Hello November!



Shortly after my last post, I found out that I was going to be having back surgery to fix a herniated disk (some of you might remember that my back blew out last February). Well, the MRI showed that I have a significant compression to my spinal nerve, which the doctor felt should be taken care of soon. So, I am having surgery on Monday...wish me luck!


Halloween was fun...rather than doing costumes, we did face painting. Jimmy started, but the white didn't show up very well (he wanted to be a ghost), then he was getting itchy and wanted to quit the paint. Emma and Andrew were game, and I thought if I did my own face, we'd all have a little more fun! Bowen wasn't interested...just wanted the candy!!! Anyway, I think Emma looked darling (that is, before her paint got all smeared)!
Emma told me a story today..."Batman helps me...he helped me outside. He is nice, and helped me to get in this house, because I couldn't open the door." It was very cute!


Big excitement this morning. A Bald Eagle that I spotted flying up river yesterday, flew RIGHT into the tree in the back of the house...maybe 30 feet away! Stunning view, and he wasn't the least bit afraid of me being so close, trying to get a good picture! Two others were flying nearby--didn't know if they were females or just juveniles....Monte, you'll have to educate me!


Emma turned 3....had a good party with the siblings. Balloons still seem to be the most fun play thing!


The computer hasn't been cooperating, and the dial up continues to be painfully slow. I'll quit for now, and try to give you an update sometime after surgery.
Oh, just for fun, I thought I'd include a picture of Jim and I from our wedding...it's been 7 years (holy crap!), where DOES the time GO???!!!
