We soon realize that Jon deserves Ella and more. Apparently to pacify the time at the hospital with Nana he has taught poor little good boy Nick to give the Italian Salute. While Nick is Italian and Ella may not behave Jon it doesn't give you the right to corrupt poor little innocent kids!!!
Gram returned to her Doctor for a recheck. He says to her: "you are looking good" and she says "so are you". He said she is where she should be as far as progressing. He said this is a long process especially given her age. She is starting to move more and can now put light weight on the foot to start walking. With the meds, sleep and not being home she has her moments but we are thankful for the good ones. I know Jon and I had fun riding the BUS up to the Doctor's office but Jon refused to sing the Wheels on the Bus for Nana. Can you imagine? Also when Jon was playing with the x-ray light in the exam room she told him that it wouldn't show much in his head. This morning she told me Rose forced her to eat so much the night before that she was still full and then said she would make a good nurse. When the food doesn't look good we send Jeff to seek out something better. When she needs a little more fight to continue we leave her and Mom alone as Dad keeps her in candy and cat snacks!!! Sometimes even the most stressful and exhausting moments can be made fun with family members around. God bless us all!It seems while Anthony has been watching the Sens his son has been watching figure skating. He almost has his spins down. Now all he needs is a pair of figure skates. I can see it now Nicky Netto does the Quad!!!
I caught Julia singing and thought it was cute. Plug the ears and let us know if she sings like her Dad or Mom!!!!
Nana fell and broke a hip and I guess we have been lucky it never happened before. She is doing fairly well but has her good minutes and bad minutes. You never know what state of mind she will be in but for her age she is amazing. Hopefully all the drugs will work their way out of her system. She kids with nurses and pokes fun with them. Dr. Peter Van I think is still in shock over her comments before surgery when he was advising her of the risk that included death. She looked at him and responded .... "Well I only have to do that once!" After he managed to close his chin he said: "well I guess you are right about that". Then she dismissed him and told us she didn't think he was old enough to be practicing. Today when they changed the wound they told her that her Doctor signed her hip where he operated and she said well I better not wash it off. I guess age has no limits when it comes to cute men! Right Jill??? Maybe Nana will let you see his signature as for me I will pass after being scared for life watching those a little older than me walk up and down the hall ..... can't they put Velcro on those hospital gowns????
I drove by on my way to Dad's the other day and couldn't resist this photo. The ducks seem to enjoy a winter swim but the stream not frozen over I guess we can't complain!
Do you recognize these bad boyz?
How about without the poppy?
How about without the shades?
Congratulations go out to Jonna as she accepted a position at Sandy Creek School. This new little Comet must have known at Nana's party or was dressing in school colors for good luck. Was it her softball experience that helped her land the job or all those friends we know from this area which even includes some good ole north side people??? Whatever it was we are grateful and they are lucky to have such a wonderful person to add to their staff!!! Good luck Jonna.
So, I was talking to Nana this morning and she was telling me the Singing Birthday Bear that we got her was the best present she ever got. She can now have the bear sing her Happy Birthday each and every day. The candles light up and he is nice and soft. She loves him and her fur lined shoes from Mom. She didn't mention anything else. I thought you guys out there in Blog Land might want to know.
Jayda is enjoying her Christmas I hope everyone is as well. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and will surely enjoy today. Nana was pretty good this morning when we took her gifts down and spent some time. Hope to see most of you this afternoon. Jayda may go visit her cousins for a "play day" as Uncle Jared is the best. If she is good it may be an overnight-er!!! Oh the joys of being a puppy on Christmas Day!!!! Merry merry Ruffmas from Jayda, Jay and Jo Ann.
We then put on the pj's and headed for the Lights on the Lake. As soon as we hit the lights the three boys in the back of my car and one in the middle wanted as close to the front as possible so with 2 on my lap and one on Big papa's and the other in the middle with his head out the moon roof we proceeded to the entrance. We were greeted by Santa, Rudolph and a Panda. Big papa asked Myah if he wanted the window down to see the Panda and with both hands holding the window up said no Papa no Papa. The boys seemed to let the Santa know he was fake!!! Myah didn't think so as he waved. The girls car and the adult car was equally pleased. We all enjoyed ourselves and our company. It is nice to take a few minutes to enjoy the holiday with family.
