The Perkins Family: February 2010
http://willandsusanperkins.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 16, 2010. Son of a biscuit eater! Stupid Blogger did it to me again! I thought that it was just a fluke so I uploaded 5 or 6 pictures of Alison for an update blog and only this one showed up! I know that it's been a really long time since I've written anything so I just make a list of all the stuff we've done (that I can remember) and then elaborate on a few of them. Hosted Thanksgiving dinner for the first time. Did lots and lots of Christmas celebrating with lots and lots of family.

Saturday, September 26, 2009. Holy crap, has it really been 13 months? Wow, Alison will be heading off to Harvard before too much longer! I know that I missed this post on Alison's birthday but it was an absolutely INSANE time. Lots of family visits, parties, and birthday craziness in a very very short amount of time. One day I may get around to posting details about the huge birthday weekend. I think that I'm still recovering! So, on to some details about what Alison is doing now. We watch Jack's Big Mu...

The Perkins Family: May 2009
http://willandsusanperkins.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 26, 2009. Today is Alison's 9 month birthday so you know what that means! My 9 month old daughter. Weighs almost 16 pounds. Is still transitioning into 9 month clothes. Has experienced her first "in-flight" emergency. (When we went to Iowa, there was a problem with the landing gear and we had to make an emergency landing in Indiana. She slept through the whole thing.). Has visited 6 states (Virginia, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, Iowa, North Carolina). And yes, I'm very thankful for this!

The Perkins Family: January 2011
http://willandsusanperkins.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 1, 2011. I'm really going to try! Alison has had her g tube surgery and it has absolutely been the BEST thing that we ever could have done for her. She was 21.8 pounds the morning on the surgery and at her last doctor's appointment in early December, she was 29.8 pounds! That is unreal for Alison! Alison is going to a morning preschool program two days a week and it's so great for both of us. She loves her teachers (and I do too, they are so great! What to say about me?
