Mommy's Okay!

Here's a photo Daddy took of Madison watching a movie in the office. We've got a few options for her to watch different things, but this time, our friend Daniel chose to join her. They both look pretty comfortable!

This morning, Mommy visited the hospital with Daddy for a special procedure. God is good: we've got good news. Although the radiation therapy from a few years ago did a number on her insides, at least there's no reoccurrence of anything nasty. Mommy is healthy!

But it was a long night for her, and an early morning too. The end result is a day of well-deserved rest. Madison spent much of the day playing with Nana and Ba-Ba, and nobody minded!

Daddy spent the day at work, and even delivered the message tonight. We're still in the midst of "Kung Pow," and the message was about the virtue of honor. It went pretty well, but I couldn't wait to get home to Mommy to make sure all was well: it was. Today was a good day.

MADISON'S BOOK CLUB

Madison has been really into this book lately. Do not ask me why. We found this one last year and thought it was pretty fun - the entire book is written in a different language! I'm not saying it isn't English: The book is written with a whole lot of snowboarding lingo, so much that there is even a glossary in the back. Looking at the pictures gives you enough of a clue as to the story, and the snowboarding terms are fun to learn if you don't recognize them. It doesn't matter so much to Madison either way - she enjoys the book very much.

It makes you wonder if she'll be into snowboarding in the near future. Perhaps she'll be the next Winter X Games star! You never know...!

Though Daddy likes to ski, the closest he's come to snowboarding is "SSX Tricky," which we were pretty addicted to "back in the day." There's a new game coming out with a release date in January, so maybe we can be playing together. And maybe Madison will be inspired to try it for real and become a real life Kaori Nishidake!
