  My main focus will be making sure the boys have a magical and memorable Christmas.  It will be weird for them on so many levels.  Our usual Christmas Eve was always spent at mom and dads w/ a full day there on Christmas.  Mom left us with many memories and traditions that we will stick to the best we can.  Not really able to put into words the void that is in our lives right now.  And on that note I'm done!  :)  As always I don't know what our family would have done w/out all the support from all of you.  Thank you and have a very Merry Christmas!  Love each other like its your last Christmas! 

NOW in case anyone forgot I'm doing Relay again this year.  Feel free to sign up or donate!  Its a must that we get this shit cured!!! Like everything else this year, Relay will have a different feel to it since it will be remembering mom but also celebrating her life!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CH8o5JJiq4 this is what Relay is!

Thanks y'all Peace and Love!!!!
Katie

I love you. This was great. I hadn't been to this site in a while, and just decided to see if it was still up, and enjoy the photos. Sounds like all of you did the very best you could for the holidays. I'm not surprised. Love you so much. Keep on keeping on....

    I'm Katie, Susan's daughter, taking on a role that I'm much to young for.  Thankfully my mom has shown me how to fight for a parents life and that is what I intend to do for her.
