Onkel Bibby's Luge

Onkel (German for Uncle) Bibby created perhaps one of the neatest luge runs in his back yard. It begins on his deck where onlookers lounging in the pristine waters of the Hot Tub can enjoy the cascading luge that unfolds down through several berms, up one speed check, and into the deep dark forest of Cave Hollow Gully. We have been spending several days a week here because it is so fun. I apologize that this visit (which was in the dark) was the first time I had videotaped the event.

The experience begins with me carrying Jada Rose back up to the beginning of the luge. The snow depth is such that if I were to let Jada walk herself, she would be overcome with exhaustion as its about 3 feet deep. Plus its good rehabilitation exercise on my healing tendon.

Walking with Dinosaurs!

Jada Rose and her two cousins (Troy and Kit) went to see "Walking with Dinosaurs LIVE" last week. Jada Rose had a wonderful time and accumulated a few souvenirs to prove it!

Jada Rose Painting

Last night while Andrea was watching some TV downstairs, Jada Rose and I decided to do some painting! Jada did not feel like my painting was up to par, and kicked me off the canvas! So I grabbed the video camera and enjoyed watching my favorite "Artist"!

Getting eyes checked!

We have been a bit concerned with Jada Rose's eyes because she rubs them a lot and say's "Owie Eyes" all the time. Today we had them checked and she has great vision and there were no apparent issues. However the optometrist did say the EBV could be causing some eye discomfort. He wrote up a script for her to have here eyes scanned next month when she gets a CT scan to check for possible nodes stemming from EBV. Here is a photo in her "HOT GLASSES".

Pre Christmas Update:

Jada is gearing up for Santa Clause to come! She doesn't have any favorite toys that she is asking for, so that is making it fun for her mom and I to try several different things! Her all time favorite movie is Sleeping Beauty. On the blueray version there is a Dragon Adventure that takes about 5 minutes. Jada watches that one bonus feature over and over again! She also has the songs memorized and likes to sing along while dancing with whomever is fortunate to be in the room at the time.

On a slightly downer side her EBV showed up again at around 4000 :-( Were back to taking regular labs until it goes away. Overall she is healthy, happy, and running wild ! She absolutely adores Kirstin and spends a lot of time with her during the week. She calls her "Kirsey". Brant is Kirstin's husband and has been over several times as well. Yesterday afternoon he showed up to clear off our DRIVEWAY, as I am a cripple right now! This is a cute pic that Kirsten took of Jada Rose...
