• In response to Julies comment…memories are due in one month.  The 15th of November is what I said, I believe.  If you don’t get them to me by then, you are out of the family.  Kidding.  It would be nice for me to have them by then though, so I have time to do something nice with them.  Otherwise, you get what you get. 

  
  

  It looks as though we will be up at the cabin this weekend.  One last hurrah before it takes snowmobiles to access it.  It is nearly complete and the whole Anderson Clan will be there minus Holly.  It will be a short trip, with work in between and a long drive at both ends, but we have Harry Potter #1 & #2 to make it fly. 

  
  

  Serra~V~ had a busy day today.  First we did Halloween pictures with her two costumes.  The monkey is a riot. The little water sprite outfit was originally scheduled as just a 6th month picture since before birth, but it falls on Halloween so she has two costumes, I guess.  They are very cute and will be available for viewing on the 30th of this month. 

  
  

  After this we went to the doctor for the 6 month check-up.  Whoa Girl!  She grew 4 inches since her last visit 2 months ago, and added 2 1/2 pounds.  She tips the scales at a whopping 19lbs 8oz and is now 28 inches in length.  She is now off the charts in both categories.  My back aches at the end of the day for a good reason.  I must say though that with her being able to sit up now, she enjoys playing by herself for longer stretches.  The other part of Serra~V~’s day was not so  great.  Part of the visit was shots and she was not pleased with that.  It breaks my heart to hear her cry like that because I know she is hurt.  I think it hurts her feelings too, that I would let someone do that to her while I hold her hands.  Very sad.

  
  

  Serra~V~’s favorite activity of late is the jumper.  SHE LOVES IT!  Brian saw her in it for the first time last night and couldn’t stop laughing.  In fact, I haven’t heard him laugh like that in a long time.  It got V all excited even more and she started jumping even higher and harder while she giggled along with him.  It was quite a sight.
