Jail Break

Matt finally got the sickness. This morning I was in Mera's room nursing her and I heard our house alarm go off. This happens if a door is opened before we disarm it. It took a while to shut off. When I got up I asked Matt what happened. This is the chain of events as I understand them:
Darby woke up and went to get Daddy. He had been up all night coughing so he told her to go back to bed. She went into the living room and saw some birds out the window. She went in the kitchen, got some crackers and went out the back door to feed the birds. This is why we never go to bed without the alarm set. This is what we mean when we say spirited.

Randomness

Here a picture purge of the last two weeks. Not enough of anything to deserve its own post but I thought worth putting up.

Nanue cam and stayed for a few days last week because I had to work due to an employee absence. It was a big help.

Mera just loves G and will be happy to just be with her. When Matt gives them a bath he sits just outside the door where he can watch but it won't upset Mera. She will just play with Georgia forever but if an adult other than myself enters the bathroom she will start crying.

I gave Darby her first set of pigtails but had to lead by example to talk her in to it.

Oh, and I bribed her with a Tootsie Roll.



Mera is on the food train. Lovin' some prunes and bananas.



We moved the slide inside for the snow storm. It of course ended in tears.



And more eating.

Matt did the girls nails and in turn, they did his.

When I'm 64

Mary had a birthday last week and turned 64. She is so hot. Here she is with 3 of 6 grand-girls.
Her cake was an ode to the peacocks.



We ended the night with a dance party and Mera even let Debo hold her while he danced.



But the truth comes out in the end and Debo proved to all who his real love is.

ECCO Program

I haven't done a hearing update in a while, which is good. Means there is nothing to report or talk about. We are participating in a program called ECCO (I don't know what it stands for, how bad is that). A nice lady (Petra) comes to our house once a week and works with Georgia on improving her listening and communication skills. It has been great so far and has taught both Matt and me so much. Here are just a couple of pictures of G and Petra playing games and working together. They did some sort of scavenger hunt where there was a toy at the end for G to find.
