BAM - Update on The Fighter

The Fighter got great news last week....no cancer in the bone marrow! While normally this would be cause for a celebratory cartwheel, The Gardener is still recovering from the July 4th cartwheel. The Fighter is just that.......a FIGHTER!!! Love you J!

BAM - Guess who turned 1?

Long time, no post. Busy living our fabulous lives filled with ordinary advenures. Lots to post but of most importance, GUESS WHO HAD A BIRTHDAY? None other than that little guy who gets most of the attention on this blog, Birdman!!!!

Since Birdie doesn't eat real food yet (still has a feeding tube along with oral feeds), to celebrate his birthday, RoRo arranged to have her Dad (a minister) christen Birdie in their home. Much

to The Gardener's disappointment, this event was missed by TG&TG because of a trip to Phoenix booked over the summer many months prior to this being scheduled. A return the Monday before Thanksgiving created big issues in getting on an earlier flight. With all that being said, the pictures from the event are wonderful and here's one to share. Birdie is wearing the same outfit The Karate Kid wore when he was dedicated at church, love the tradition. The Gardener is very much looking forward to celebrating with Birdie, just as soon as this cold/sinus issue/whatever it is goes away.

IS THIS ONE CUTE MIRACLE OR WHAT?!

Mad Scientist Day

So, it was Mad Scientist Day at school. These photos are of TG&TG's Godsons that live in Florida. Love these kids! Love their very creative parents! These are the same kids that were "jumpin' the plank" in a previous post.

The Wild Child and The Pianist

The Gardener was going through old pics tonight and came across this photo from last year of TG&TG's favorite neighbor kids. Now, do they look cute or what?

The Fighter!

All positive thoughts, prayers and vibes are needed for TG&TG's dear friend The Fighter. After enjoying remission for a while now, some odd stuff is creeping up again and WE DON'T LIKE IT. Prayers, please!

The Kyleman goes to Homecoming...and get's a learner's permit!

It's official. TG&TG feeling a little...uh....(cough)...old.

BAM - The Good News and the Bad News

After being out of town for 7 days, today TG&TG were able to catch up with our favorite neighbors, The Wild Child and The Pianist. Here's a part of the catch-up conversation:

The Pianist: "Oh - and I have some good news that's also kind of bad news."
The Gardener (puts hand on The Pianist's shoulder): "What's going on?"
The Pianist: "I got my first zit yesterday. My Mom popped it. I had another one this morning." (Proceeds to show both spots on the face.)

THAT KID IS A RIOT!!!
