Okay, I'm gonna skip all the 'bad blogger' self-chastising (it's getting old, no?). (But seriously, over a month? Yikes!)
Been a bunch of stuff going on the past few weeks, so now it's time to pop my head up. Monkey's got just one day left of first-year pre-school, and they had an over-the top but really cute in-class graduation this past Monday. Aside from putting on a 'play' of The Very Hungry Caterpillar, performing a class song, and showing a slideshow of the class throughout the year, they each got diplomas (not making this up!), and awesome goodie bags. In it, each kid got a personalized handmade photo album, made of construction paper, laminated, with cut-out decorations, containing about 50 photos just of his/herself throughout the year. Also, a dvd of the slideshow, a class T-Shirt, and a Dr. Suess jigsaw puzzle - 48 piece, no less. How's THAT for a teaching staff that rocks??
Meanwhile, while that was going on, Cassie our beagle was in surgery for a - this is kind of icky - strange growth in her nose. A biopsy several weeks ago came back clear, but it was getting much bigger and making her clearly uncomfortable, with lots of sneezing and snorting. No vet likes putting an elderly dog under for surgery, but we decided to go for it, and it went fine. She's still not all clear, since they didn't want to get too invasive, but seems way better than she was.

What else? Oh, yes, last week we had my sister-in-law and niece here to visit for a few days, and the Monkey and her cousin had a blast. One of the highlights was an outing to Victoria Gardens, the makeshift amusement park on Wollman Rink in Central Park. Way fun for the kids, and a James Taylor sighting for us moms. And after they left? A panicky call from my friend Donna on her way to the ER - where I met her as she awaited an emergency appendectomy that same night.

Congrats to the Graduate and her mom!!
Was holding my breathe reading about Cassie. She is now the oldest doggie in the family. Jaime passed away on 6/22. He was 17 1/2. So very glad her surgury went well.
Oh nooo, I'm so sorry about Jaime. I heard he wasn't doing well. 17 1/2, he sure had a long life, and thanks to you, a very good, happy one with lots of love. ((Big hug))
