Happy birthday to a wonderful talented neice. We love you. Big Sister loves to come and stay at your house and play with you.
We think that you are so talented. You dance, you play softball, basketball and volleyball... and of course you can text unlike no other (unless you are at the dinner table)
Thanks for being so cute.

tamale day



After months of begging Ellie to teach us how to make homemade tamales.... she finally gave in.

We - Delores, Andrea, Michelle, Liz, myself & Ellie brought everything in our kitchen and met at 10 am and worked until 8 pm for 5 dozen tamales. We cooked meat, we made rue, we mixed masa, we mixed masa, and we were still mixing our masa.... especially Delores, and then we finally rolled our tamales. I will say that the first ones were quite thin & nice... towards the end the tamales became bigger and bigger and had more meat in them. I like to think of them as a big girl tamale.
It was a lot of work, but well worth it. We had a ton of fun & will be eating tamales for quite a while.

Thanks Ellie!!!!

Happy RT week


Happy RT week to all my fellow rad techs!!! We are having our own pity party at work, but after a week of planning & the radiologists chipping in (and we only had to ask once) we had a wonderful Cafe Rio lunch!

here is the story.... I am getting ready to bathe Little Sister and I notice these 3 little "blisters" on the side of her tummy & one dot on her cheek. - the night before Halloween.
Therefore instead of going to work and showing off our cute halloween outfits, we went to the doctor - to get the diagnosis of CHICKEN POX!!!!!! It is was so funny they brought an intern in to see them since he had never seen the chicken pox, and then asked us if "we could leave out the side door!!"
Remember the olden days when everyone got chicken pox!! Now days they immunize at 12 months and then at kindergarten
This weekend has been hard for our entire house - starting with the mom & dad!! Little Sister has had a fever and of course feels horrible all night long!! I think that we are finally feeling better.... now for the recovery period!!
