SNOWPOCALYPSE

My little Portland suburb covered in snow. Ain’t it pretty?

BUT I HAD PLACES TO GO! It was about to be my birthday and I was scheduled to get on an airplane (an airplane!!!) to see Nana and Papa!

Long story short: the roads were insane, we abandoned our car, waited for an Uber driver with chains on his tires, sat in a standstill on the freeway for an eternity, just missed our flight, and finally booked ourselves on a flight scheduled to leave 4 hours later which was delayed an additional 2 1/2 hours. So there was a lot of waiting. (And, by the way, I was the awesomest kid ever and Mommy and Daddy thanked their lucky stars that I am an airplane and airport fanatic and determined to make this trip happen.)

We finally took off at 11:20pm and I got to celebrate the stroke of midnight of my birthday, quite fittingly, on Alaska Airlines. Then I finally fell asleep. And thanks to Nana and Papa for picking us up at 1:10am and then hanging out with me when I asked for “dinner” at 2am.

TRAM!!! 2

Yesterday, I went back to Doernbecher for a Modified Barium Swallow study. I had to eat and drink weird white stuff that shows up on an x-ray. After a slow start, I did it! Yay, me! (Oh, and there was nothing wrong. I swallow great. I just don’t like food that isn’t goat cheese or chocolate. Is that so hard to understand???)

After the swallow study was done, but before the dreaded NG tube was replaced, we went on the tram again!

DIY TRAM

Daddy and I made our very own Portland Aerial Tram. LEGO minifigs now have a way to travel from the dining room chairs to the Christmas tree.

HANUKKAH NIGHTS

Well, Hanukkah is all over now. And I made a KILLING on airline planes! Here’s Night 3: Boeing 787.

Then, Night 4: United Airlines.

Nights 5, 6, and 7 all followed the same pattern. But now I bring you to Night 8…

Whaaaaat? A bike??? Well, I loved that, too, and will practice inside until spring so I can Skuut my heart out once the sun comes back. Thanks, Grandma and Grandpa, for a fun Hanukkah!

2017

Today, Mommy continued her quest to take a family picture every New Year’s Day. I was incredibly cooperative and allowed two takes. That’s it! How do you think we compare to last year?

Here I am as my own body double so Mommy could set up the tripod right.
