High time for an update! After my trip to Singapore I went on an Indian Guides camping trip with Ben and Sam to Starved Rock State Park, which is around 2hrs SW of Chicago. It is known for its hikes into canyons off of the Illinois river - you can see Ben and Sam walking in to one. Got a pic of Sarah and Elizabeth, who was up for a visit as well. The 3rd pic shows Ben and his 1st grade teacher on his last day of school. Can't believe he's already going in to 2nd grade next year! Time sure flies... Sarah's brother Thomas is also here for a visit this weekend. Sarah's birthday was this past Wednesday and she got lots of birthday well-wishes from everyone + we went out for a nice dinner to celebrate that as well as her 2-year "cancerversary" - approx. 2 yrs since her diagnosis on 11 May 06.Sarah finally started Xeloda again last Sunday and she's feeling "ok" so far. Some nausea and fatigue, but nothing that is stopping her in her tracks. We think it may have a cumulative effect so we'll see what next week looks like. We've got two more months until we can do another PET scan to see how effective the SIR-sphere treatment was. Hard to wait... in the mean time Sarah got a tumor marker check and we're waiting to hear the results. They should be down from the last time. We're kind of in wait-and-see mode and keeping very busy as the school year ends.

Great time seeing you guys. It's been super busy. Just got back from a conference/fun trip to NY though it was super hot there, and super hot here. At coffee shop with PJ and Chet, they send love - sharon
