Thanksgiving - The day after! The Turkey and all the fix'ns were delicious. It sure is nice when the family can get together but somewhat sad when all can't be there. We missed you Julie, Brandon, Gavin & Vivian. Good conversation and fun with the "G" kids.

Pictures

As much fun as it is making a slide show with music, I haven't figured out how to get the photos to look anything but blurry. Here's a link to the Picasa Web Album for a better look.

Recap

Mom & Pop hit the road home this morning.  A week sure does go by fast these days.  We got out for a little sightseeing and bird viewing, and the old folks peeled the top layer off all the wallpaper in our entryway (thank you!).  Check the Chard Yard for pictures from the birthday party.

I WILL LIVE TO BE MUCH OLDER

CANCER FREE!
YES SIREEEEE!
"Maybe"

Got the test results back Wednesday morning. The shadow in the right lung has disappeared, There is absolutely no cancer in the lymph nodes and what was reported to be cancer in the left lung may not be that at all. It could be a scar or residual from a lung infection. Another CT scan in three months should tell one way or another.

YIPEEEEE!

My Golden Birthday!

Hello there,

Today is my 3rd birthday, which just so happens to be my golden birthday. What a BIG girl I am!

I wear big girl underwear and have been for the past 5 months now. I'm tall enough that I don't need blocks to reach the pedals on my tricycle. I started preschool last week and think it's the greatest! My teacher, Mrs Boyce, is very impressed with my skills because I have already learned my letters, numbers and colors. I go 2 days a week, 8am -1pm and even eat hot lunch in the cafeteria with the big kids. The crown I'm wearing I got to wear at school all day on Thursday. In honor of my birthday, I was the helper for the day. I also brought cupcakes for all my friends. Yummy!

I'm enjoying all my toys, books, bikes and swing set. I really, really like talking on the phone and watching Bubble Guppies...

Birthday Palooza

Here are a few moments from our spectacular celebration. What a fun time!

Happy Birthday to ME!!!

It's official...today marks the 365th day I've been outside the womb. What a year it's been!

I'm walking all over the place but not without assistance and I'm the fastest crawler there ever was.

My vocabulary consists of lots of screaming and funny noises, and I really do say "daddy" and "ball".

I now have 6 teeth! I'm mostly eating big people food and am enjoying feeding myself cheerios. I've completely mastered the "sucking" concept of my sippy cup, but find it necessary to let the liquid run out of my mouth. What!?! Who says I have to swallow it all...all of the time...

My favorite activities include climbing on the fireplace hearth and standing to look at my reflection in the doors while banging on them and playing with the computer keyboard and mouse. (hee hee) When I'm not so naughty, I spend my time playing with my toys. I especially like things with wheels. I've also taken a fond interest in my kitty cat Chloe, but admit the feeling is not yet mutual.
