But I think it's great that you've been able to go to school for 3 weeks straight and that you were made a "Star" to boot! What a treat, huh? If you guys are like our kids, though, you probably have a few days off now, right? (Gobble, gobble!) Speaking of turkeys, can I tell you a funny story about wild turkeys? Last winter was a rough one for us, weather-wise. There was lots of snow, and all the wild critters got pretty hungry after a while, because the snow was covering up all their usual sources of food. The turkeys, in particular, were looking for anything they could find to eat (they're pretty big, after all, so it probably takes quite a bit of food to keep them feeling satisfied). Well, it turns out they found what they were looking for in one of our crab apple trees! These huge birds would stand underneath the tree and eye the little crab apples, and then they'd try to jump up into the branches to eat some! They were so big, though, that the branches just bent down under the weight of them, and they'd fall right off! After a few such (unsuccessful) attempts they'd instead jump up and grab a mouthful of crab apples before flopping back down on the ground again, doing this over and over again until there were hardly any crab apples left. We had such fun watching their persistence! But our favorite turkey "show" is probably still watching a whole extended family of them (several adults and a whole mess of "chicks") waddling through our yard during spring and summer, periodically pecking at bugs in the grass, on their way from the farmer's field in back of our house to the woods across the street from us. And all year long we watch the "chicks" get bigger and bigger until they're almost as big as the adults. The adults are pretty protective of them, too -- there are always a couple of them walking out in front of the chicks and a few bringing up the rear of the group, just like teachers do when they going on walking field trips with the kids at school! ;-) Well, gotta turn in. I have one more work day before my day of thanks, rest, and good food! Take care, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving, all of you! Kris, Rob, Emily, Danny, and Laura Tuesday, November 25, 2003 -- 21:00:13 (EST) Name: Marta, Paul & Sam -- Email: manildi@millercanfield.com Location: Ann Arbor, Happy Thanksgiving to you all! Like you, we will be remembering to be very thankful for family and friends and love! We are hoping that this Thanksgiving finds Simon feeling well and in a mood to eat lots of yummy food, and that everybody gets to enjoy some good family days together. Say, do you guys enjoy anagrams? These are probably more for Mary & Markus - Sam discovered some surprising anagram "twists" - Did you know the letters in "Clint Eastwood" are the same as "Old West Action"? And there's "Slot Machine" = "Cash Lost In 'Em", and "David Letterman" = "Nerd Amid Late TV". My personal favorite -"Snooze Alarms" also spells "Alas, no more Z's"! Our fond thoughts, Marta, Paul & Sam Thursday, November 20, 2003 -- 22:07:39 (EST) Name: anne, tom, and johannes -- Email: doyleyad@stolaf.edu Location: Northfield, MN USA anne, tom, and johannes Thursday, November 20, 2003 -- 19:57:31 (EST) Name: Marta, Paul & Sam -- Email: manildi@millercanfield.com It is turning to winter back here in old Michigan. I (Marta) am a lawyer and I have been in a trial for 3 weeks and it looks like it will last for another 3 weeks. I don't know if you've ever seen courtroom trials on TV, but I can tell you that they do not seem much at all like the real thing to me. The real thing is slow and often boring, and I feel sorry for the jury that has to try to pay attention for so long! I'll keep checking in when I can. Meantime, here's to you! Best wishes, Marta, and Paul & Sam too Wednesday, November 19, 2003 -- 21:35:33 (EST) Name: Grandma J -- Email: flammjean@aol.com I was reading your messages and realized that I forgot to tell you thanks for putting the picture of your tumor on your 6 !/2 birthday poster, but also noticed than you have a friend in Austria from Linz. Have you been to Linz? Linz is one of my very favorite places in Austria, and I love to drive the river road (not freeway) and see the weeping willow trees and the bicyclists who like to ride the flat road beside the river because it's good pedaling on their bikes. Love, Grandma J Wednesday, November 19, 2003 -- 20:16:43 (EST) Name: Grandma J -- Email: flammjean@aol.com Location: SLC, Utah I was delighted to find you at school working and smiling on "my" day at Uintah. I also appreciate your telling me so promptly that it is your "6 1/2 year" birthday commemoration, and pointing out your poster. You did well. It is very nice, and I liked the pictures that you selected, (and the one that you took). I liked Yellowstone, too. My son worked there two summers for TWA services when he was in High School. That gave us a very good excuse to go there, (to visit him). Once, the park was so full that the rangers would not have let us in if he hadn't been there. Only because I said, "My son is waiting for us, and he has a place for us to sleep", did they let us in. I also took a picture of the Morning Glory pool and think the pool is beautiful. That was fun to see how many vegetables your class could name. The comments surprised me, because some of the vegetables that kids say they like are not the vegetables you think of as kid favorites. Remember how everyone wanted the popular (to them) vegetables, and how several people had their hands up at once to try and get their personal favorite vegetable to be the one that they got to bring. I thought that it was funny that the kid who was not in the room was assigned to bring green onions. I said to my (grand)kids, "it's kind of like when you belong to an organization, and you miss the meeting that has the election of officers. If you aren't there to say "no", you will be made secretary, or another position that others don't really want. He wasn't there to bid for the vegetables that he did like. it'll be fun on Tuesday when Mrs Eaton lets you see all of the 25 vegetables "in person" (in vegetable, should I say?) I would love to be there that day, and munch on those vergetables. Too bad that it is Tuesday, not on Wednesday. I'll bet Mrs Eaton will have you write about some part of the tasting party--maybe even color a picture, or do graphs of favorites. At any rate, I'll find out on next Wed. when I come next. I forgot to ask how long you felt ill on the day that I drove you and your mom home. Oh, yes, I was going to ask about your Oma and Opa. Where do they live? I have been in Germany 7 or 8 times. Sometimes I've been on the train, and it's nice to be able to look at things, and not have to watch traffic on the Autobahn. Sometimes I drive, though. I've been in the Western parts of Germany-Munich, Salzberg, Lake Konstance, Cologne, Frankfurt. I've missed some really important places like Berlin, Bonn and Hamburg. I hope someday to see them, but I am happy for what I've seen. I love seeing all the castles along the Rhine River. I must leave now, and drive Ash to her girls' meeting. Love, Grandma J Tuesday, November 18, 2003 -- 20:31:35 (EST) Name: Kathy McMillan -- Email: kmcwilhelm@mindspring.com Location: Chicago, IL USA You don't know me, but I know your Mom from 'way back in college... then we found each other years later in Bayreuth. (Ask her if she remembers what she was wearing!) I was actually there when your Mom met your Dad. (Maybe I can tell you some fun stories someday) I just wanted to let you know that I've been checking up on your website and thinking lots about you, sending good wishes. Know that good thoughts and hugs are coming to all of you from the Wilhelm family in Chicago (that's Kathy, Martin [also a German], and 13-month old Laura. Tuesday, November 18, 2003 -- 19:30:31 (EST) Name: Lee Williams Tuesday, November 18, 2003 -- 19:30:29 (EST) Name: Lee Williams Monday, November 17, 2003 -- 23:45:09 (EST) Name: Rebecca, Randy, Emma & Schuyler -- Email: rebecca37cross@hotmail.com Location: Oberlin , OH USA We are so happy to hear your good platelet news! We wonder what your favorite books are these days. Schuyler is reading "A Tree is Nice" this week for homework. We love you & three cheers for good counts!! Rebecca & family Saturday, November 15, 2003 -- 16:22:19 (EST) Name: Linda Britt -- Email: lbritt@ameritech.net Location: Ann Arbor, MI I miss you so much that I wanted to kiss the computer screen when the photo of Simon and Miriam came up on my screen from your home page. I'm so glad to hear the good news about Simon's counts and will do another platelet dance anyway! I remember the dragon and princess from last Halloween and am glad to hear that those two great costumes had another airing. Snow on Halloween?! That happened here, in Ann Arbor, last year, I think. I bet you collected all kinds of good treats on your block. I love you all and will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers, as usual. Friday, November 14, 2003 -- 20:00:02 (EST) Name: Williams Calif. been thinking about keeping that trajectory going. Getting any winter yet? We have some rain but really just started real fall. The leaves are beautiful about now hope the rain doesn't push them all off the trees. Glad to Simon is enjoying school. Rowan is working on a poster about China, each child is sharing some facts on a country, can't believe how much he remembers week to week. Love you, annette, steve & Rowan Thursday, November 13, 2003 -- 22:10:51 (EST) Name: Tracy Reeber -- Email: tracyd60@earthlink.net Location: Mountlake Terrace, WA USA Tuesday, November 11, 2003 -- 20:57:46 (EST) Name: Angela Thomas -- Email: zzartset@bright.net Location: Tiffin, OH All my love and misses, Angela Tuesday, November 11, 2003 -- 12:28:20 (EST) Name: Irene Judmayer -- Email: i.judmayer@oon.at Location: Linz, Austria Upper Austria Liebe Grüße, Irene Monday, November 10, 2003 -- 22:13:55 (EST) Name: Seung-Yoon Rhee -- Email: syrhee@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, MI U.S.A. I was very glad to see Simon so healthy in the picture on the front page. And Miriam has grown up so pretty. I remember the time when Markus brought Simon to the U of M Musical Society ticket line to purchase half-priced tickets for students. It was a very early, cold morning, and watching Simon play with his Dad was a great joy. By the way, I gave birth to a baby boy, Eddy, on Sept. 19th. I hope Eddy could meet all of you someday!

Monday, November 10, 2003 -- 22:11:21 (EST) Name: Kris Hopkins -- Email: khopkins@mail.colgate.edu Location: Clinton, NY Well, for the first time that I can remember in the 12 years we've been trick-or-treating, we *didn't* have snow for Halloween ... or at least cold, damp weather or other signs of late fall in Upstate New York -- in fact, we walked from house to house in our neighborhood in balmy, breezy, 70-degree weather this year! (Unheard of, but *very* enjoyable!) Emily went to a summer camp reunion slumber party that evening, and Rob was at a barbershop meeting out of town; so Danny and Laura and I did the rounds together this year -- Laura was a pumpkin and Dan was a scary guy of some sort or other. The funny thing about his costume, though, was that it had floppy fabric "ears" that would start whipping around in the breeze, covering the mask holes where his eyes peeked out until he couldn't see anymore. Then this "scary" guy would shriek "Help, Mom -- I can't see!!!" We got laughing about how silly it was that a scary monster guy was "upset" and was calling for his mommy. But I guess even scary monster guys get scared and/or need help sometimes too! ;-) Happy Anniversary! And best wishes to one and all from: Kris, Rob, Emily, Danny, and Laura Monday, November 10, 2003 -- 21:42:42 (EST) Name: Ann Longsworth Orr -- Email: daniel.orr@yale.edu Location: New Haven, CT USA Many times when I talk to my parents on the phone, I ask for news about your family. My mom finally told me the other day, "CHECK THE WEBSITE!" -- so I did, and have really appreciated the chance to see your pictures, stories, and get an update (much more reliable that the things my parents make up when I ask). You are all very much in our prayers and thoughts and I hope we will see you in Oberlin sometime soon. Simon, if you like potty humor, let me know, and I will tell you a funny joke that I heard on Prairie Home Companion not long ago. Love from Ann, Danny, the duck, and the clown. Sunday, November 09, 2003 -- 21:00:07 (EST) Name: Katie Kyndely -- Email: kyndely@umich.edu Location: Ann Arbor, MI USA It is so good to hear of your life in Utah. How exciting. And also the progress with Simon's care. Even though Miriam is not a match, it still sounds hopeful. I wish you all the best and think of you often. Ken shares updates at church. I am still teaching pediatric students and wonder if it is okay to show them Simon's site. It is such a great way for family and friends to keep in touch. Wishing all of you the best - you are in my thoughts often. Katie Kyndely Sunday, November 09, 2003 -- 18:47:43 (EST) Name: carol longsworth -- Email: carol.longsworth@oberlin.edu Location: Oberlin, Ohio USA Saturday, November 08, 2003 -- 16:34:54 (EST) Name: Gari Stein Thursday, November 06, 2003 -- 21:22:31 (EST) Name: Sally Location: Seattle, much love from , Sally and all Thursday, November 06, 2003 -- 05:48:56 (EST) Name: Becky Smith -- Email: beckysmith62@aol.com Location: Mooresville, NC I log on to your web site several times a week; I don't know WHY I haven't signed in before! Mary, I just want to thank you for all the compassion and wisdom and experience you share on the NB Listerv and for all the things you write there that are helpful to so many other people. You ARE making a difference! Hope the music that is in your home continues to fill your souls! :-) Wednesday, November 05, 2003 -- 22:50:18 (EST) Name: Jennifer Click and Carolyn Coveney -- Email: jclick@mindspring.com Location: Falls Church, VA Tuesday, November 04, 2003 -- 15:21:49 (EST) Name: Madi, Lexi, Lawrie and Curt Location: Seattle, What did you dress up as for Halloween? What was Miriam? Madi was a butterfly and Lexi was Winnie the Pooh (we borrowed a great Winnie the Pooh hat from your mom's friend Sally Olson and her family (-her girls generously shared with Lexi). We hear you had snow brrrrr! it was cold here too but, no snow. I hope your mom and dad had a good night out together in honor of their 11 years together. We do indeed remember the Halloween connection. we love you all and hold you in our thoughts and prayers always, Madi, Lexi, Lawrie and Curt Tuesday, November 04, 2003 -- 02:39:00 (EST) Name: Irene Judmayer -- Email: i.judmayer@oon.at Location: Linz, Austria Upper-Austria Monday, November 03, 2003 -- 19:11:49 (EST) Name: The Thomas Team Mom -- Email: zzartset@bright.net Location: CHOP, Love, Angela Friday, October 31, 2003 -- 22:22:43 (EST) Name: amy -- Email: asheon@umich.edu Location: ann arbor, mi My little ones are tucked in their beds and you are probably still out trick or treating because of the time difference. Hope you got lots of candy and that all the test results you get this week will be sweet as well. Keeping our fingers crossed for you! Thursday, October 30, 2003 -- 19:29:05 (EST) Name: Lee Williams Tuesday, October 28, 2003 -- 08:58:28 (EST) Name: carol longsworth -- Email: carol.longsworth@oberlin.edu Location: oberlin, ohio usa Sunday, October 26, 2003 -- 09:02:31 (EST) Name: Kris Hopkins -- Email: khopkins@mail.colgate.edu Location: Clinton, NY I want to say how very brave I think you were when you had blood drawn the other day. I know that can be a very hard thing to do, and it sounds as though even your parents thought it hurt when they did it (you guys were brave, too!). Did you know that some wise person once said that bravery isn't doing hard, scary, or painful things without being nervous or afraid -- bravery is doing the hard things that need to be done even though we *are* nervous or afraid. That was really hard work, and I hope you feel very proud of yourself for having done it! Dear Simon, I'm guessing you were probably able to help your family members be brave when they had their blood drawn recently -- you've been having to do lots of brave things for quite a while now, haven't you. And you know what else, I'll bet you feel incredibly fortunate to have such loving, caring family members (and from what you said when you lit a candle in church the other day, I guess I already know that you do! :-). You can know that they love you *very* much, since they all agreed to have their blood drawn, in case one of them can help you out with a match. And when you think of all the people around the world who donate the blood that's given in transfusions, it's kind of like having a whole lot of love flowing in and out of veins all around the globe, isn't it?! Whenever I get nervous about giving blood, I just think of that, and it makes me feel happy and much more relaxed! And I know that kind of love can often work miracles, because right when I was born several family members and friends dontated some of their blood to help me get healthy again (I had a problem with some antibodies from my mother's blood that were hurting my own blood cells) -- it still makes me happy to think of having had their love flowing in my veins for a while after I was born! :-) So good luck with those blood and other tests -- we'll be thinking about you while you're waiting for the results. Best, Kris, et al. Saturday, October 25, 2003 -- 17:58:08 (EDT) Name: Marta, Paul & Sam -- Email: manildi@millercanfield.com Location: Ann Arbor, It seemed important to say Hi to all of you this time as you have all had to tough-out having needles in the arm, and it sounds like everyone is pretty serious right now about figuring out the next steps for Simon. Our hearts are with you all the way, as well as our admiration (and special kudos to Miriam for her extra bravery!). And we are always glad that you are so good at enjoying friends and the fun stuff - like Halloween - at the same time that you are getting your serious work done. Love to all, Marta, Paul & Sam Wednesday, October 22, 2003 -- 12:37:20 (EDT) Name: Gari Stein Utah is like in the Fall. The leaves here have been beautiful and the weather sunny and divine. I am thinking of you often and send you all my love. Gari Tuesday, October 21, 2003 -- 12:46:22 (EDT) Name: Kris Hopkins -- Email: khopkins@mail.colgate.edu Location: Clinton, NY Well, I don't know about you, but we're sure having fun with words at our house. We have a new game we play with Laura's sight words, since we have a whole pile of them now: first we put them in piles based on what kinds of word they are (person, place, or thing words; action words; colors; describing words; etc.), then Laura picks a word from each pile and puts them all together to make silly sentences. One time she had a sentence that looked something like this: "The six big pink cats ran up and down." (Pink cats???!) Another time she had a sentence about "purple oranges!" There are lots of ridiculous things you can do with words, aren't there?? We're thinking of you all, as always! Take good care of yourselves. Love, Kris, et al. Monday, October 20, 2003 -- 22:10:31 (EDT) Name: amy sheon -- Email: asheon@umich.edu Location: ann arbor, mi Garrison Keillor did a whole show of jokes on his radio program last week. I only heard a couple but I thought this one was pretty funny: Why does the fireman take a doberman with him to fires? To help him find the hydrant! You might need your mom or dad to explain it a bit.... Enjoying an Indian Summer blast of 78 degrees here in Ann Arbor today.... Sunday, October 19, 2003 -- 06:34:56 (EDT) Name: LeeWilliams Saturday, October 18, 2003 -- 21:11:17 (EDT) Name: Deborah Gurt -- Email: dgurt@hotmail.com Location: Northfield, MN USA It was exciting to read that you all went to Yellowstone. Lev is very keen to go there ever since he did a unit in school on wolves. (I think a lot of wolves live there). Here in Northfield, we have had swarms of Ladybeetles all over everything - including the house! Jacob doesn't like them very much and shouts at them, "eebug, out my house!" I think they like all the warm weather we've been having. Well, we miss you and Miriam, and your mom and dad, too. I hope we'll get a chance to see you soon. Keep up the good work on your spelling words! Love, Deborah, Marek, Lev and Jacob Saturday, October 18, 2003 -- 20:47:09 (EDT) Name: Schuyler Samuel Coleman -- Email: rebecca37cross@hotmail.com Location: Oberlin, OH USA I had my first spelling test this week, too. I had some of the same words that you did. What else are you doing at school? I hope that the next spelling test you have is good. How are you going to dress up on Halloween? I'm going to be a devil that's kind of like a wizard. I wish you good luck, Simon. love from your friend Schuyler Friday, October 17, 2003 -- 09:38:44 (EDT) Name: Jörg Mosthaf -- Email: joerg.mosthaf@etas.de könnt Ihr mir bitte Eure neue Postadresse per email zuschicken? Gruß, Jörg Wednesday, October 15, 2003 -- 15:15:40 (EDT) Name: Sid -- Email: sidss2003@yahoo.com Location: Ann Arbor, MI Sid from Ann Arbor here. remember me? So , it is good to see you are doing well, and that you have moved to SLC. I was sick for a while, so, I didnot get a chance to come ans see you before you left, but, it is good to see your progress. Best of luck, Sid Tuesday, October 14, 2003 -- 01:17:57 (EDT) Name: erik Location: , MD Your link to pictures of the Old Faithful Inn are quite memorable for my family and me. We visited the park with Sarah and Erickson three summers ago when they were 8 and 6 - just about your age. It was a great time and there were so many animals to see along with the beautiful mountains, gorges, and geysers. Fifty years ago, my Mom was a waitress in that very building - the Old Faithful Inn for a summer. Fun! Fun! Take care! Erik Saturday, October 11, 2003 -- 22:50:39 (EDT) Name: Kris Hopkins -- Email: khopkins@mail.colgate.edu Location: Clinton, NY And do you remember the version of that same joke that you made up and told to us when we were visiting you in Oberlin about a year and a half ago? You asked "what's black and white and (I can't quite do the rest of it justice, but I'll try...) pink and green and red and purple and brown and blue (or something like that!)??? Answer: "Nothing!" (Of course! What could possibly be all those colors?!) I really liked that variation on the pickle theme! Anyway, I hope you're feeling better soon and can go back to school -- I can imagine how hard it must be to miss seeing your new friends; but I'm sure they'll be glad to have you back again whenever you're feeling more chipper. Hoping that happens really soon, I send lots of warm, healing energy from unseasonably warm (!) Upstate New York! love, Kris, et al. Kris, et al. Thursday, October 09, 2003 -- 00:25:25 (EDT) Name: Carol Shultheis Wednesday, October 08, 2003 -- 22:13:44 (EDT) Name: Kris Hopkins -- Email: khopkins@mail.colgate.edu Location: Clinton, NY Laura's coming home almost every day with reading homework -- are you, too, Simon? They have "sight words" and vocabulary words and all kinds of other words they're looking at and learning to read. Sometimes it feels like hard work, but sometimes it also feels really *cool* to be able to read things on her own now (which she wasn't able to do even just a few weeks ago!). Pretty amazing what you guys learn and how quickly you learn it, huh? And Miriam, are you learning all kinds of neat things at your school, too? I'll bet you are! And I thought of you the other day, too, because Laura's taking her very first ever dance class this year (did I tell you this already?) -- and the other day her teacher gave the kids long pieces of cloth that they swished and swirled and ran with and jumped with and threw up in the air and let fall gracefully on the floor -- then the kids had to "throw" themselves up in the air and fall down gracefully, just like their cloths did! They had *such* fun -- and all the adults watching wanted to run right out there and try it, too! Well, I've gotta get ready for an early morning tomorrow -- maybe you do, too. So "good night!" And in the meantime, we'll keep thinking good thoughts for you all. Kris, Rob, Emily, Danny, and Laura Wednesday, October 08, 2003 -- 18:04:05 (EDT) Name: Grandma J -- Email: flammjean@aol.com I missed you today in first grade. There were several people absent, including Austin. Austin was not sick. He stayed home because his family adopted a new baby sister. Now he is outnumbered, because he has a sister in 7th grade, too. For the song, "Clifford" was chosen. I was checking pages of letter and word sounds, and noticed that yours was among them. I know that you know so many more words now than you did at the start of school. Two student nurses from Westminster College came and presented a learning session on Germs, and How They Are Spread. I was thinking at the time, "Simon knows about this, as he has to take care of his central line." They put glitter glue on Conner's hands, and had them first wash just with water-no soap. The glitter glue, (playing the part of bad germs), stayed on Conner's hands. Then he washed the correct way with soap, and one of the two nurses watched to direct him to do it well. That time, his hands came out clean. They also put fake "germs" on a couple kids' hands and had the kids shake hands from person to person. Then they closed the blinds, and turned on a lamp with a blacklight bulb, and went from person to person with the blacklight. It showed the "germs" (pretend) under the blacklight, and even some which fell off someone's hands onto the carpet. It was a good way to think of how germs travel. There was an announcement for anyone who hadn't turned in theri fundraiser packets yet to bring them in, and for parents who have not yet signed up for SEP conferences to choose a time. Nick fell off the monkey bars,and scraped his left elbow and his knee, and got the wind knocked out of him. He got really scared, and sat on my lap, but couldn't stop crying until he rested a bit, but then he came back all smiles to his reading group. I talked to Ms Jennings in the hall. She said that the school will be saving the "Boxtops for Education" (from cake mix and cereals, etc. this year. We have not started, as the boxes were accidently thrown away from last year when they were getting ready for all of the construction in the school this year. She said that maybe each room could make their own box for their room, and that way we could get started. And that, my dear Simon, is all of the news that I can think of from this morning at school, except to say that we missed you! Love, Grandma J PS. I'm working in Peds Clinic with Amy Empey.

Sorry to hear of all of your issues with ITP and problem crossmatching. I used to be one of the folks in the blood bank dealing with trying to help find compatible blood so I can appreciate your frustration. I'm glad things are better now and glad to hear you're doing better, Simon. Pulling out your hair must be fun. Many of us want to do that often and can't. Remember, I think Yul Brynner is pretty sexy... Am I dating myself? Love to you all, Trish Monday, September 29, 2003 -- 18:52:46 (EDT) Name: Marta, Paul & Sam -- Email: manildi@millercanfield.com Location: Ann Arbor, Why don't you ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"? Why is "abbreviated" such a long word? Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? When dog food is new and improved tasting, who tests it? Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes? Why don't sheep shrink when it rains? Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?

Jesse and I just finished a great book that was written during my early childhood but I never heard of it. I'll bet Simon would love it..the various adventures of Flat Stanley. There's even a fun website (<<not>> from the era of my youth) about adventures real children have sending their own "flat stanley's" around the globe--I hope Simon will like it: www.flatstanleyproject.com Sunday, September 21, 2003 -- 14:31:39 (EDT) Name: Williams family Location: Oakland, CA the effort.

The rides are definitely our favorite aspect, it seems; but we've also had a lot of fun looking at all the animals that come to be shown off in the various competitions. I can't believe all the careful grooming that goes into getting them ready to show -- it's just astounding! I especially like watching folks braid their horses' manes or their cows' tails.... Then after the hair's dry, they undo the braids and brush and fluff the hair -- so much work goes into it! Have fun if you end up going back again! We'll be thinking about you! Love, Kris et al. Tuesday, September 09, 2003 -- 23:31:15 (EDT) Name: Annette Location: OIakland, CA No rest for the weary. Can't this whole thing just give you a few free weeks once in awhile? Sorry to hear about the low platelets but great to hear you have a new form of music in the house. I think it's nice to have a piano around though I can't say much of anything for all the years of piano lessons I took and hated. I would like Rowan to be able to learn by picking out tunes not first reading music, maybe that would work better? I hear there are teachers who start that way. Good luck with getting the chemo started again. It's wonderful Simon's school has been so responsive. think of you often, Annette Steve and Rowan Saturday, September 06, 2003 -- 16:19:03 (EDT) Name: Lee Williams Saturday, September 06, 2003 -- 08:50:49 (EDT) Name: Anne, Tom, and Johannes -- Email: doyleyad@stolaf.edu Location: Northfield, MN USA love, anne, tom, and johannes Saturday, September 06, 2003 -- 08:30:46 (EDT) Name: Kris Hopkins -- Email: khopkins@mail.colgate.edu Location: Clinton, NY In the meantime, though, it's great to hear that everyone's enjoying their respective schools (I want to go to Miriam's -- can I, please, huh, pretty please???), that the medical folk in SLC are finally seeing "the real Simon," and that you got a PIANO! I very fondly remember a Baldwin we had when I was in high school -- beautiful tone.... May you have many, many happy years of music together, you and your new friend. And may it not annoy Simon *too* much in the process (we have some similar issues at our house when Emily needs to practice or Rob needs to try out a new barbershop arrangement, but I know you all will find some creative way of working things out -- you're so good at that!). Thanks for keeping us posted! Kris, et al. P.S. The bass of Riptide, the barbershop quartet that sent you a tape of "Blue Skies" last year, was on the phone with Rob last night and asked about you, Simon. We told him you'd had a pretty eventful summer, but that things seemed to have calmed down considerably in recent weeks. He was really glad to hear that!

Keep up the good work, buddy! We would be most interested to hear how you enjoyed your first week of school, Simon. New friends and a new classroom - it must have been exciting. Since all four of us are in different schools this year, we have some interesting scheduling to do ourselves each day. I am always a little nervous the first week of school, but by the second week I feel much more confident. Perhaps it's the same way with you? ;) I wish you and Schuyler could be first grade classmates!

She was up well before the alarm went off and was all dressed and ready to go before I had a chance to shower... She was also too excited to more than 10 cheerios, so I hope she lasts okay until lunchtime. I hope your schools will be wonderful and that you'll make lots of new friends, even though the old ones miss you an awful lot. Thinking of you, Caroline (now over the hill), Matt, Hava and Ruby P.S. Matt and I spent a weekend in Chicago last weekend and had a great time while Hava's Aunt Temi and grandparents took care of Hava.
