I can't believe I have let an entire year slip by. I noticed today that it has been exactly one year since I last updated this blog. I haven't been the best informer. So, for any of you who have actually checked this blog on a regular basis and might faint of shock, please sit down.
As far as Dad's health goes, well, he has had his ups and downs. I think, that he has had a lot of good reports this past year. It has been 19 months since he was first diagnosed. He has been on chemotherapy for about 17 of those months. He had a break last August and part of September and then got a PT scan right after. It revealed that his cancer was still shrinking which, of course, was wonderful news. Not too long after, Dad started having pain in his back. They found that he had cancer in his back bones and it has been very painful to him. He is currently undergoing radiation to treat his bones and is also working with a doctor to help him manage his pain. He and Mom are, as always, faithful and patient and optimistic. For those of you who still occasionally check this blog we thank you for your prayers.
I thought I'd post a few pictures of our family from our annual Eriksson family Easter Egg Hunt. Our family has grown by three since I last posted. Mike and Tina had a baby boy August 1, Ryan and Heidi were able to adopt a baby girl in August as well and I had a baby in December. So now, Mom and Dad have 17 grandkids under the age of 11! It is quite a group when we get together. The kids all have so much fun with their cousins.
