A Very Merry Christmas

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! As for our household, this was Davin's first, and the thing he loved the most was taste testing the wrapping paper as he unwrapped gifts! He also got a very special visit from Santa!

Half Anniversary

9 years ago today, I received a call from Kiley, who told me that she had spoken to Thomas Dupont at the Pepsi Christmas party that evening and decided that he and I should meet. I agreed, and later that night I drove into town to find Kiley and this "Thomas" at the rest stop (classy sounding, I know, but that was actually a common place for us to get the crew together before carrying out our plans for the night). I remember thinking "wow, this guy's pretty cute," as Thomas and I climbed into the car to cruise Main. We talked quite a bit that night, and found out that we actually had a lot in common, and, yes, I did get a kiss! After that, I was hoping and praying that he would call me! He did, and we've been together ever since. We were married exactly 1 1/2 years later on June 8th, and so we've always called this our Half Anniversary. Thomas has told me several times that when he went home the night we met, he told his brother "That's a girl I could marry." Famous last words...

Santa Claus

Yesterday we took Davin to Park Mall in Tucson to meet Santa Clause for the first time. He did not want to pay attention to Santa or the photographer, he kept looking around in fascination at all the colors surrounding him! We also saw the upper extremity specialist for the first time yesterday, and we will see him again in 6 months. For now, he wants to monitor his growth and development, and will probably do surgery on his hand before he is 2 years old.
