April 2012


April 30th:Dad sneaks it in just under the wire for April...


And when the night is cloudy - There is still a light that shines on me - Shine on until tomorrow, let it be*


April 2006: I came home and started adjusting everyone to my needs and my schedule... power to the people!
April 2007: This was not one of my better months - I liked the people in the PICU, but I never really enjoyed my time there...
April 2008: After some early struggles, I was finally getting the hang of things...
April 2009: Really exploiting my cuteness now... could you get me something?  I'm really comfortable here on the couch (or on the floor, or in my chair...)
April 2010: Easter seemed like it was going to be fun, but then not so much... in the end, it just turned out to be exhausting...
April 2011: Daddy really doesn't know what to say, but I wasn't sad - I enjoyed every minute that I could...
This year we went with a new decorating technique - an egg spinner to make fancy eggs! We had a few nice weekends - Daddy took me to Harvey Clarke to work on my bike riding skills, but I wanted to play instead... Wait for it, and you can practically play along with me! Easter morning!  Yum!  Jelly beans!
Yum!  Hamster!  Just kidding... that's Sindy playing in one of my plastic eggs. I have become an expert bicyclist through (or in spite of) Daddy's "excellent" instruction... patience, Daddy, patience... Look at that beautiful sky!  I think people are too down on Oregan weather... "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with!"  If you immediately thought of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", good for you!
Just hanging out in my PJs with Sindy and Bebe... I think I would go further if they would let me actually get in the pool... Daddy didn't try to remove Sindy's natural eye color this time...  And he didn't try to erase my lovely self tattoos either! Out on a nature walk with Mommf and Daddy - that's right, that's Daddy behind the camera again...
And why is he dragging so far behind?  How will we ever get anywhere if I have to keep walking backwards to keep track of him? I also went to the zoo this month (I went to OMSI too, but that was with my class and no photographer...) and got to feed the birds! I thought Lorikeet Landing was awesome!  Mom just thought it was great that the birds didn't poop on her... Harry's tree is in full bloom this April.
We ended the month at the hamster races - looks like Sindy did pretty well doesn't it?  She did... in practice - for the actual race she decided not to run at all... Oh well... she made some new hamster friends!
