Tahoe Monkey Bar Mishap

Since Mark and Carrie are on the road, in pursuit of a new home and a new life in Texas and won't have access to a computer for a little while, I'm posting on their behalf.

Our little Monkey Aurora proved she was more human than monkey while playing with Spencer on the monkey bars in Tahoe. She suffered a "little" fall that left her arm a little bent out of shape- literally! Poor Carrie had to navigate through the hospital system in an unfamiliar state because Aurora's arm required surgical correction that night. As luck would have it, Mark's flight got him there in time to make it for her surgery so Carrie and Aurora didn't have to go it alone- and Mark being more comfortable in the hospital setting, could ask the necessary questions.

Aurora had surgery late Thursday night and was released so Mark and Carrie could make it back to California in time to meet the company that was delivering their moving truck.

Aurora was up and playing and "back to normal" in no time, and everyone got a turn signing her "cast"... everyone except me that is!

For more details on the story, feel free to contact Mark and Carrie.

Rice Cereal Anyone???


Today was Charlie's 6 month appointment and the doctor finally gave us the OK to feed her solids. Mackenzie and I had fun shopping for baby food (including Prunes which the Dr. Yin recommended I feed her next, after she tolerates the Rice Cereal for a week).

She had her first real feeding this afternoon and this was how it all went down.

Doesnt she make Rice Cereal look so YUMMY???
