Please family and friends, create a blog about your family or yourself. You can keep it fairly private by requiring an access code, or it can be open like ours. We feel like everyone knows about us, but we don't know what everyone else is up to, so perhaps in lieu of the annual holiday letter, create and share a family blog. Love, ca

I started writing a blog on TeacherNet, but I don't think anyone can access it and there are only 3 entries.

Hi to you all. I hope you have a nice holiday weekend, a tumble in the leaves, or some good pumpkin pie. I'm making a pear tart and a pepper-pumpkin pie and we're going to our good friends' home, Dolan and Dave Power. Just two blocks over. I don't have to clean the house; this is the kind of dinner-out I like. My son Brady, 19, is home from college or sort of. We make sure plenty is in the frig and then he's out and about...getting together with BHS friends and enjoying himself from what I can tell. Sending you buckets of hugs,
Bev
LOL!!
I get the old "fish bowl" complex from time to time too.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks to you for sharing your experiences through this blog. I am learning that family blogs are a great resources, providing windows into lives (albeit the version the author's choose) - be they descriptions of life threatening illness, life with a new baby, or reinventing life in a foreign city.
The positive aspects of your situation shine through the account of Mady's illness. We can see that new coping skills have been evolving and assumptions challenged, while your connections deepen. I am grateful that you have chosen to share because we all learn from your experience. At the same time I am so very sorry that Mady and you all have so much to bear. Through the blog, I better understand some of the difficulties.
Our blogs: Phoebe is in California with a new baby Williamthomaskraus@blogspot.com. Halloween with the local babies is a highlight. Toby is in Edinburgh, having left Manhattan after working for ten years in computer photo refinishing. He chucked it all, left behind his group of friends, and has begun a new life studying photography in this amazing city for the next few years. The blog is well illustrated with his photos, and features a certain bizarre sensibility which is his very own. We are waiting to see/hear about the Thanksgiving dinner he created in his flat for new friends. meanwhilebackatthecastle@blogspot.com
You have my very best wishes for a holiday season not too taxing for Mady, and my hope that you will find joy and strength to cope with the challenges.
