Aww, msbelle, that's a lovely dream. Hope it comes true soon. My thoughts are with your family today, Kat.
Here's the link to the set of eclipse photos on flickr. They are really of varying quality, because it was a fiddly process with the cameraphone, but I am still amazed that that was even possible.
Our kiddoes just to the south of us didn't see any of it; total cloud cover. We got to see it all the way past greatest totality, and then it succumbed to the clouds from the south. So as far as I know, the moon turned red and disappeared, and now we're all going to die because it's the end of the world.
It was really fun.
Vibing best outcome vibes to Grace, and calmness to K&K.
good wishes to Grace

Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them. I was sorry to miss the eclipse but it was 1) in the middle of the night and 2) raining. Now I can enjoy it vicariously.
Liese, those photos are AMAZING. I cannot get over the clarity you get of the moon itself. And a camera phone. COOL.
I'm getting antsy. Grace went in at 8:40. We didn't ask how long it would take, and I wish we had, but knowing how long they might take won't change how long it will take.
Fantastic photos, Liese.
Kat, I remember how stressful it was when Emmett went in for routine surgery to fix his broken nose. Just try to breathe and "maintain an even strain" as the aviators like to say.
Good wishes Gracie!
I am still sick. This bites. Especially since I am in the office, coughing and sneezing and all. My throat is sore partly because of all the coughing. Bah.
Very cool pics, Liese.
Agree with David. Mac's leg surgery was like 4-5 hours and I went from zen to crazy spastic mama back to near zen when the finally came and got me to meet him in recovery.
Waiting through surgery is the Big Unfun. Deep breaths, Kat. And maybe some tea.
But it's not like this is Grace's first surgery. Or even Grace's first iteration of THIS surgery.
The Childlife person brought her a toy to play with and the nurse brought her a bear in scrubs so Grace could see eveyrthing they were doing -- like taking vitals. Super cute and sweet.
Sigh.
I've already had 32 ounces of tropical passion iced tea!
Kat, I can't even count how many surgeries my mom has had at this point (I'm not sure she can either, honestly), and it sucks just as hard every time. Go easy on yourself, lady.
