Robbie, Michele, and Morgan visited Paul, Donna, and Gigi in Orlando, September 3, 2007. Here are some pictures: http://flickr.com/photos/81193805@N00/sets/72157601861527225/

Morgan's foot has a pink cast with a black sock on it.

We had a little surgery today at Miami Children's Hospital to remove an extra toe that Morgan was born with. She's at the hospital tonight for observation (with Dad & Mom too) and will go home in the morning with a bright pink fiberglass cast on her foot that goes from just below her knee to her (now 5) toes on the left foot. Her doctor says she'll be able to tap dance and kick box again in a few days. Until then, it's Codeine.

Morgan was happy to have a birthday party with Nana, Lee, Bob, Phyllis, plus Bill W. and Katie and Nikki also dropping by for good wishes. Michele made a yummy cake (white cake with red and blue gumdrops in it) on Sunday morning and it went well with burgers and hot dogs.

Morgan's got one week to go until she turns one so it's probably a good time for a blog update. She's growing rapidly and her personality has new sparkle to it every day.

M. is about to turn 2 next week and she couldn't be changing more quickly. She asked to sleep in the big (queen) bed Sunday night and has left her crib. She climbs into full sized chairs. She wants to drive the car, not ride in back. She wants to help cook dinner sometimes.

We miss beautiful, friendly Kostanai, and Morgan's caregivers at Delphin and especially auntie Zha

This week, Morgan breezed through her first taste of the International Baccalaureate track (just kidding) at Riviera Child Care Center. Each day opened with emotional drama -- but by Friday, she had adjusted. Caregiver Millie reported that Morgan clapped her hands, smiled during a piano number, ate all her fish sticks and played with both Eric and Caitlin. Morgan hadn't been crawling a lot, but after her first day at school she came home and was slithering all around our tiled living room. We think she's learning from her classmates.
