Cousin Lauren Cooks!

Hey y'all, here is a cute little vid from my sister Julie of her kids Harrison and Lauren, to interested parties who may have missed it. (Looks better if you keep your browser window small.)

Doctor's Visit

Quick note to let you know that Josephine is 36.5 inches tall (ie able to see tempting things at kitchen counter height) and 30 pounds, which are both 97% for height and weight. According to online calculators, Your girl will likely be 5 ft. 11 in. at age 18. Wowza, no need for heels!

Anyway the more salient issue is that at the doc's, Jojo got a flu shot, a TB test, and a blood sample withdrawn. So, three needles. I was expecting the worst, but she dispassionately watched the needle go in each time and never cried, never winced, never whelped, nothing. The nurse said she'd never seen such a great reaction in her thirty years of jabbing babies... such a tough kid!

Halloween 2008

Here are our halloween pictures (among a few others). First Josephine's school had a party and a parade through the neighborhood, then our co-op had a big festival. Too much sugar!
