Cameron is my sister Tiffany's oldest. He is absolutely hillarious and he gave us a special treat Christmas Eve by doing the "Horton dance" from Horton Hears a Who. I asked for lessons and he tried to teach me. He said I was doing everything wrong and that I cannot move my legs or up upper body, but just my bum. Apparently, I didn't make the cut. I think Doug thought it would be better to film this with the camera vertical, so you'll need to tilt your head, but it's worth it. Cute kid.

Surgery Flowers
I had surgery in November to have a cyst removed. My doctor discovered it in a routine exam, and it was this crazy thing called a dermoid cyst. I have a photo of it that the doctor gave me, maybe I'll post it sometime. Thank goodness it was only a laparoscopic procedure and I recovered quickly. Staying home from work for a week was a killer though. I was grateful for smiling visitors and lots of flowers. My sisters, parents, sister-in-laws, co-workers, and grandparents were so kind to me. I took this photo because many of them may now know what their flowers looked like because they were sent by various messengers.
Halloween Recruits
Most of you know that I am a health nut. I love to be healthy and talk about being healthy. Well, the apartment we live in isn't in a great position to get trick-or-treaters and I have been sort of glad. The idea of handing out candy seems odd to me. This year, we asked 2 of our health-conscious friends to bring their kids over so we could at least enjoy the costumes. I went to the store and bought some healthy licorice (sweetened with molasses--Panda licorice, it's our favorite) to give to them. It was great. They don't take their kids trick-or-treating because of the junk they get, instead they have family parties and one family has a fun tradition of the Halloween Witch coming and taking their candy in exchange for a present while they sleep.
This is our one visitor this year...the other family forgot. We were waiting up excited, but we ate their licorice! We loved our first real trick-or-treaters.
