    Trick or treating

    Holy late post, Batman! I meant to post about Halloween a while ago, but we’ve been kept busy with sickness and doctor appointments. So here, finally, I’ve finished writing about when we went trick or treating. (All things considered, I’m glad I was able to get the post out within a month of it happening.)

  • A trip to the pumpkin farm

    A trip to the pumpkin farm

    Yesterday we took Namine to a pumpkin farm. It was a vertitable parade – me, Jessica, Namine, my sister, my mom and dad, one of Jessica’s sisters, and her mom. We had a lot of fun. Namine had a blast, especially on the hay ride.

  • Father’s Day picnic

    For Father’s Day, Jessica, Namine, and I went over to my mom’s house.

  • Polish Fest tomorrow

    Tomorrow Jessica and I are going to be helping out our friend and neighbor Leah with the kids’ area at Polish Fest, down at the Summerfest grounds. We’ll be helping to set up the games and prizes, and assisting with running the games, crafts, and activities. This will be our second year helping out, and…

  • On growth and caudal regression

    Namine seems to be doing well. She’s happy, active, and she’s keeping up with her usual appetite.

  • Appointment day

    Namine had an appointment today, a checkup visit with Dr. Denny, her plastic surgeon. (Why are they called plastic surgeons? They operate on people.) Just to make sure her jaw is doing okay, and all that lovely stuff. And tomorrow’s the big day! We check in at the hospital tomorrow at 10.

  • Music class

    My mom and dad picked Namine up to take her to some kind of music class this morning. I’ll update everybody on how it went later. In the meantime, Jess, her sister Chyral, and I are going to pick up the cake and go to the baby shower. We’ll all meet there and then I…

  • Tribute to Namine tonight

    Tonight my friend and coworker Derek is performing with his band at the House of Guinness in Waukesha, in tribute to Namine.

  • Fatten her up already!

    Namine has had weight issues all her life. Right now she’s stuck at 17-18 pounds, and it doesn’t look like she’s going to put on more weight any time soon. It doesn’t make sense, because she’s obviously growing, getting longer, but she’s not putting on weight like she ought to. Naturally, her doctors scold us…

  • Birthday photos complete

    Okay kids, I’ve uploaded the rest of the pictures. FileZilla hates me, but I got it done. I built the other page for the 8×10 photos too, so browse to your hearts’ content.

  • Fries and ketchup, hold the fries

    We went out this evening, with the intention of stopping by the UPS store to pick up a package, going to dinner, and stopping by Jess’s mom’s apartment before heading back home. Let’s just say things didn’t exactly go to plan. That’s okay, though. We still had a fun time out together, and we got…

  • Horse therapy

    Horse therapy

    Yep, you read that right. No, it’s not therapy for horses; it’s therapy for humans – Namine, specifically.
