Day 115: Rock On!

April 25
Vicki has the most amazing piano teacher (that's her on the far left - the teacher, that is.  Vicki's a little left of center, all in black, with purple glasses and a yellow guitar.)  This year's recital theme was "Rock On", and it did totally rock.
Vicki played "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", in case anyone is curious.

Day 97: One Nightstand

April 7
I almost forgot to take a picture today.  But I got one.  This is my nightstand, complete with the paper flowers Vicki gave me for Mother's Day last year (or possibly the year before...), my eyedrops so I can open my eyes each morning, and the stack of books/magazines that I have started but not finished.
Now you know.

Day 96: Monkeying Around

April 6
Notice the fear in her eyes?  It's because I let go of her with one arm while I took the picture.  She loves monkey bars and is absotultely terrified of them all at the same time.

April 4
Easter Eggs!

Day 93: Crazy Robotic Mouse

April 3
Remind me never to voluntarily set foot inside Chuck E. Cheese again.  My ears were ringing for hours afterward, and even Chuck E. appears slightly creeped out by the weird music video on the display next to him.
