We have lots of appointments coming up so I figured I better post while I can.

Angela has surgery coming up this week. Christina's appointments are the end of the month into October. I think we have surgery, neurologist, eye, physiologist, and then the dentist. The dentist appointment will be her first cleaning.

Time to get ready for work.

Morning,

Christina, my little princess, has been up most of the night. I decided to try and be productive. Check email, weather, woot, blog.

Christina is so cute this time of the morning. Her eyes are big, we didn't turn on any big lights. She has a big yawn every three minutes or so. And, as we sit here, she is bracing one hand on the desk and grabbing the laptop with the other.

Christina's turn to type :

I have been a busy beaver working on pictures.

The wonderful pictures of Christina needed to be sorted. And, backed up. I am done. All of 2006, 2007, and 2008 through the first half of August.

Now, my next task is to sort and backup the pictures I pulled out of Christina's folder.

AND, I finished the crude form to choose the year and month of the photo album. I stuck in a slideshow also, 'cause it looked neat. Angela loved it so more work on that. I finished an uploader tonight. Now Angela can upload the photos and I don't need to worry about it.

The link for that is here.

The good news from the doctor is that Christina just has the sniffles. No CT scan needed today. We also have some ideas to try to help her sleep at night. And, to help with her stool.

Teething seems to be less of a problem the last couple days. With some luck, we will get a break from that for a few months.

I want to take Christina camping this weekend. It would be her first time. The gear is out and ready to load up. We're gonna play it by ear to see what kind of a mood she is in. Tonight she was in a bad mood for quite awhile. She was in good spirits when she went to bed. I am crossing my fingers.

Swim, swim, swim. Yesterday I took Christina swimming. It was the first time I took her by myself.

We had a fun time. Christina thought the car ride could have been better.

After swimming, we came home and had a snack. After a little play time, nap time. I wish I could fall asleep quickly for a nap. No zzz's for me.

Today Christina and I went for two walks after dinner. Progress is being made. One, Christina is willing to go for a walk in the wheelchair. Two, I am off my duff and going for a walk.

We might go camping this weekend. I am excited and worried at the same time. I think it will go well. If it doesn't, we'll get over it. It takes so long to get back on track after a bad experience.

For those that need reminding...

Buy a blizzard at Dairy Queen on August 7th. Dairy Queen donates to the Children's Miracle Network for every blizzard purchased on that day. So eat up. I never met a blizzard I didn't like.
