Dear Jyzelle,
It has been a very long time since I last did an update. We’ll
see what kind of quick recap I can get done.
After your stay in the hospital and the 3 weeks of
antibiotics going to the hospital every day, there weren’t any more “exciting”
adventures in regards to your health.
I love Halloween, and was excited to do something fun for
your first Halloween. Your last “first” holiday! I decided to go with Link and
his fairy Navi for us. I originally wanted your dad to be Link and I’d be Zelda
or something, but it ended up not working out that way so I just dressed up as
Link and you were, of course, still Navi.
We went trick-or-treating with Aunt Jill, Aunt Nicole,
cousins Savanna and cousin Kelson. You weren’t too interested in any of the
festivities or going door to door and got wore out pretty quickly.
After Halloween I was excited because that meant 2 days
until your birthday! I had been planning for a while, at least, knew I wanted
the theme “Under the Sea” because The Little Mermaid DVD came out beginning of
October. I had been buying packs of balls to use in your swimming pool, since
of course, November is a little cold to do an actual water filled pool!
I made you a cake, with blue frosting, and put Ariel and
Eric on it from the Princess Barn Little People. We had blue and white and
greenish-blue balloons and same for the streamers. We made taco dip, had some
salami and cheese cut up to put on crackers, and some rice krispies for those
that couldn’t eat Gluten.
You had quite a few people come see you for your first
birthday! You had Grammy and Papa Parrish, Grammi and Grumpy Siepert, Aunt
Nicole, Jill, Kimberly, Tessa and Uncles Richard, Jared, and Chris. Heather and
Logan came, as well as Kim and Jake and Flynn Overall. Our neighbors, the Soren’s,
Jaron, Lindsey, Lillian, Connor and McKenzie came as well. All of your cousins
were there too! It was a good fun full house. You got spoiled J
There you are with most of your presents J
I had more pictures of you on your birthday, but they’re on
my camera and I seemed to have lost the cord that hooks the camera to the
computer. L
Next up will be the holidays. Let’s see if I get it posted
in less than 6 months from today. Haha J
