Happy Birthday...sort of..
I know, her birth, a year. Birthday Right.
Well, I remember it as RFTW Day. "Ripped From The Womb".
Mommy does not like that, but essentially, when you have to take your baby away so early or death will occur, you kind of force the "Birth"Day. BUT, it has been one year!!
So let's not quibble over semantics. She is here. She is good.
She is almost 15 pounds. The average baby is 20 pounds at year one. We were close. But remember, adjusted age is 9 months, so if we are 20 by October, we should be right on.
Book News - Still writing.
Teeth news - Two teeth on upper. Looks like the eye teeth or Canine, I know weird right, but it could be the ones next to the front, or the Incisors. Don't know, won't know until some more come in.
Height news - about 30 something inches tall.
Walking news - Nope.
Sitting up news - Yes. She can sit up on her own. We have foam padding all over the living room to protect that big ol head. Sometimes the weight is too much and boink.
It has been a year. Instead of redoing all 900 pictures, I just began a new site from Year Two on. It won't be as extensive as Year one, but it will be prettier and smarter. I will eventually redo Year One, but it will happen slowly. I want to try to get the book out by Christmas.
Anyway, thank you everyone for all you have done. We made it through the toughest year of our life ever. We have some more hurdles to cross, but we will.
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We're afraid.”
“Come to the edge.”
“We can't. We will fall!”
“Come to the edge.”
And they came.
And he pushed them.
And they flew.
Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle.
The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours.

Jack, As Michelle and I sit here and read about Jonnas Journey, we remember how you always had away with words, people want to read what you write, have you ever thought about being a writer, maybe childrens books? We just wanted to let you know you have a Beautiful little girl. Take Care, Your old employees, Na, Cheryl & FeFe
