first birthday

last week was my great niece's first birthday, she is in the pink, and my granddaughter is in the red. This was the first time they have met and they were not quite sure what to make of each other! Christmas is going to be fun this year

Declan

Declan picking up plastic insects with tweezer and putting them in a ice cube tray with his "parents as teachers" teacher. She was testing his fine motor skills. The kids do the "pat" program every three months or so. Miss Melody comes to the house and testing the kids on their skills to make sure they are on target on their development. the best things is the program is free.

thanksgiving

I know this is a little late, but i've been sick

again. Got over the strep throat, felt pretty

good the week of thanksgiving, cooked for the

family, part of the family is above,

did a little Christmas shopping and woke

up Monday morning sick again. Went to the

doctor and was told i had the "seasonal flu"

started taking tamiflu and felt almost

human a few days later. Now i'm

just trying to stay well for

Christmas.
