Day 1 - 4/8/08

Wow! You think you had a bad day!

It started out normal enough, though I started to wish that I had some more space. Talk about being careful what you wish for.

As I sat in my place--you know, your typical fluid filled, anti-gravitational, sensory deprived sack of waters--I started to think that I wanted more. Don't get me wrong the rent was great, all utilities included, I never had to clean up, and the best part was a 24/7 all you can eat buffet! It was fine, all the kids my age had basically the same set up, but something was telling me that there was more and I just had to find out what it was.

Then, as if someone from above heard my prayers, a bright light appeared. I went toward it and that's when everything changed.

Suddenly, (at exactly 12:16 pm on April 8, 2008) I was cold, I was hungry, it was bright, and it was loud. At that instant I started to yearn for my old place back, but, get this, they changed the lock on me! I couldn't get back. I mean, I knew the housing market was bad, but give me a break!

It was a whirlwind of activity. People I didn't even know were poking me, proding me, trying to clean me, and all I wanted was to go home. The best they could do is wrap me tightly in a blanket, put a hat on me, and try to mimic my home. Who do they think they're fooling?

I'm not so worried about it now because I have this great person called "Mommy" to take care of me. Here's one of our first pictures together:


She gives me all the food I need, and when she wraps me in a blanket it feels like I'm home. There's also someone called "Daddy" but he can't stop crying long enough for me to get to know anything about him.

We now live in what can only be described as a halfway house, apparently we are going to move to a place called Ukranian Village soon. (What's that all about? We're not Ukranian and it's not a village.) Oh! and get this! I have to live with a roomate. OMG! Apparently, his name is Sammy, he's four and can't walk upright, never talks, and still needs to be picked up after. Sounds like a real winner. I hope he doesn't embarass me when my friends come over.

All this excitement is makeing me sleepy. I'll post again soon, in the meantime check out some more pictures:




Love to All!

Wow. It's been a really long time since my last post and so much as happened. For starters I turned TWO! My Grammie and Gramps came into town and brought me a bike!! It's so much fun. I can't really work the pedals yet but Mommy pushes me and I'm learning to steer it. Then we had a birthday party with all my friends and family. I loved my fairy cake. I think Evan had too much fun at the party though because he fell asleep in the middle of it! Speaking of Evan, he is getting really big and doing so many new things. He stands up and crawls and he even eats real food now. Here he is standing up in his crib. As you can see, he gets really excited about this new skill. Now that it's summertime we do lots of fun things. Like going down the slide at the park... going on the swings... hanging at the zoo... wearing sunglasses... hanging at the beach in Michigan... and playing in the pool on the deck. Even Sammy likes to go swimming in the little pool. I also like to play dre...

Christmas!!

What a great Christmas we had! So many fun activities for Evan and I... Mommy took us to see Santa with our cousins. I was excited to see him but I didn't want to sit on his lap so I just waved and said hi to him. Afterwards we ate at Ed Debevic's where they gave me this cool hat to wear. Evan got to wear one too... Mommy took me to the museum to see pretty Christmas trees from around the world. Then we went to tea at the Peninsula with Yaiyai and my Theas and cousins. On Christmas Eve we hung our stockings for Santa. Here we are by the tree on Christmas Eve. We must have been very good this year because Santa left us a fun slide under the Christmas tree! We had fun opening all the great presents! I liked trying on my new clothes... and Evan liked playing with his new truck. I got new boots and so did Mommy. We were so excited that we put them on right away over our pjs. Here we are in our new boots! I liked wearing my reindeer antlers... but Evan didn't like to wear his! ...

Well, I am now officially a toddler. Last week I had my first birthday. Or should I say birthdays as there were multiple celebrations. First I got a present in the mail from my friends Garrett and Tucker. A Ball Popper toy! OMG- this is the most fun toy ever. It makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. I don't know what's funnier, the balls popping all over the place or my mom and dad scrambling to retrieve the balls to put them back in the machine. Check it out- Then I had a party with all my friends at school and I got to eat my first ever cupcake. YUM! This was a nice change from the chicken and peas and carrots that I usually eat. Then my Grammie and Grandpa came into town for my birthday and they brought me a big chair with my name on it and a nice doll. Then we had a big party with my family and all my friends. I got to eat pizza and more cake! YUM-O! My two most favorite things about being a big kid are that I get to walk now (sort of) and I get to be a big sister. In Septemb...
