Allison's First Circus

A little excited...


The show is beginning!


High wire act.


These guys are a little bigger than Maxwell.


I can't wait to show Allison's friends this once she's a teenager.


The elephants!


Dreaming of the circus.

Now see those fish, Ally? My friends and I like to catch those!

Little chilly at the beach!

The Patient

Today, Allison had a minor surgical procedure performed. She had a small lesion removed near her right tonsil; the procedure also involved general anesthesia. John briefly wondered who was cutting onions in the hospital at 7:30 AM. 40 minutes later, she was reunited with Mommy and Daddy. As you can see from the pictures below, though, it will be a long and difficult recovery.

And a twirl...

What are these two thinking?

In case you haven't heard, we've entered the phase where it is very difficult to dress her. Will this really last 15 years?
