The Hardy Siblings

I have the greatest siblings in the world - and I am sure everyone that knows them thinks that too. Lots of people have been asking me what they are all up to - they are all still world travelers and continue to have the best adventures. Erin was great to get us all together for a sibling picture when by no small miracle we all happened to be in the same town this summer.

Now for the update.
Erin: Erin moved home from the Virgin Islands last year to be here to support Judd through his chemo treatments. She is working at the same spa she left up in Park City and is running the "sib crib" household. James, Judd, Erin and sometimes Skip or Zach are all living together. I am looking forward to our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners this year - last year they cooked the most incredible feast and entertained my kids while we ate!

Judd: Judd is doing great and to prove to us that life doesn't have to stop for anything - including cancer - he is moving to Hawaii later this month to live on the big island and enjoy the sunshine and great life of the tropics. Judd was diagnosed with leukemia in July of 2006. He is now in his second year of chemo treatments and things are going really well. He keeps up his blog site and is an incredible writer so be sure to check it out.

James: James moved back from California/Washington after Judd's diagnosis to be with the siblings. He is working at a local restaurant and at a home for at-risk boys. James is heading back to school at the U in the next year or so and is still working on a major. He also has some great plans to travel in the coming year, but is deciding which adventures look the best!

Skip: Skip has taken time off from his college career at the U to do more traveling. He is looking at a trip this summer to South America. He hopes to be able to spend some time with Zach in Brazil. Right now he plans on heading with Judd to Hawaii for a short time to help Judd settle in and visit my mom who is currently in Maui for a few months. Tough life!

And Zach: Yep, you read right - Zach is living in Brazil this year. After Skip's great experience in Spain his junior year, Zach decided he wanted to try the same thing. He is a foreign exchange student with an awesome family and is busy learning Portuguese and checking out the local hot spots. He is living near the coast and is loving the weather and the great the people.
