She is in Summer School this week so we celebrated by taking cookies to her class. She seemed to enjoy that.
In honor of her birthday, a funny Vivian story: At the swimming class last weekend that Vivian was completely not enjoying, I tried to distract/interest her by talking to a sweet little girl and her mom who were having a good time in the water. Vivian responded by pinching the sweet little girl. I was mortified and of course apologized profusely and then fussed at Vivian.
"I get out of the pool and go to time out?" was Vivian's response.
Seems like only yesterday when we got the call, while in the Grand Canyon, that Vivian had been born and was going to be my namesake. Happy, happy birthday, sweet Vivian. Love, Biba
What a cute story. Happy 15th! wow! what a young lady!!!!!
Elouise - you are such an inspiration to me. I read all your stories and really am amazed and impressed at the grace with which you face life. You are truly a special person.

I unintentionally contaminated all of the pictures on my blog when I changed my privacy settings on Flickr. I am working backwards to correct them all, but it is quite a tedious procedure! If you encounter a post with error messages from Flickr where the pictures should be, then I haven't gotten to that post yet. Please let me know and I will update it immediately. Thanks for your patience!
