Recovery

NO, she doesn't have a tic, this is what arabella does when you ask her to smile. She looks like a midget drag Popeye.

Arabella is feeling better after her bout of pneumonia. She lost 2 pounds while she was sick (which is about 7% of her body weight, in one week. If I lost 7% of my body weight that would be ... 12 pounds in one week!). The hard part for both of us was that she missed 3 days (1.5 weeks) of pre-school.

So our xmas cards are late, since I wanted to send pics of her at the state museum, just as we've done since she was 1 year old, but she wasn't well enough to go. Even had I given up on that idea, I couldn't go out and buy cards because I couldn't go anywhere. At all. But I made some nice progress on the sweater for Michael, I have the front done, and the back has about 2 inches more to go. I have done all the xmas shopping (and now just have xmas craft project finishing to do), and now we just have to get ready for the main event.
