The McGuire's plus one!: What a day

So, what a day. Today both Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson died. It always seems to come in groups like this, doesn't it? Ed McMahon passed away yesterday. While I understand that these are just celebrities, there is still something about losing someone who you watched on TV or whose music you listened to. Farrah was a little before my time, but it is always sad to see someone lose a fiercely fought battle against cancer. It is a wretched disease and could disappear forever and the world would be a better place. Michael Jackson had his share of issues in his personal life and I can't speak for his actions. However, most people my age grew up on his music and have memories attached to it. For that reason, people mourn his loss. Today will probably be a day that my generation remember the way that our parents remember the day Elvis died.

However, life goes on. There are more important things to dwell on and things to focus on in the here and now. So, here are some new pictures of our little Delaney. She is becoming quite the handful with the tantrums and independence. We had a second round of colds and pinkeye (well, at least Delaney and I got the pinkeye) again last week. I can say with great confidence that I hate pinkeye. I looked like I had been punched in the eye when I woke up on Wednesday last week and it was swollen all day. I am not brave enough to post the picture on here, but many of my work friends saw what it looked like and it wasn't pretty. We are finally on the road to recovery again with just a little lingering cold. Delaney is teething again too, which is not helping the mood and tantrums. She did let me feel her gums tonight and one has finally broken through the skin and another is incredibly close. This will be teeth number 5 and 6. It is about time to get a few more teeth in there. Anyway, enough with the talking, onto the pictures.

Here she is "helping" with dishes again during one of the sick days. This greatly increases the time it takes to finish dishes. She now has to hand me the dishes to put away. Actually, I think this will come in very handy in the near future...
