We celebrated Gordon’s birthday on February 2. He turned 39. He was able to join us for a piece of cake, a few hugs and lots of well wishes. Then he was back to bed, leaving the rest of us to party it up in the unit’s family room.
We didn’t party too much as we are all fairly overwhelmed with everything.
We are planning a fundraising dinner and raffle on February 11th.
Let the search for donations begin!
I need to give Lily more credit. She got an Itouch for Christmas and I really didn’t think she would be able to figure everything out on it. Weather or not she really knows all the time what she is doing is still questionable. But she still manages to get to places I didn’t even…
That’s what Gordon said yesterday! He could here her voice on the T.V. and clear as a bell said “Oprah Shut Up!” We were thrilled! Gordon has been moved to the rehab unit. He has a very long road ahead of him. He gets 3 hours of therapy 3 times a day. It is very…
Tonight Young Women had a combined activity with the Young Men. They all went ice skating. Lily had a great time and reported she didn’t fall at all! Don’t know how accurate that is because she also told us she didn’t have any treats and as you can see in the pictures she was enjoying…
Tonight was a fundraiser for Lily’s school. Village Inn, down the street from the school, is going to donate a percentage of tonight’s profits to Eisenhower. As we walked in Lily was recognized by several other students, and she recognized them. It was like a slow motion picture as Lily and another girl ran to…
I was invited to attend this activity. The girls were making jewelry and needed some extra hands to help. That meant I got to make jewelry for me too I got to watch Lily interact with the girls. Some were really into jewelry making so just casually talked with her. Others who were finished were hanging…
When I started Lily’s blog back in 2008 it was so family and friends could follow her journey while making the movie The Jerk Theory (no it never came out in the U.S. and I don’t think it will). It has progressed since then to her fun Lilyisms antics and her journey into a teenager….
That is the name that has stuck with our son-in-law. Lily couldn’t pronounce Gordon at the time. Gordon is a lovable 6’5″ bear of a guy. He’s an outdoors man, who loves to hunt, camp, and fish. Yesterday while ice fishing he slipped and fell on the ice. A 6’5″ guy falls hard. He has…
Lily, her brother Kenny, and I were traveling in the car tonight when Lily started going off on her brother. She was listing all the things he had done wrong. I asked her if she was perfect. “yes” I then started listing some of the things that she had recently done that weren’t really appropriate…
What a combo! I need to catch up with so many things. It is not helping that Lily is changing daily! This puberty thing has me getting nauseous. Lily is heading there in a big hurry. She has jumped from a size 12 to a 16 in most clothes and went from a size 5…
