THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY! That's really about all I have for today. The weekend is much needed. Especially as I head into the second chemo treatment on Monday.
Eating is starting to get difficult. So I'm going to ask all of you to send me your favorite soup recipes. Cold or hot soups are welcome.
In other exciting news Baby Chang is quickly learning how to pull herself up to a standing position. She is slowly figuring out how to crawl but usually finds it faster to get to her destination using the army crawl method. Lately she's also been stretching her lungs and vocal chords as yelling seems to be her new favorite form of communication.
Happy Weekend to all!
I think this is the recipe (or it's very similar) to an amazing soup my roommate makes. Good for the soul and good for a sore throat.

I'll have to consult my dad who is the King of amazing soup recipes, any specific ingredients you love more than others?
Happy Weekend!

I love the crawling and yelling stage. They are just so loud and always seems surprised that the noise they hear is coming out of them. We are thinking about you and sending positive thoughts your way.
