Fall 2009 Pics

Halloween 2009

Last Thursday we had the privilege of attending Methodist Healthcare's 2009 Living Awards dinner/ceremony where they honored my 98 year old great-grandmother (aka "Bubba") for her 6000+ hours/ 30+ years of volunteer work at Methodist Hospital downtown. It was a very special night. We all dressed up, Dylan looked so handsome in his 3pc suit and Bubba looked beautiful in her evening gown. I was so proud to tell everyone I met who I was there to see (to be able to claim such an inspiring, amazing, wonderful person as my great grandmother leaves me feeling very blessed indeed). Before she was given her award, they played a video showcasing Bubba's work at the hospital. It was so well done and Chris and I were very touched to see a picture of Bubba holding Cedie at LeBonheur Hospital in the video. To know Cedie was part of the night as well made it even more special. Dylan got to help escort Bubba to the stage. He was so excited, especially when he got to hold her big award (he later tells me it was very heavy). All I had was my camera with me (not a video camera) but I did my best to record her acceptance speech. The audio part isn't great but it is very funny to watch Dylan as he inches closer and closer to Bubba and then to the edge of the stage while showing off the award during her speech.

Below is a link to the montage I made of the pictures we took and the video I tried to make.

Meet Mr. Bo-Jangles, our new Chorkie!

We got Bojangles on March 12th. He is a Chorkie- his dad is a Yorkie and his mom a Chihuahua. We named him Bojangles because it looks like he is dancing when he walks :-) He was only 2.8lbs at his 1st appt. At his last appt (4/23/09), he was up to 5.4lbs! They don't expect him to get much bigger :-) Dottie loves him and has took right to the roll as his new momma. He loves playing with Chris and Dylan but seems most attached to me!

Baseball

Dylan is playing baseball for the Cardinals team this year! He has a great coach and his team looks strong! We have a long season ahead of us and we started it with a win! Go Dylan! Play Ball!

Grandma Linnie's Funeral

Today we attended both Aunt Bonnie's and Grandma Linnie's funerals. All of Chris' family was there, even the ones from Florida and from Las Vegas. Dylan attended the funerals as well and he amazed me with how well behaved and "grown-up like" he was. I know his great-grandma Linnie was proud of him.
