Weird Blogspot Issue

Hmm. If I upload the photo in small, it works. In medium or large, it never comes back. Weird. Anyway, this is what I could not show in yesterday's post. I think Preacher Bro took the original.

Can I Join Your Team?

Ladies and gentlemen, I am officially joining the team of those who do NOT have cancer. A blood test has confirmed that all the cancer was removed. I need to be tested every three months for the next year, but it means no radiation for now. YEAH!

Hmm, I've been trying to upload a photo, but I keep getting an error. So, maybe later.

Studies in Orange

Yeah, it's been too long since I posted. I have no one to blame except...well, anyone but me. I just called this post Studies in Orange because we are in the season of orange and black. So, since pumpkins are prevalent in both photos....


Kathie and Alison went to Disneyland without me earlier this month. Can you believe it? Well, in fairness, I couldn't travel yet when they went. Here is part of the entry display that Disney puts up each year around Halloween. Purty, huh?



Once they got back, we joined Kyle, Lyndsay and Bella and some of her family and friends at Schnepf Farms. Here is a photo of the happy family. I caught this shot before Isabella got tired of posing there. I also got a picture of her Halloween costume, but that will wait until closer to Halloween.

Seasonal Shifts

Since we live in PHX, you know I am not talking about the weather. The good thing there is that we should not be getting up to 100 any more this year, but 98 is forecast for Thursday.

No, I am not thinking to go work at Wal*Mart for the holidays, either. Of course, that may become an option later this month. Keep the job search in your prayers.

The title of this post actually refers to two of Isabella's shirts.


Here is a lovely skull and crossbone shirt. Notice that Daddy is acting as her catwalk. Well, I guess she has to start somewhere.


And here a scary spider shirt. Ooo. I see that Nana is just out of the shot feeding her either a popsicle or a Slim Jim. She seems to pose better when we feed her.

Too Long + Bella Sighting

It has been over a week since I last posted. True, I had little to say. However, that has never stopped me before, right? So, let's get to some updates and then some photos.

I am doing better each day, with the normal caveats of healing after major surgery. In fact, last night served as a reminder of that. We bought (and I loaded into the car) 4 cases of 24 bottles of water. I was OK putting them in the cart, and then OK loading 2 into the car. The last 2 caused some pain in my abdomen. Kathie let me know I should not have done that. She's right, but I was feeling OK until then. Anyway, I've got to start trying things sometime.

I plan to restart my job search by next week. I am ertainly not at 100%, as I already noted. However, we really need to get me working and some money flowing. Please continue to pray about the right position for me. And Jay M, I am not thinking of Pizza Hut, at least not at first.

OK, a photo before we continue.



Check out those fine sunglasses. No autographs, please. This was taken some time in the past 2 weeks, so she is around 18 months old.

Well, I heard that the folks are back from their UK trip. We'll need to stay on them until they give us a blogger update with photos.

In iTunes, I am at 4551 songs, 10.8 days, 39.31 GB. I'd better get to listening if I am going to hear them all, huh?



Here is Bella giving us a tour of her room. She is quite proud of her new bed (they need the crib for Kendall).
