House Warming

Had a blast....
After about 20 rounds of beer pong, Todd was trying to make an attempt to show his "chi chi de hombres"....; started Brians tractor in the garage and mumbled something about the movie "Can't Buy Me Love"; AND was feeling quite ill exactly 5 times from Thompson to Griswold.

Redneck Gala

Invited Jorge and Nacho to the picnic. People think the rednecks are in the south, but I am here to tell you that they are in Brooklyn!

Jakob finally got to meet them; he looked at me kind of funny when I introduced him to Nacho, like "Momma, don't we eat nacho's for snack?"

Yes, He's 32

I know, it is hard to believe that Todd is 32 today. Poor guy has more gray hair than both of my parents combined

Where Jakob thinks you live

Jakob is starting to learn where different family members live and work.

When asked where our different family members live, he at first said "blueberries". I then told him the city and he tried to repeat the word:

Nana lives in Putam (Putnam)
Grammy & Grampy live in Cornfield (Plainfield)
Uncle Scotty lives in Washville (Nashville)
Uncle Kev lives in Moofup (Moosup)
Uncle Kevin lives in Denber (Denver)
Jakob said he lives "here" in Jewett Siwy Siwy
Great Gram lives in Woostop (Woodstock)
Pop-pi (Bob) lives in Montana
Aunt Elly lives in Cawforne (California)
Aunt Robin lives in Rafi (Killingly)
Aunt Nancy lives in New Wondin (New London)
Grama Poppie lives in Newpork (Newport)
Catherine goes to school in Bostin
Scotty J lives in Foltown (Voluntown)
James and Tanda live in Eeeyhoooo (Idaho)

I asked him where Matchu Pitchu was and he remembered that it was "Faaaar awaaay in the clouds."

He knows that Mommy works at Spirol and Daddy drives a BIG TRUCK. Grampy works at EB aka "Chocwat Boat" in Jewett Siwy Siwy; both Nana and Grammy work in Putam; Aunt Robin and Nancy work at the Casano

I asked him to say a few more things and he said" Ok, ok, no more!"

Jakob Stories

I came down stairs Saturday morning after getting dressed to be met by Jakob in the livingroom saying "I made a corn field in the kitchen Mommy!". All I could think of was what now?! I walked in the kitchen to find mexi-corn all over the floor. He had opened a container from the frig and dumped it on the floor.

Today Jakob was laying with Todd on the couch when Todd passed some smelly gas. Jakob yells "We need to get out of here...get a rope!".

He says his yellow chips (Lays baked; orange ones are Doritos) are scrumptious.

Cornea Transplant Update

My eye is almost completey healed!

My vision is 20/60 (it had stayed 20/150 since the day after surgery; with the "pin hole" it is 20/50!

The doctor has reduced my Pred Forte (anti-rejection/steriod antibiotic) drops from 4 times per day to 3. He has also moved my monthly appointments to every 6 weeks.
