Gobble Gobble (Day 1)

Suzannah's update

Just wanted to give a quick little update on Suzannah. Her surgery went as good as could be expected. I have gotten lost in some of the details, don't want to be misinformative, but all in all, her lymph nodes are cancer free, and there is no need for chemo (A-mazing!!!). We are all so relieved.

Halloween Hooplah 2008

I'm starting to really love Halloween! I mean really love it! And all because of WORK! Growing up, we always dressed up, but it was never too big of a deal. I remember always having so much fun though. As an adult, however, and at WORK no less, Halloween has become something I anticipate joyfully. It's like really being a kid again. Our small department at work put a good bit of thought into what our "look" is going to be in the weeks approaching the big day. Hopefully, it is obviouse that this year we were Alice In Wonderland. There was a lot of creativity involved in this process...none of these dead-on, perfectly peiced together outfits were store bought THANK YOU VERY MUCH!...oh, and that's me as a blond.
And Miss Amelia Bug was none other than a pink poodle. She refused to put on the hood, so the she was more like a headless poodle. She sure did cozzy up nicely to the cutest kangaroo on the block though! Kangaroo and Poodle had a blast chasing each others' tails. Preston, who used his radiation mask to frighten all the little ones, looked more like an albino spiderman peacock. We both took Amelia a couple of blocks over to "trick or treat". They block of a stretch of road for all of the trick or treaters. The houses are decked out and there must have been more than a hundred carved pumpkins within two or so blocks of each other. It was spooktacular! (Sorry, dumb)
