Are You REALLY Too Busy???

I have received this email many times since this war has begun, but just dawned on me to spread the info through the blog. We are sending more than one, since more than one military member is helping to fight this war. It is as follows: Subject: FW: Great idea to do! Folks, Let's spread this! When doing your Christmas cards this year, take one card and send it to the address listed below. If we pass this on and everyone sends one card, think of how many cards these wonderful, special people who have sacrificed so much would get ? When you are making out your Christmas card list this year, please include the following: A Recovering American Soldier c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center 6900 Georgia Avenue, NW Washington , D.C. 20307-5001

A bun...

in the tub (and you were thinking otherwise - SHAME on you!)! I couldn't help but snap this as Kensley played in the tub the other night. Yes, that's a little bun of hair on her head!

Oh, What Fun!

Thanks to Uncle Rob, we had the wonderful opportunity to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade live and in-person!!! Whatever wonder and delight you experience on tv, it is nothing like living it beat-by-beat, march-by-march. We sat on the first row of the bleachers right at 71st St, the front end of the parade. Mike and I were just as excited as (if not slightly more than) Kensley! We were awe stricken as we watched talent after talent come by, wave, sing, and wish us all a very Happy Thanksgiving. Kensley had strong opinions about clowns throwing confetti, but other than that, she was just as mesmerized as we were! Take some time to watch the video (when Blogger starts working again!). It really is magnificent at all of the work and precise coordination that goes into this timeless operation. Thanks, Uncle Rob!!!

Little Reader

OOOOOHHHHhhhhh! PLEASE let this be a sign of what we have in store for us: a little reader. This past week, I have 'caught' Kensley being really quiet for a few seconds. When I peek around the corner to check on her, this is what I find... Kensley reading "buups." (Say it like "book," but with a /p/ at the end.)
