The camara

I love this little person so much. It might be the dimples! Maybe it's because she is as cute as her grandma. LOL!

This is from Easter. I know that was last month, but I think I finally worked it out. She loves those Bongos! She like to slap them to make them light up. She has also taken to slapping people to make them light up, mostly red. So we call her "Slappy" now!
This piture was taken one month ago, when she turned six months. Today of course she is seven months. She has a tooth and is already trying to chew. She eats everything! She is also skooting about. It makes her tummy dirty.

Good Times!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Heaven with Santa

I know it's February, but I was having the tech issues (really Allison was). Now we get to see tiny. She'll be 5 months on my birthday. She was alot of fun and really like the see and say my Uncle Henry & Auntie Sue gave her. Although she hit her face once trying to put it in her mouth, she is getting better at holding things. She ONLY wants to stand or sit. None of this laying around crap. When is Easter? Maybe I'll be able to have those pictures by Rosie's birthday....in

May.

Stupid People!!!!

Here is the proof. They walk among us.

The Man!

Dianne Marie Bryant

Dianne Marie Bryant passed away last night at approximately 8:22 p.m.

She will be missed terribly. This is all I can write, right now.

Diane

Today I am waiting.

Waiting for news on my very best friend's mom, Diane, (above in the picture with Marie's daughter, Mikala). Those of you who read my blog are mostly my family, so you know who my friend Marie is. She was the one who went walking with me when I borrowed newborn Cassie from Nana. We took Cassie in her stroller across the neighborhood to show her to Marie's mom, Diane. We were gone an hour, and when we got back, Nana was sooooo relieved! She didn't know WHAT took us so long.

Diane had been making Cassie laugh. Cassie never cried the whole time.

Marie was in my wedding. She saved the day when she had M&Ms in her boobs to give to my flower girl, Autumn when Autumn was being loud.

I've known Marie since she and I were in 3rd grade. We met in 1980 when we moved here from Corona, CA. She was the first little girl I met when Jenn and I went down to the bus stop. She is the blogger who used to do the, "What Do You Think?" blog.

Marie and I used to play together every summer, but we got really close in junior high. I spent endless summer days and nights there at her house. I became very close to her folks.

Diane became like a second mom to me, and I love her very much.

Last Thursday, January 3, 2008, Diane had a heart attack. Her husband Ron had to do CPR on her. She lived, but has been on a breathing machine for the last week. She had said that she never wanted to be on life support, so today they are taking her off the breathing machine. Ron had to make this decision. He has been just beside himself.

I keep asking in my head, "did she breath on her own?" "Did she die?" It doesn't look good, so it could very well be the latter.

I don't want to disturb Marie right now. I haven't called her. I know what it's like to watch someone die right in front of you. Everyone who was there when Greg died, knows what I'm talking about.

So all I can do is wait. Wait to cry or be elated. Just waiting, with a deep sadness.

I love you, Diane. I always will.
