We all have to go through pissy / whiney / say-mean-things stages. I think I'm going through some pretty bad grief right now.
Whatever.
Sorry.
Cancer sux.

Emma's Dr Appt
Emma really impressed the doctor. You know Emma, if Joey does it she has to do it. Her potty training, her talking, just her overall development. The doctor was really impressed.
Emma has come a long way in the last 14 - 15 months. You may recall she was quite the "neurotic toddler" there for a while. This has greatly improved. She's still a bit difficult but really no more than any other difficult 3-year-old.
She got a shot but these kids don't really mind shots. They watched their little brother get shots every night for months.
She's 25th percentile in height and 30th in weight, or vice-versa. In other words, she's a petite little princess.
Emma rox!

It's Been a Year
It's been a year since grandpa died. A year and 10 hours to be exact. Still coming to grips with it. See ya tomorrow when I'll be in a better mood.

Another Crazy Weekend! (but good)
Friday night gave way to an impromptu small gathering of friends, as often happens on Fridays. I would be remiss if I didn't give a huge "Cancer Sux!" to my uncle's father-in-law who lost his battle recently and had his funeral on Friday.
Saturday, as many of you know, was going to be Emma's birthday party. But our block party was that day so we had to move it to Sunday.
It's weird that no only are we no longer the youngest couple on the block, there's quite a few younger couples on the block now and I felt like one of the old guys at times.
Emma's birthday party was fun. Julie did the grilling so I could watch the Rams get stomped. *sigh*
On the bright side, our long-lost drinking buddy has returned from hurricane chasing! That roxed!
Tomorrow is the 1-year anniversary of losing Grandpa. ouch.

1 Year Ago...
...I was in Tucson saying goodbye to the man who had a huge part in making me who I am today. Andy's counts were up, so there was no concern there. But we were a couple days away from going back to the hospital for the second round of chemo.
So a year ago I was saying the goodbye that I had always dreaded more than any other, while putting my son through cancer treatment. And today my biggest problem was that I overslept and had to make Joey eat breakfast on his way to school instead of at school.
I call that progress.
I seem to recall a year ago making a post that I was emotionally numb. I still am. Maybe it's not a bad thing. Maybe it is. Who knows.

We Miss You!
We have a friend who is out of town helping with hurricaine efforts. While we admire the efforts, we also miss you! Not the same without you. Too many long faces!
I was half-expecting Julie to have to go out of town to help with hurricaine efforts. I got lucky. As painful as it is to have to go out of town, it's even more painful when she goes out of town.
