Almost on the train

Just a quick update: I'm in Decorah with my mom, staying and playing with my COUSINS! I barfed twice Monday, but feel OK now. Mom says she's ready for some help from Dad. It'll be weird to see Dad going to work with a tie on every day. I get on the train in LaCrosse Friday night and we'll see Dad in Sydney, Mont., 23 hours later!

Goodbyes

I am moving for the first time since I came home from St. Luke's Hospital nearly 19 months ago. My Dad ("Dada") is already in Helena, ready to put on a tie and go to work. Mom and I are riding the train out at the end of the month from Iowa. But first we had to say goodbye to our little blue house and our friends in Duluth, like my buddy Esme. We were born the same night at St. Luke's. We hope to see each other for our second birthday.

Christmas sledding

We found a nice hill near Spencer, Iowa and did some Christmas Day sledding. I did get a little disenchanted when I got snow in my face after one run. But we went back to my Aunt "Son-as" house for prime rib and all was better. Happy holidays!
