It is not exciting, but I love to listen to Mark on this video. He is just entertaining himself! He is acting like he is doing it for Raidon, he isn't, it is for himself. He totally cracks himself up!!Of course, I have to admit that I think its funny too!! We seem to enjoy torturing our children!! Is that wrong? Ha Ha!!

This week
Well, this week was full of firsts!! We took Reedley and her little friend Michael to their first circus. I started a blog. And, we finally got some good news about my Dad, whom I lovingly refer to as Joe or Joseph (Just because I think its funny to call him by his first name....I don't know why.)
Lets begin with the good news about Joe!! It appears as though the cancer has shrank. My Dad was sooooo funny at the doctors office. He was dancing and smoothing back his hair, what little he has left, he was so thrilled (as we all were!). My greatest regret though, is that I was the only one not there when the doctor told everyone. I came about 2 hours later!! Even though we have had great news this week, the week was not all happy. My Dad went to ER and was admitted for low B/P and dizziness on Thursday. He received 2 units of blood and returned home on Saturday. Then on Sunday, he went to Urgent Care because of urinary issues. I feel so badly for my Dad, it just never ends for him!! I just want to get through this so that he can enjoy life again!!
Now, on a happier note, we went to the circus on Thursday and we took Reedley's friend. This is a friend that we know through Daycare. It is sort of a running joke that these two are like an old married couple. They argue and nag each other endlessly. But other than that, they both seemed to have a great time. They especially loved the petting zoo outside of the tent. There was a zebra, that Reedley kept calling Marty (from the movie Madagascar) and when the zebra turned its back end to us, she pointed out its "butt crack". There was also a hippo, whom once again, she refered to as a Madagascar character, Moto-Moto. She was saying Moto-Moto's line, "I like em chunky", I thought it was hilarious. Of course, they were both one of those moments when as a mother you are not supposed to laugh, but you do behind your hand or as you turn your face!!
That was my week in review, please don't forget to vote yes for all of the props on Tuesday's California special election!!

Here we go!!
Well, I never thought I would be a "blogger" ( that is for you Sheila!) but I enjoy going to my friends blog and she encouraged this adventure. I figure, I will write and pour my heart out, if you want to read and see what boring things are going on in the household, you can check it out!!
Let me begin by saying that punctuation irritates me. Not when it is used incorrectly, but when I have to use it. I forget the "rules" of when to use it so I just leave it out. Yes, I am a teacher! I teach kindergarten and 1st grade. All the punctuation I really need to know is the period, exclamation point, and the question mark, and of course the occasional comma and apostrophe. For some of you, this will be a HUGE hurdle to jump but with any luck, you will be able to muddle through my punctuationless words!!For others, it will be no big deal and for you, I am thankful!!
Now, my husband is shaking his head at the idea of me doing something like this. He knows me well enough to know that I RARELY finish anything. I lose interest in things VERY quick!!!!! It's a wonder I haven't already decided to bail on this whole "blogging" thing! Once again Sheila, that was for you!!
As for the title of the blog, O the Fam, Mark and I love the movie What About Bob? and especially the particular scene when Bob arrives at the lake and starts shouting for Dr. Leo Marvin!! When he finally finds him, and sees the family, he says in a wonderous voice, "Oh, the fam". It is such a great line that Mark and I got personalized license plates on the van that say exactly that!!
Well, anyway, this will be a project full of trial and error. I hope that you will visit often and enjoy watching the family go through our different phases and challenges.I will try and post at least once a week, hopefully more.For those of you who pray, please continue praying for my Dad! Our prayers are being answered!!
Love to all and remember to Dream Big,
Michelle
