Papa Update
Papa did really well with his cardiac cath. I still am absolutely amazed that a doctor can stick a camera in your leg and go all the way to your heart and take a look-see, and you can be awake for the whole thing. Mind-boggling.

Prayers for Papa
Papa is having a cardiac cath done this morning, you know, stents and the like. I can’t type too much about it because typing about it makes me think about it which makes me cry.

Question of the Day
I donated blood at an American Red Cross drive up at church last night, and M and Zo walked up with me. We were hoping she’d get to see the process, but they were running late so M took Zo home while I waited. Before they left, though, the three of us sat together and just observed our surroundings, which included the little old KC guy who coordinated the drive. He was cute and ran to and fro doing various things. Zoe watched him intently, and then turned to me and asked, very seriously, “Do you think his toenails are painted?”

PicasZo
Zoe’s beautiful big girl bed comes with colorful big girl sheets and a quilt. She picked out a fantastic pattern that suits her personality perfectly. It’s bold, bright, colorful and a lot of fun. After we made up her new big girl bed, I realized that the pastel pink and green princess blanket that hung so sweetly over her crib now clashed horribly. Oh. Crap.

Zoe having fun at the Fun Fair
Zoe’s school and Parents as Teachers program hosted a Family Fun Fair this morning and we went. She got to draw with sidewalk chalk, eat a popsicle-thingy, swing, visit with our PAT parent educator, make a blowfish out of a paper lunch sack, get her helmet checked for size (Children’s Hospital – you rock!), rock on the rockers, climb on the climbers, and bounce in the bouncehouse. She had a blast, as did her mommy, popping off a gajillion photos in about 90 minutes. I heart digital.

Blame it on Perseid
I’m a bad neighbor. I freely admit it, and I don’t apologize for it. There it is.
