everyone is adjusting We are still getting adjusted to life with a little person. Jaden opens up a little more every day. We have mastered the car seat and the high chair but still dispise bathtime. She likes to be held but is getting a little more independent with playing on the floor with her toys.(and every little piece of something in the carpet!) She eats everything,( including the previously mentioned carpet junk) not picky at all, made the transition from Chinese rice to Mexican rice with no complaints! Her hair is getting longer and i am envious! Tait is a good big brother but he is loud and moves fast. Most the time she does not mind. (she did bite him once for picking her up!) He is due for a promotion for his purple belt soon. Says he does not like karate but likes getting his belts. Is he missing something here????
I am in for an MRI of the brain today to follow up on my Gamma Knife procedure. I have not really thought much about what i will do if it was not successful. I just assume it was. Also will be cleaning out my classroom this afternoon. My medical retirement came through so i will be a retired teacher as of February 1. If my miracle comes through in the next two years, i can return to teaching. RIght now i am feeling better and concentrating on being healthy. The stressfree life and extra sleep sure seem to be helping my body. I do miss my students and collegues. Sure gives me a great deal of time to think which is not always a safe thing!!

Call the Fire Dept., Dad's cooking
Dori left my explicit instructions: cook shrimp fried rice for dinner. No problem. I got the wok out and set the burner on "HIGH" and added some oil. Then I started watching the news...and the next time I glanced at the stove large flames were licking the microwave that lives over the stove. I didn't panic, I got the wok off the stove and put the lid on it, as flames continued to escape my attempts to contain them. Finally I got the lid on tight enough to put out the fire, but not before the fire alarm started beeping at me. I think I burned off the coating on the bottom of the wok. But the fried rice got made and it was good. However the wok was toast, it did make for easy clean up though.
Tait and Jaden are doing great together. He really likes to play with her and she takes the "rough handling" pretty well. We are so happy with how things have worked out so far. We are very blessed to have two great kids. I hate going to work now but I manage.
