Got a note from Jan but am sending this part to everyone because I am now

working two jobs to get out of the bind that Mervyn left me in. Soon to be

over!!! The truck went up for sale today, the electrician is coming this

weekend and I may have water running in the kitchen by Christmas. For those

of you who don't know, we've been cooking out of a closet... camping in our

own home... we've come up with some really creative recipes!!! Anywho...

here is the general news...

HI Jan,

How wonderful of you to be thinking of me. Hannah has had three

milestones in one week. She took her first step, drank from a straw and

picked her nose. Yes, they all went in the baby book!! lol

For me each had it's place in herstory. Firstly, the step. She's

been standing up in the middle of the room for about 6 weeks but doesn't want

to move. Went for a bottle... (food = motivation... see a connection there??)

The straw, she mimicked me!! That was VERY thrilling and the look on

her face when she got liquid was priceless. Needless to say, another skill

she wants to practice....

The nose- she isolated a finger!!! The OT has been trying to do this

for ages. We never guessed that the first place it would go would be her

nose!!! LOL

Working nights at the bank and weekend nights at Kmart... one

funny...(Yes, Tim, even you will find humor in this irony...)

Kmart... manager messing with my schedule... wanted me to work 7 am

after getting home at 1 am from the bank.... was ready to quit. Brought up a

letter to quit. Decided to use my employee discount one final time. Picked

up my check to spend and the service desk said loudly... " CONNIE FOX...

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! YOU ARE SUPER KMARTS SUPER VALUED EMPLOYEE OF THE

MONTH!!!

Needless to say, I'll be there thru Christmas... sigh.

That's about all. Hannah's health has been outstanding since the surgery.

Two small colds and the intestinal bug that everyone else has had. The other

kids are adjusting to the added responsiblity of being home for short periods

alone.

The fire department woke me up on Saturday... discovered the panic

buttons for FIRE. At least we know it works.

Miss you guys... sorry I am such a lurker lately. Just really busy.
