The end is in sight we hope.

I am glad Zadie has set the date for his surgery. Walking is getting harder for him everyday. He needs help to get anywhere now.



Miss Miri is a big help with him. She wants to help him walk. She doesn't always understand that "Zzzzzz" needs help from Daddy or Uncle Naaaaaaaa.

But she is more than willing to get anything for him. And, looks for him everyday at her house.
She is his helper.



They play with "baby" and read stories too.

The Dude surprised Mommy today. He was drinking from his sippy cup and swallowed the water. ( it might have helped that Buddie tickled under his chin so he would swallow)

But he did it!



He is climbing up on everything. He even climbed up an entire flight of stairs by himself.



He is such a happy boy! I can't help but smile when these two are around.

I know he doesn't read this blog, but Happy Birthday Big Brother!!!!!

Last night we had a really great Shabbot. Dinner was great, everyone made something. We laughed and talk well past the little one's bed time. (Since they were on a sugar high they were still going strong.)



After the last few weeks, laughing felt really good.

We all had a very good time!



What our little Darlings are eating is Baked Alaska. Yes, it got messy.



Miss Miri loves clomping around in Auntie Mmmmm's boots. Those stripy things are Mommy's socks.



The Dude is trying so very hard to drink from a "sippy" cup. He just hasn't figured out that he needs to swallow. Everything ends up on his shirt.

I guess it's been a couple of days since I last posted.
Zadie got the cortisone shot, it doesn't seem to be helping.
I guess I was hoping for a miracle.

No such luck!

A quiet day here at Bubbie's House.
We are letting Zadie rest up for his shot tomorrow.
Uncle Nahhhhh found the walker, that helps.
It's just been a quiet day.



This pic just says it all. The Dude hanging out enjoying EVERYTHING!!!!

Zadie went to the Dr. He needs Cortisone shots for now. We will have to see about surgery later. Everyone is much happier.




Zadie has a new hair cut, thanks to Auntie Mmmmmmmmmm.
And all those little chores that Zadie hasn't been able to do were done today
by Uncle Nahhhhhhhhhh. A big shout out THANK YOU to both of them.

Let me not forget to thank the Mommy and Daddy too. They have been very very helpful while Zadie has been laid up.



Our only concern now is that Grandma and Uncle Nahhhhhhh's Mom (Aunt K) are friends now.
This could mean trouble. What are they up to???????

Does the plot thicken?

I am walking 60 miles to raise money for the Susan G. Komen foundation.
I am going to help fight Breast Cancer any way I can.Here is a link to my fund raising page.

Help me in this fight by making a donation. My goal is to raise $5,500. That is $100 for every year of my life.

Please ask your friends, neighbors, family, co- workers or anyone you can think of.
We can end Breast Cancer in my lifetime if we work together.

I got to play with my two cuties today.
They babysat Zadie.

Did you know that finger painting Mommy's floor
with milk is fun? Miss Miri and The Dude
sure thought so until Mommy caught them.



But with great smiles like these even Mommy can't stay mad for long.



Zadie goes to the Dr. tomorrow. Maybe we can finally find out what is wrong.

Maybe if he gets to play with these two some more he won't be quite so depressed about not being able to walk.
