Elizabeth & Brendan

This is where we are going in November.  We hope to book the tickets tonight.

Where are we going?

Another Boston Globe article here – different perspective but still an interesting read.

And yes – Brendan is a great purse holder and can apply a cool wash cloth to a hot face like nobody’s business.

We are off to the game and it is “BC Beat Cancer” day in honor of Mark Herzlich.

Eli is ready for the game!

When we met with Dr. Tabesh on September 11, Brendan began to ask questions about the tamoxifen.  Dr. Tabesh remarked that hopefully we can discuss everything and save a trip to the office in a few weeks.  So we started asking questions and some more thoughtful than others.  Honestly, Brendan had more questions and better quality questions.  I had 2:  Do I have to take the pills at the same time each day?  What happens when I forget to take one?

These questions stem from my actions while recovering from surgery.  I had my “10 o’clock” pills with my aspirin, antiobiotics, colace, and senna.  I had to take these twice a day at 10 o’clock.  Brendan reminded me to take them when he was home.  However, when I was supposed to remember myself there were some issues.  Many times I took the “10 o’clocks” at noon or after Brendan asked “Did you take your ’10 o’clocks?’”  It is an issue I know.  We are working on a reminder system.

This is what I do when I am bored and it is raining out.  I compiled all the search terms and ran the frequency.  Then created the chart below.

Brendan pointed me to this article.

I don’t like pink and have a similar view to that of Kramer’s on the all the various ribbon things.

First Eli had alligator.  Then Eli went to the Mekler’s/Hallawell’s and come home with Pig.  Alligator was still his favorite – for awhile.  Now it is all about Pig.  The only problem is is that Pig is big and Eli drips over Pig, drops Pig, but his love still burns.

Eli holding on to Pig for dead life.

Pig is down!  Repeat!  Pig is down!

Eli going in to save Pig and to start the cycle all over again.

The latest is that Eli wants to play with Pig outside.  Now if I say “outside”, Eli has started to run, get Pig and run to the back door.  Here he is waiting with Pig to be let out.

Some pictures of Eli since today is his birthday.

Sleeping angel.

Here we tucked him.  A minute later he was done with it.

Eli likes to attack.  And how he attacks is he sits on you and licks you until you give in.  And most times he actually just keeps on licking.  I tried to capture the attack on camera but the shiny silver camera proved to be enough to thwart all attack plans.

ELI’S!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, this is the date on his paperwork. They estimated he was born in October and defaulted to the first. So he is officially 1.

Happy birthday Eli!
