The Flying Weedeater

My dad took me flying in his ultralight Sunday afternoon. It is so little that we dubbed it, "The Weedeater."
This is the tree Dad hit as he was trying to cross the road. Cabbagehead and Yardboy got the plane wing away from the tree and we were on our way.

Update August, 2007: Dad hit the tree two more times. He decided to cut the tree down.

Oh my! How was it? Were you scared? Was it fun? Are you all crazy?!!!!!

Just kidding. It does seem like it would be fun--not terribly safe, but lots of fun! Great photos!

You are one brave chick! Seeing that brought back memories. My son's father had one and I helped him assemble it once, but would NOT go up in it!

Scared? Yes, but okay.
Fun? You bet!
Crazy? Most definitely!

Celebrating Recovery on New Year's Eve

These are the cakes I made for our Celebrate Recovery New Year's Eve Party. I couldn't find my camera, so I took these pics with my phone. This one was a butter cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate buttercream frosting. Mmmmm . Butter is goooood . This one is chocolate with chocolate ganache filling. I had to cover it with vanilla buttercream because it was so chocolaty ! The friends, food, music, and dancing were great. We had a blast ringing in the new year!

Injections Begin

Image
Tercicare sent us one month's worth of Increlex , bandages, syringes, alcohol pads, a sharps container, and a travel kit. It was all FREE! We watched a video on the medication administration as a family. Yardboy practiced giving injectionx to an orange before giving an actual shot to Little Man. The kids gave their dolls shots with needle less syringes. Then, they pretended to give shots to each other. Smiley is sill smiling. We have been giving the injections to Little Man twice daily since Sunday evening. In spite of the preparations we made, he runs and screams when it is time to get the shot. However, he stops crying the instant the needle is withdrawn. He always asks for a bandage (although it really isn't necessary). It seems that the dread of the shot is worse than the shot itself. Tater was very worried about her little brother at first. She screamed and ran out of the room when we gave Little Man his first shot. Now she isn't afraid and had become quite the expe
