The Short & Sweet

Bobby: As always things seem to go at a whirl wind speed here even if we are trying to lay low. Here is the run down of what's been happening here:

-Mommy & Trixie are both having health issues. Ironically mommy's stuff is not MS related this time. She has been having some follow up stuff for the gyn issues addressed at the ER visit. Still no answers. Our mommy has also had to have 3 biopsies done. We will have the results in a week. Trixie's issues still remain a mystery. She pukes periodically but it is slowing down. She still has issues with diarrhea. All of her tests have been negative so like I said we are on a mystery voyage. My parents are going to try changing the dog food in case that is some how part of the issue. Ironically through it all Trixie has remained a very spunky girl

-Mommy will officially be unemployed as of 11/1. She has also submitted an application for SSDI as her doctors have been pushing her to take this path. Mommy is very sad to be doing all of this but the most important thing is to try to get mommy's health stable before we add back all of the physical stress that is complicating matters

-My buddy, Gwen, has been going through some health issues & we have been trying to support our good friends, the Taylors, any way we can. It makes me sad to know that one of my friends is sick & having get so many tests done. I just want her to feel all better so I can go play with her & Zach again

-Like many in the PA/MD/WVA/VA area we are experiencing a bug epidemic. Ok maybe it isn't an official epidemic but we are being over run by swarms of stink bugs. I hate these creepy things & boy do they small. Trixie is obsessed with killing bugs just like Sparky was. Unfortunately killing stink bugs is not cool. Not only does it smell horribly but that smell attracts more of these creepy things but in larger numbers. Fort Meade also has a major issue with flies. They are every where in eerily large groups as well. The icing on the cake is the ant infestation we have acquired over night. It was so bad that mommy went through a whole gallon of bleach in just half of the kitchen. We have pest control coming first thin in the morning. Thankfully all of the bleach & Windex has slowed them down some. Well that & daddy repeatedly steaming the gargantuan hordes that keep filling our dishwasher. I'm getting the willies just talking about it

-I am now speaking in sentences of 4-6 words & I am able to carry on a conversation. On top of that I am able to identify several letters of the alphabet as well as a few colors. I have been able to draw swirly circles as well as lines. Plus I create my own little play story lines & act them out. Ok I don't really write them first but you would be amazed if you just sat back & watched all of the wild things I make happen with my toys on the fly. Actually my imagination makes it so I don't even need my own toys. I am able to come up with all kinds of cool way to make even household stuff toddler fun
