We had a VERY special visit over the holidays! G-G came all the way from Florida!

G-G and my Momma have a very special relationship. They are the best of friends!! They talk nearly everyday and sometimes even twice!
When G-G came we made her a knotted blanket so she can stay nice and warm on cold Florida nights....she says it gets so cold that the plants sometimes freeze!
Aren't the colors beautiful!?

MY CHRISTMAS DRESS FROM GRAMMY

I figured I'd help myself to Santa's cookies....I didn't think he could possibly eat them ALL! Don't you love my party dress?! My Grammy Middeker made it for my by hand! Each stitch was made with love :)
Here is Shusha...eatin me up!

STICKERS WITH POP POP

I recently discovered my love for STICKERS! They stick everywhere!!! Even where they don't belong, like on furniture and clothes!!

Just so fascinating!! EVEN ON POP POP!
But he doesn't mind because he loves me so!

He loves my curly blonde locks!!

SOME SMILES!

It's been a rough week, but last night I decided to start flashing some smiles. This was a welcome break for Shusha and Momma because I have been pretty lippy here lately. Let's just say, my little hospital stay spoiled me a little bit!PEEK-A-BOO
Mommy loves this picture, she thinks I look like my cousin Kalyn.

Smiles, finally, lots of smiles! We contacted the pediatrician and made an appointment on the 7th of January. I will have more details then....keep checking back for updates!

Kady's first trip to the ER

Mommy, Shusha and I drove to Maryland to stay at

Great Auntie Treece's house on December 27th. We 

were suppose  leave for Japan on the 28th.  During 

the night I started to have trouble breathing.  Thanks 

to Mommy who woke and heard me, she quickly 

rushed me to the ER. When I got there  I had a 103 

temperature! My oxygen levels were low. The nurses 

hooked me up to oxygen. I didn't like having that up my 

nose and tried to pull it off. They are clever and taped

 it to my face! I am thankful for doctors and nurses.

 They helped me to feel better.

Our plans for Japan are postponed for now. I need

to feel better in order to fly the long flight to Japan.

Thank you everyone for praying for me!

Here are some pictures taken in the ER. Mommy says

I was a big girl when I got my Iv!

Thank You Mommy for taking such good care of me!

I was happy to have Shusha there too! 

Great Auntie Treece took lot's of pictures of me.

She also bought me another Monkey!  

His name is David!

Great Antie Treece and My Monkey!

Great Auntie Treece came to visit Shusha! 

She gave me a monkey that I  love so much!  

His name is Lips!

Great Auntie Treece loves to take pictures!

Don't my eyes look just like Mommas! 

MERRY CHRISTMAS - 2008

Merry Christmas from our home, uh...suitcase, to yours!

LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW

Today was the first time I was able to take advantage of what New England really has to offer!

SNOW!I borrowed a snowsuit and a set of boots....and well, I didn't get far. This snow is hard to walk in! Wipe OUT!

Alrighty, hopefully the next time you check the blog I will have had this snow thing figured out. It's tricky!

FAREWELL OR GOOD RIDDANCE?

This Wednesday was Mommy's last day on board PSD Patuxent River, MD. A few of her SHIPMATES decided to ship her off with something to remember them by. I don't know vandalism was a really the way to send someone off?
What do you think?

Here are the culprits!
Mommy thought this disturbing gesture was still a sweet one and it made her tear up (not!).

A WALK AROUND THE CITY

Mom has been busy since I've been staying with Shusha! This weekend Pop Pop and Di came down to Washington, DC to see the sights and Momma drove up to meet them. From what Momma told me, it was VERY cold. Here is Momma and Pop Pop at the Changing of the Guard.
Is that real?! No, silly....it's a statue of FDR's puppy.

Thank you Pop Pop and Di for spending the day with Momma. She really enjoyed it.

A FEW VIDEOS OF MISS BELLE

When Daddy arrived in Japan we were able to video chat on the computer! I was so excited to see him all I did was hug and kiss Momma's computer. I can't wait to see him again! Momma said we'll be all together again in 23 days! That's not to long is it?

The other day I was showing off my twirling skills. I think I've got it down pat...minus a stumble or two!

I figured Mommy deserved a few hours off...so I gave her some vacation time!Here is Mommy and Auntie Amanda...Momma was on the phone with Auntie Mish. They were sad that Auntie Mish couldn't make it. Here is Auntie Amanda....just lounging!Here is Momma, maxin' and relaxin'. Here are the finished products!!!
