Wow, almost a month has pasted. Everyone is doing well. Thanksgiving was great. We met up with Lisa, Steph, Christina, and John yesterday and went to the Santa Cruz boardwalk.

Steph's front teeth are still not end, so it looks like she will be able to ask Santa for them for xmas :)

HALLOWEEN 08

ok, I know they are in reverse order, but here are some pix of Stephanie's parade....

belated 40th

Yesterday, we managed to finally have our get together for Lisa's 40th bday. It was me, Lisa, Julie, Deb, Steph, Con, Dominic and Destiny.
Worked out well, 3 kids between 4.5 and 6.5, 4 adults and one 3 month old for us to pass around.
I picked up a couple of cakes from Dick's bakery, they are known for their burnt almond cakes. So we got our normal white one and got the pumpkin one to try. It was really good. Also picked up a couple of doughnuts for the kiddos.
We wore out the kids, and us too, but it was fun. Hopefully, it will not take us all as long to get together again.
Please say a little pray for Lisa, her back has been hurting her for weeks now. She hasn't been able to stand up straight. Hopefully the mri will let the drs know how to treat her.

Steph, being cheesy. Well we now have lost both our front teeth!! She was very proud, walked of class with a big smile, her glasses purse, her folder and her tooth...

losing it

Steph has been losing things lately. She lost her front tooth over the weekend :).
She has lost her glasses while with me 3x in one day:(. We now have a designated bear where she is now suppost to put them when she takes them off.
And she keeps losing her Hello Kitty pin:(. She will take it off her uniform, stick it in her shoe, and not realize it is no longer in said shoe. Then the big tears well up. Of course she always seems to be in Ally's room when she loses it. Luckily we have found it each time.

More from the St Jude luncheon

Thanks to one of the donors, Fernando, I was able to get some more pix....Lisa/Stephanie with the gang from St Jude's, from left to right Lisa, Melinda, Carolyn, Jody, Leslie, Stephanie and John
Lisa was nervous but did a great job.
Stephie, she was playing around with her name tag with Leslie while Lisa was speaking.

Before the lunch she was totally willing to do the St Jude pose, isn't she cute with the new glasses!!!! and a random shot of Lisa while giving her speech. Steph was anty by this time, but everyone thought it was great she was acting like a normal 6 year old...
