The C Word

We have had several complaints recently about not having enough new updates or pictures of the girls. We do have built-in excuses as taking care of twins is no easy task. Erin has been doing a great job and is really enjoying being a mom. I can follow basic instructions and haven't dropped them yet. So all in all, we feel very successful.

However, we have a new issue which will make our lives even more busy. I have been diagnosed with Stage 2 Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, and will begin chemotherapy treatment on March 25. This has come as a shock, but all of the doctors say that my prognosis is good. We are all optimistic and think that this will just be a minor chapter in the Book of Joey.

We are incredibly lucky to have such supportive friends and family. All offers of dinner, baby-sitting, or just hanging out will be gratefully accepted.
