A blog I follow linked to a blog she follows who shared this set of whacked-out, insomia-induced dreams. I can identify with the vibe of these reveries as I’ve had a few doosies myself from time to time…

Yesterday was rough. Ramona had her regularly scheduled cardiology follow-up and I just didn’t have a good feeling about it beforehand. Her cold is still lingering and during times of activity her feet and lips have been turning blue. Not enough to warrant any action, just enough to scare me. And although I am pretty sure it’s just the cold, it was hard not to wonder if it might be related to her cardiac status.

Happy Birthday Ramona,

We had a kind of crappy Thanksgiving. We were all set and packed to go to Appleton to see Andy’s family for a few days. We had even scheduled a portrait of the whole fam-damily, a first with Simon, Ramona and baby niece Phare. But on Monday night Ramona came down with a cold and fever and was too sick to travel. So Andy took Simon up north on Wednesday morning and we agreed that Mona and I would follow as soon as she was able.

We had a great Halloween. I’m a little cynical about “kid holidays”, but I have to admit that they both had a really good time. We trick-or-treated at about 4 houses and that was plenty. At our first stop, Simon went up the stairs and when the home-owner opened the door, he walked right in and started playing with their toys. I had to forcibly remove him.

I’ve been delinquent. I apologize. There’s a lot going on here, but nothing life or death. At least not that we know of…

We’re chuggin’ along here. (more…)

Hi there. Looks like everything is okey-dokey with Ramona’s repair! No change as far as they can tell. That’s great news, thanks for all the prayers. I’ve got one more prayer request to throw on the pile.

Well, it’s official. Ramona is about 40lbs of cute in a 20lb bag. She’s so big and chunky she barely fits on our scale now!

This entry is mostly an excuse for me to post some pictures, but I’ll go ahead and tell you about Ramona’s upcoming trip, too. (more…)
