Cowgirl Odessa

Odessa's school brings in ponys once a year for the kids to ride, and to get photos taken with. Here is the 2009 Pony Picture taken about two months ago. I have one from 2008 too, but I just now realized that it never got scanned. One more thing for Larry's "to-do" list.

Three Years Ago

Three years ago today, my life changed in a most dramatic and amazing way. Thank you world for giving me my daughter -- I can't imagine life without her.

Birthday Party!!

Last weekend we had Odessa's birthday party at the Elephant House in Washington Park. She had a blast getting to play with her friends, eat donuts, run around, eat donuts and, did I mention, eat donuts? Thank you to all of our friends who could share the day with us -- it means so much to have such wonderful, supportive people in our lives!

Breafast of Champions

Odessa asked for sunflower nut butter for breakfast one morning. Better than donuts, right? And, yes, this is what her hair looks like when she first wakes up (and before I tame it with water and a comb).

False Fact

Basically Larry's proudest achievement is getting people to believe things that aren't true. Last summer he managed to convince Kalina that watermelon is highly caloric.

My co-worker's boyfriend has a website where he illustrates and publishes one "false fact" a day. Today he chose mine! Now that is my proudest achievement.
