Days +92-93: a special day for Keri and me

It's our anniversary today. Eight years ago today we were camping on the beach at Deception. Hard to believe it's been eight years. Then again, Keri said it felt like eons ago. Not much energy for celebrating this year, but we did make a nice salmon dinner and open a bottle of good wine before Keri went to bed.

Mina Brigitta is pretty much the same as she's been over the last week or so. Still having loose stools with some blood and mucous, though last night was the first night in a while that she didn't wake up to poop in the middle of the night. She's still limping, and Keri thinks it might actually be a little worse than last week. And she's still kind of low on energy and appetite. But her spirits are good otherwise, and her vocabulary continues to grow by leaps and bounds.

I've been trying to keep track of some of the cute things she's been saying because people seem to like to hear them, but I'm always too tired to remember them when I finally get to the blog. Here's one I've been saving: She likes to eat cheese, and the other day we had some goat cheese. So we told her which cheese was "moo cheese" and which one was "bah cheese". The third one she insisted had to be "neigh cheese". Another one is from when Keri was trying to teach her how to pick up her toys. She kept saying "pick it up!", so Mina now thinks "pick up" is pronounced "pickee up". She's also now saying "wakee up", as in "Bubba wakee up!"
