Toddlers & Tiaras with Tom Hanks

Hello Everybody,

This is the FUNNIEST VIDEO I have seen in a long time, and I LOVE Tom Hanks!! You HAVE to see it....what a hilarious first appearance by his daughter Sophie!! It made me and my mom laugh out loud the whole time!! Ya just gotta love Tom Hanks. He can do no wrong!!

Well, Pete and I had a fun weekend in DC last weekend, it was a great getaway. Now we're gearing up for our trip to Rochester NY in a couple weeks, to get Nathan all moved in and ready to start his new life as a fresh college graduate!! YAY NATE!! He's there now, for a few days, to find himself a starter job, and to get things ready for his move. He's already got an interview lined up for this week! Way to go boy!!

Then, a couple more weeks after THAT trip, I'm driving my mom up to Michigan for a week to visit with everybody. Should be a fun time. Also, while all these trips are happening, in the meantime back home, we are on the EDGE, very CLOSE to the point where we can finally get financing to make an offer on that house we love so much!! I'm DYIN'!!! I just drove by it again today, to make sure it's still there (yes it is), and to make sure there's no "SOLD" sign on it!! (No, there isn't)! So, hopefully by the end of April, we should be on our way to making an offer!

Other than that, life is going along just fine. Florence impressed her doctors today, she knew the exact date, even the year, the day of the week, she recited all the days of the week in a row, AND backwards, she even spelled words AND spelled THEM backwards too. How many 89 year old's can do that without missing a single answer?! She's doing GREAT. We've got her new medication going strong, doing very well, and so now we can slowly take her off another one that she's been taking for a long time that she no longer needs. All in all, she's healthy as a horse, there are no more violent angry outbursts, no more "voices" that she hears, no more paranoia, but we do notice a little bit more confusion than she used to have. That's just the natural progression of the dementia though, not much we can do about that. So, she's doing great, the doctors are happy, she's happy, and we're ALL happy about that.

My nephew Josh had surgery today for a cyst that he had to get removed from his back side. It was an inch deep, and 2.5 inches in diameter! I joked and told him he should have asked the doctors to remove it and sew it onto the FRONT of him...hehehehe....and if he has a scar, he can always get a bulls eye tattoo to cover it up!! hehehehe He came out of the surgery just fine and is feeling great. Poor kid has had all sorts of medical dilemma's this past year, hopefully he can make it to his high school graduation without any more!

Well, that's all the news for now. Love, Becky & Pete ps. Tomorrow the new iPad is released!
