She’s Baaaaack!
Did you notice I was gone?
Before I get started, I’d like to thank Cheryl, Liz, Elizabeth & Dawn for blog-sitting for me while I was away. Ladies, your writing — your beautiful, brilliant words plastered on the walls of my bloggy home — is appreciated. Perfect posts from each of you!
I cannot thank you enough for sharing yourselves with me and the readers of The Dana Files. I’m so grateful and so in love with each of you (and I mean that in a soul-friends kind of way). Any time you want to do this again, just say the word.
So…Good Morning! What have you been up to? From the looks of my feed-reader, I have a lot of blog-walking to catch up on. Many of you are wondering where I was this past week. To say I was busy would be an understatement. I was overwhelmed.
Last weekend we went to Pacelli Panacea, a local carnival/picnic to raise money for the Stevens Point Area Catholic Schools (SPACS). Photos are here. Dawson loved the Ferris Wheel.
Then I spent the past week cleaning and organizing and preparing for Dawson’s birthday party which was yesterday. The little bug had a wonderful day, celebrated with family, friends and cake! Lots of CAKE! And CUPCAKES, too! (Did you know my son loves cake? Yeah. I think there’s a drug in the frosting.)
Dawson received so many fun presents! Grandma T. bought him this really cool Hotwheels car that lights up and makes noise. Really loud, screaming noise. A noise similar to a rocket launching. Yes. That kind of noise. We’ve hid it on top of the refrigerator.
The best part of yesterday’s shindig is that Poppa (my father) taught Dawson how to ride his bike. The child actually pedals. The lazy bum made me push him around on the bike all summer…but twenty minutes with my dad and the kid looks like he’s been riding for years. I think he was conning me.
Last Thursday I had another doctor’s appointment. This time for a pap/pelvic/breast exam. All is well on the reproductive front. More to come about that, though. I have many things to be thankful for.
I’m feeling pooped out today. And thank the blue skies I managed to clean up after the birthday bash last night. Nothing to do today but relax and play with Legos and Play-do. (Not together of course. That might be messy.) Oh, and velcro ball, too!
Dawson your mom is going to have so much fun with these toys!

I think the cool hot wheels toy which makes a lot of noise and flashes light and all that should really be the special toy Dawson plays with every time he visits Grandma!

All’s well on the reproductive front? More on that to come? You have a lot to be thankful for? DANA! Are you pregnant??
