Well folks, tomorrow morning is the big day. Dad is going into the hospital for what is known in the medical field as a epigastric hernia repair. Yep, that's right. Dad has a hernia. About one month ago dad said to me "Here, feel this. I have a small lump in my stomach." I felt it but was not quite sure what to make of it. At first I thought it might have been a tumor. Then dad said that when he laid down the lump would go away. Then when he would stand up, the lump would come back. Then I knew it was a hernia and told him to make an appointment with the doc. Sure enough I was right. So for a whole month I told him not to pick Mimi up and carry her around as she is all of 41 pounds now and solid as a rock. Didn't want to make it any worse than it is.
I am so thankful that I have such wonderful friends in the neighborhood. Since we have to leave the house around 5 in the morning, I asked Keri if it would be alright if she took care of Mimi all day tomorrow. She said that it would be fine. Blake was in 7th heaven. So therefore Mimi went to play at his house for a little while after school then came home to bathe and eat dinner before going back over to Blake's house for the sleep over. Then dad and I walked her over to Keri's house. There is one slight problem though. Bailey loves to play with Mimi too and I think that Blake feels a tinge of jealousy because the girls will huddle together reading a book while putting Blake out. I'm sure he'll live though.
We should be home by the evening.

SEE THE RESEMBLENCE???
Kinda scary ain't it? This Halloween in particular Mimi has been afraid of her own shadow so to speak. She refuses to go upstairs by herself at night. For a while she would come home with stories about how Rachel says that Lake Wilderness is haunted or how Noah has a ghost in his bathroom and the water continues to run. Then one day last week after dropping her off at school, I took this picture of the front of our house totally forgeting that Mimi has a stuffed dog with the same likness.
JOB WELL DONE
Everyone in my family knows that I am not the most gracful person around. This is the bruise that I sustained last week while doing gardening work in our backyard. When I set out to do something, I do it right.
