Caring Bridge

My mom suffered a stroke on Wednesday caused by an Arterivenous Malformation (AVM).  I have set up a site on Caring Bridge where you can keep up with her recovery and leave comments.  Jim and I are posting updates pretty regularly.  She (and we) appreciate knowing that you're thinking of her, praying for her, or whatever.

Joey-isms

Joey is three years eight months old and growing up much too fast.

We had some rough times (terrible twos, terrible threes), but Joey has become such a sweet, considerate little girl.  Most of the time, anyway!  She adores Charlotte and takes pride in being a good big sister; she will stop what she's doing to give Charlotte some loving when she wants some attention.  Joey is learning how to write her name and she drew her first self portrait a few weeks ago.

Here are some tidbits about my favorite three-year-old:

Interests: 
princesses, Shrek

Favorite Game:
dress-up

Favorite Color:
green

Favorite Number:
three (because she's three)

Favorite hangouts: 
Chick-fil-A, Barnes & Noble

Favorite books: 
Pinkalicious; Disney princess stories

Most-watched movie: 
Tangled

What she wishes for on a star:
a Princess Tiana doll
