My Dad updated

I want to thank everyone for keeping us in your thoughts. My Dad is on his second round of chemo. Besides feeling like complete shit, he is hanging in there.

Don't let your pumpkins party!

New camera

I got the new Canon Rebel digital SLR camera. It rocks. I don't have a clue what I am doing yet but here are some shots done in automatic.

Happy Gram

Samantha got the first Happy-gram of the year at her school. The director came into Sami's room on Friday to give it to her. Sami has been having a hard time when we drop her off so I think they decided to give it to her to help with that. It worked. Today she didn't cry when I dropped her off. Sami was very proud. I love that school, they are the nicest bunch of ladies.

What the.........?

Jillian tried cereal yesterday for the first time. I think the post title sums it up. I don't think she was quite ready for it yet. I don't think she actually swallowed any of it. Maybe if her ditsy Mom would have heated it up a little first, it would have tasted a little better. Sami wanted to taste it and said "that tastes yuck." We are going to try again next week.

Vicky's visit.

Sean's Mom was here last week. Fortunately her trip was not as eventful as my Mom's. There were no diverted airplanes or broken down cars. We just had a nice visit. Sami's behavior around Grandma was a little better. Jillian was just happy like always.

First day of school

Sami is in the 4 year old class at Kuwae Preschool this year. Her first day was on Wednesday. She cried on Wednesday and Friday. Hopefully Monday is better.
