What is new with the Whole Family?

Not a whole lot that I know of...
My brother in TN is going to be moving to Chicago on the 30th. My aunt and father live there and I think he is just ready for a change.
My mom is having some trouble getting her disability to go through and has a lot of bad days with her fibro but seems to be happy right now overall.
Those are about the only people I've talked to recently.

Things are going ok here.

SMIL & FIL are ok.

SFIL & MIL. SFIL's tumor in his lung shrunk 2 cm's with chemo. The one in his stomach hasn't as of yet but he has only had one or two sessions. MIL is tired and her youngest two kids are finally in school so she is busy with them too.

SIL finally admits she has a boyfriend

The other three are younger and well they are always busy so I don't have much to say about them.

My brother and his wife are great. It is my brother's b-day and he turned 28.

MIL & SFIL are going with Kev to Vegas in October - Things are ok there - I try to stop by there more often with the girls since they claim they NEVER get to see them (We live 15 minutes apart )

I think my dad is good - I dont get to talk to him much
My mom has more medical tests to figure out the cause of her newest medical problem.

My younger brother is still with the same girlfriend and has went back to school after taking last semester off to deal with his diagnosis of MS. All has been well on that front so far.

My BIL has gotten engaged and so they are planning that wedding - I think June/July 06 but honestly Im not sure.

And Mel can update you on her & my other Bro - not about to speak for them - all I can tell ya there is they are still TTC #1

Mum and her partner Al have been looking for a house together (Al is going to buy one for them to live in as neither want to start their lives together with the ghost of past partners in their present homes, Mum is happy, Al is so good to her, and as a side affect of personal happiness my Mum has clicked out of 'B!tch mode"

Dad and Jean still seem to be cruising along happily, and altho my Dad had only 12% lung capacity left in March he still seems to be coping well, he no longer sounds like Darth Vadar on the phone which is so good to hear (or not hear in this case )

Vince (the elder of my two younger brothers) and his wife are expecting another child, after the horrendous pg and the loss of their unborn son at 6 months gestation last time, they are understandably nervous but very happy at the same time.

Apparantly my other brother has bought a home with his partner here in Oz (in another state tho, he's in Queensland about 2 days drive from here in Victoria) and his Kirby business is doing very very well (Yes, my brother is a vacumn cleaner salesman but he is very good at it)

Greg rang me a couple of days ago just to say hello and we talked for about an hour, he and his partner are still seeing each other and are still happy (I'm a little worried that her 3 year old son is starting to think my son is his father but if that is what makes all 3 of them happy who am I to argue), altho she can't wait until October 19th because then Greg turns 20 and she will no longer be dating a teenager
