So finally. A new post.



I think I've worked up enough courage to make this post today, but it won't be long one. And it's another item in a long list of first for us - firsts without Rowan- that is. But once the initial pain of it passes, the next time I do this, it will be easier. Since this website is our home page, I've really enjoyed seeing her photo everytime I opened the browser, but I know that we need to share with our friends and family the goings-on in our household.

So here goes.

The title of this photo is bath night. This child is destined to swim, or boat, or something in the water. We can't keep her out of it. If there is water anywhere -tub, pet water bowl, puddle, glass on the end table - she will find it and play in it. I'm thinking she would love swimming lessons. I'll have to check into that for her.

I've loaded lots of photos into our web ablums. You can browse them by clicking here.

A little more sad news from our household that I wanted to share. Our dog Molly, of nearly 14 years has cancer. And treatment doesn't really seem like a recommended course for her. If you have seen her anytime over the last 4 months you probably had some inkling she wasn't well. She's done some doctoring, and now she's gots some meds to make her comfortable, and she seems to be. We're hoping for a peaceful journey for the remainder of our time with her.

Colleen, I wanted to stop in to say thank you for commenting on Annabel's blog. I was going to email you seperately and talk with you. Somethings are going on with Annabel aside from the bacteria that maybe of some concern. I am not ready to mention this yet on the blog as they are just talking not even to testing yet. Did you ever share about Rowan's illness? I may have missed it or you may not want to share and I understand. It is always interesting to keep up with what happen to these precious children as to that it may help another. I think of you often and remember her beautiful smile and eyes. I have shared her story and picture with several nurses here at the hospital. they are intrigue with Annabel and Trisomy 18.
