i never promised to keep up with my blog, remember? so here's an update in a nutshell: kids got LOADS of gifts for xmas, new years was uneventful, kids had valentine's day parties at school, major event that was scheduled for march was delayed AGAIN (insert major swearing), darling son is officially cancer free!!!, darling daughter had a really fun b-day party with the most amazing cake, and we are all still alive.
