Some cute pics!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! While we wait.... patiently... for Uncle Paulie to actually email us the pictures from Thanksgiving, here are some cute pictures of Joli recently. There are ones of her with Joli's Song, eating ice cream with her little friend Melina Menghi, building a gingerbread house with Grace and Joanne Diaz, walking Gordon, and wearing her cute outfit of Chicken Little/Hula Skirt/Snoopy Hat. Enjoy!

CUTE PICTURES
Joli is back from the hospital and doing well! Thanks to Uncle Paul, Aunt Kirsten and Tita Grace for hanging out with Joli while she was there. Thanks to Daddy (Jorge), too, who, yet again, had to endure the nightmare of a discharge from the hospital.... "kisses to you" (see picture).

Joli turned 28 months while in the hospital, so here are her tigger pictures. Enjoy!

REAL QUICK.
Hi, everyone! Thanks for checking in. Joli is back in the hospital for chemo, and she celebrated her "28th month birthday"., and 3 months since diagnosis. There are actually a few cancer patients on her floor this time, so she got to see some other cute bald-headed kids, and I got to bond with some of the parents who were there.

She's doing well -- had a rough first day again (nausea, etc) but seems to be in better spirits today. Joli will come home on Saturday.

We'll post her 28 month pictures when she gets back. Thanks everyone!

THE VEGA COUSINS MEET!

Uncle Andy, Aunt Marie, and Cousin Lily are here!! They spent the weekend here with us and we all had such a great time! Joli was such a great "big cousin!" She helped to change Baby Lily, flush her "disgusting poo poos", and even let her sit on her lap. We also got a chance to go to Boston and see the Stars Wars exhibit where Joli got to see her friends Chewy, R2D2, and C3PO. If you haven't heard yet, Joli is wild about Star Wars.... and the Backyardigans (who Jorge and I also love).

See ya!

PICTURES ARE HERE!
Here are pictures of Joli's first movie theater adventure, some pictures from Mommy and Joli's day at the playground, and Tita Grace giving Joli a massage. Yes, that's right. Joli was getting a massage. I saw her just lying on the floor saying "Tita Grace! I need a massage!" Oh, like mother like daughter. (notice Grace's new svelte and strong figure! Way to go, Grace! -- if you haven't seen her .. she looks awesome and lost weight eating right and exercising! Hurray, Grace!)

PICTURES ARE COMING....

Hi, everyone! We've been having a great week, and a great chemo round! Joli's white blood cell counts were good, so we ventured out to her first movie. She saw Chicken Little and LOVED it! Jorge really spoiled his girls at the movies -- he bought us a large popcorn, each our own drink (woahh....), and even Reeses Pieces! Ah, yes, Joli loved it (and so did I!). She even got to sit in her own "big chair." Once we got into the car to go home, Joli said, "I want to go see Chicken Little again!"

At the request of Aunt Jenny, here are some of my pregnancy updates: I'm definately feeling the "fluttering" and feeling much, much, much better. I think I've been showing since, oh, my first month. We'll do an ultrasound at the end of the month, and YES, we will find out whether we're having a boy or girl... I think she's a girl! And, poor Jorge.... Joli, "baby Vega", and I already exclude him from things like "Girls Hang Out Time" or "Girls Bonding Time" or "Girls Day Out to Breakfast." His buddy boy for now is Gordon... and his movie theater in the basement. See ya! I'll post a picture soon!
