Simon Says "My Poor Auntie Rama"

Today my Aunties Lauren and Rama and their friend Lindalisa went biking on some trails near their home in Atlanta. Aunt Lauren called MiMi to tell us there was a terrible accident. They were coming down a long hill and going pretty fast and suddenly Rama had to swerve and brake hard and she crashed to the ground. She had to go by ambulance to the hospital and she has broken her left arm in two places and dislocated her shoulder. MiMi says that is a major "OUCH"! After about 6 hours in the Emergency Room they went home, but poor Rama is going to be feeling sore and sad for a while. Please say a little prayer that this will heal quickly and poor Auntie Rama will be smiling like this again soon! Here's an update ... I think Rama is talking to MiMi in this picture. MiMi broke a bone and has dislocated her shoulder too, so they now speak the same language of boo-boos. We hope Aunt Rama gets some good news from the specialist today.

Simon Says "Bring on The Weekend"

Do the weeks seem to fly by for you too? MiMi and I had a great week ... we had a house full with Aunt Lauren visiting and that was nice. Now she's gone home to Atlanta and I'm home with Mommy and Daddy. We're usually off and running to do errands, see friends, take walks and just hang out. It gives MiMi a chance to rest up and not think about bottles or diapers for a few days. And MiMi put together a new "entertainment seat" for me on Friday and I heard her yelp when she pinched a finger or two, so she probably needs a rest! There's a new blog about a little boy Sammy and his Mommy that MiMi thinks you'll find more than entertaining ... so if you like that sort of thing, go to http://monkeymamablog.wordpress.com

Simon Says "My Great-Grandma Needs Some TLC"

MiMi has learned about the "good news / bad news" of my Great-Grandma's doctor's advice. She had to go meet a new doctor to learn more about her heart (for all of us that she loves, we know she has a BIG one to love so many of us!). The good news is that she liked him very much and he said he can make her feel so much better. The bad news is that it requires a stay overnight in the hospital and a surgical procedure. Even though her own son is a surgeon, going through that kind of thing is still scary. So, please say a prayer for my Great-Grandma and send her a dose of courage too. She should get a lot of special care for the next couple of weeks so that she can be feeling her best again real soon. We all love you grandma and for all of us you are "Great"!

Simon Says "I Like Being MiMi's Landscape Architect"

MiMi was away for the weekend and now that she's back, it's time to spend in the garden out back. Mommy shared some of her plants from our backyard ... the Bleeding Heart behind me came from my yard. I am thinking maybe some pansies would go nicely too. What do you think? We had a busy weekend ... seeing Oma and PopPop now that they're home again (hurray!) ... some shopping at our favorite second-hand sale ... visits with old friends ... and perfect weather for the outdoors! I hope you all had the same kind of fun-filled days. Auntie Lauren came back to Baltimore with MiMi so I get to have some more time to play with her! I'm going to ask her to go for a walk right now!

Simon Says "What, Bert Already Has a Partner?!"

Well, we can still be friends. I am making new friends from Sesame Street ... and you know what? They were friends of Mommy & Daddy when they were little too! I like the idea we can have the same friends for our whole lives and there is always room for more. So if we haven't met each other yet, I am still hoping that we can be friends. Have you ever tried to count all your friends? My list is already long and I am going to try to be the best friend I can. We need to say thank you for being my friend ... friends can make life so much more fun!

Simon Says "Did You Know? It's Earth Day!"

Happy Earth Day ... Can I ask? What are you doing to help save the land, the air, and all of the birds and animals for me to grow up and learn about? MiMi says she's recycling her hugs and kisses but it'll take more than that!!!

Well, not only is this Earth Day but it is also the day I turn three months old! Do you know how old the earth is? I hope we can all help to make it live forever!

Simon Says "Look MiMi, Let's Go, The Sun Is Shining!"

MiMi and I heard the weather report earlier and we figured we were stuck inside again today ... then what a nice surprise ... I looked up and the sun was shining! Off we went for a nice long walk ... MiMi likes to see what she can see ... me, I usually sleep while taking in all the fresh air. Hope you can find some time to get out and get your fresh air today too!
