Happy Birthday Cocoa & Cooper

Cooper will be 1 on Thursday and Cocoa will be 6 at the end of April. I need to get there b-day presents and mail them. But what do you get for these two, who are giant chew monsters.

Easter Pictures

We had a quiet day and Michelle can't get enough Peeps or jelly beans.

Florida Pictures

Here are some of our MANY MANY MANY pictures from Florida. The wedding was really nice at the Zoo, which was followed by a reception, also at the Zoo. Once everything had died down and the newly weds went a honeymooning, Michelle, Brian, Mom, Dad & I took a trip to go see Mickey Mouse.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday Brian & Jake!!!!!!!!

Today is Brian and Jake's birthdays. Jake is a year old now. I will be nice and not tell how old Brian is. I hope they both have a wonderful day.

Florida

We made it safe and sound to Florida. With 2 days left until the BIG DAY, the rest of the family has started to arrive. If I remember right they should all be here today. One of Anne's friends is flying in tomorrow evening.

Michelle has been VERY busy checking out Gwama and Pa Pa's house. She has been "playing" with the kitties and "helping" gwama do things.

The weather has be kinda cruddy with rain the last 2 says but I think its gone for a while so we might get to see some sun shine.

Floorda

Michelle is all ready to see Grandma and Pa Pa in Floorda. Yes she can say Florida. I've got most every thing taken care of so we can leave on Sunday afternoon to head for Lufkin.

Things are moving along nicely with Speech Therapy. As of Thursday Michelle will be seeing Carol from now on. Carol is Linsdey's repalcement. we have been seeing Kirsten. On top of playing musical therapist, the place we go to has been remodeling the speech department. Since Speech and PT are located next to each other they have had to share what little seating there is. This can get really fun on a busy day.

I normally don't have to sit near anyone and can knit in peace. Last week I got the pleasure of sitting next to the people who had colds and upper respiratory infections. I am now hoping my icky feeling that I have had since yesterday is just due to the weather and not from people who have the ickies. If I'm not feeling better come Wednesday I'm calling the Doctor to see if I can get in before we leave to make sure I don't have anything.

My knitting is coming along really well and I THINK I can get Michelle's sweater done before we leave.

The alpaca cloud is in the Stream Heather from Knit Picks and OH is it soft. I now need to find a lace project. :) might just do the candle Flame Shaw.

Brian and Michelle got me the expansion pack for The Movies PC Game along with the Priam Guide. And yes the is a Cobalt Blue 5 Qt Artisan Kitchen Aid Mixer. amazon had it on sale for $199.99 and Kitchen Aid has a $30 mail in rebate. How could I not pass that deal up. To top it off I got FREE shipping.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!!
I hope everyone has a great year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM

Happy Birthday mom. I hope you have a nice quiet day and like your present and card.

Michelle's Speech Project

Today in Speech Michelle made a docoration for they BIG sleigh they have hanging out on the wall. She made a pink dolly and used markers and glitter. To our surprise Michelle did not try to eat the glitter. She did how ever discover that glue and glitter mixed together is ICKY!

Christmas Village and Tree

Here are the Christmas Tree and the Christmas Village

Play Dough

Brian and Michelle made play dough tonight before dinner that way it would cool off enough to play with after we got done eating. We colored it red and Michelle played with her Tupperware rolling pin and mat along with some cookie cutters. Yes Michelle even had to taste the play dough, which is salty .

Speech Therapy

Michelle started Speech therapy today. She did okay but was not very talkative with Lindsey. Lindsey is going to do one on one with Michelle. We are hoping the Michelle will do okay with this if not we will work up to it. Lindsey feels that the one on one is more beneficial and it is more of a student teacher environment. We go to Speech on Thursdays at 10:30.

On a different note, we have found a play group for Michelle. I called on base and they have one on Wednesdays from 10-noon. We are hoping that this will help her speech come along and she will also make some friends.

Thanksgiving Snow

We got snow yesterday. However it is mostly gone now. I took these about 8:30am this morning. At least the street was clear. Most of our snow is gone now but the weatherman is calling for heavy snow, which is 4 inches. So we will wait and see what comes of their predictions.

Our little angle will be going to Speech Therapy on Thursdays at 10:30am. We will be working on combining words to make small sentences so we can tell people what we want instead of EH EH EH.

Happy Halloween

HAPPY HALLOWEEN here is a little humor for the day.

A cabbie picks up a Nun.
She gets into the cab, and notices that the VERY handsome cab driver won't stop staring at her.
She asks him why he is staring.
He replies: 'I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you.'
She answers, 'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.'
'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.'
She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do about that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.'
The cab driver is very excited and says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!'
'OK' the nun says.
'Pull into the next alley.'
The nun fulfils his fantasy, with a kiss that would make a hooker blush.
But when they get back on the road, the cab driver starts crying.
'My dear child,' says the nun, 'why are you crying?'
'Forgive me but I've sinned. I lied and I must confess, I'm married and I'm Jewish.'
The nun says, 'That's OK. My name is Kevin and I'm going to a Halloween party.'

Happy Anniversery

As of today my parents have been married 22 years. It sure doesn't seem like they have been together that long. I hope they have a great day and enjoy their trip to Plain City this weekend.

OOOOOOPS

It seems that I have forgotten about my blog. How on earth that has happened is beyond me. We have been busy with all sorts of things. Michelle and I normally make a trip to the library once a week to get new books to read. Brian is busy with work and all of that wonderful fun stuff.
We are starting to get ready for the Holidays. I have started an Amazon.com list for Michelle. I have also been scouting out Halloween costumes for Michelle. I was going to knit her one but just couldn't decide on what to do. We have been looking at costumes trying to find something she would look absolutely adorable in.

PT

Well PT is moving along nicely. Since we are leaving for the long weekend next week I only have to go once. I SHOULD (cross your fingers) be done with PT on September 1oth. I see Dr. Kalafut again for a reevaluation of everything. I did how ever find out that my Sciatic nerve goes through my right piriformis muscle in stead of staying under it like EVERYONE else's. This is only seen in like 7% of the population so its rare. To keep my hip from hurting cause the nerve is being pinched I need to keep it stretched out and flexible.
