Busy Month

Yes it's been a while since I had something to put out here. I have a fever and Lily has a cold. fairing pretty well but I think I am getting it now and I'm sure Jim will be next. We have a Devil Bliss suction machine, but don't really need anything more than the squeeze bulbs to get the boogers out. All I can say on the topic of her cold is: If you are sick and will be at a similar gathering as Lily, don't go. If you still have to go, then one of us will stay home with Lily and you will not being seeing her. Getting down off the soapbox now...

I had my MRI this past weekend and nothing was found. One less year of worry.

Props out to Hannah --Vivian's Mom -- for an excellent post on "sisters" who GET IT!! Thank you so much for a such a smile/tear inspiring piece.

Wonderful Week

Last Sunday my parents had a party for their 50th Anniversary. They decided to have an openhouse at their townhouse and have it catered. It was a great success. Lily "held court" in their den and got to meet all of my parents friends and relatives she hadn't seen. I think my parents are great people and are lucky to have so many friends. On Monday they are going on a cruise to Hawaii to celebrate. Jim took this series of photos. I just love to watch the way my dad just loves Lily. He is so proud of her.















Today my best friend (yes I know that phrase is, like, soooo high school but she is!!) Kathy took the day off and we went over to Cosley Zoo. They have it all decorated with cornstalks and mini pumpkins and LARGE pumpkins. We saw baby goats that came and kissed me. I think those were Lily's favorite part. I had her wearing a White Sox jersey but she really was not liking it so I put on her Bears hoodie and she was satisfied. We had some cider and I let Lily have a taste. She must have liked it because she kept licking her lips!
