I can't believe she will be 3 in two months. She is such a little firecracker! She's been having a fun summer. Her favorite things to do lately...sing and dance on her new stage in her room, swing on her swing set and swim. She is SO over soccer...I have to fight with her to go every week. It is too hot to be running around in the sun! I have been making her go but after today, we are done going! We are all over soccer! At least we tried...sorry Chris, your little girl is not going to be a sports girl! She also started gymnastics once a week and LOVES it! Her favorite activity there is the foam pit. Its a huge padded pit full of soft pieces of foam. The kids just get to run and dive into it. Madi has no fear and was the first kid to take a dive! Madi is such great big sister! She is always looking out for Elly and trying to make her laugh....its so cute! </div><br /></div></div>ShannonLeidekerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04069738759814860753noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562439961862057870.post-52594919183431951892011-08-06T15:36:00.013-04:002011-08-06T22:25:25.816-04:00Ellyana, 3 and 4 month post<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB5ugq975JbZcqljxXW46K5MKiS8MChGPGuUEFiYDZYKgwqZXMT5VpezXrjnwRt6ZfA1v62KnE8kIzgcIVVbrcmnJZiOHICB9gq6cQjxPoMiyYRuHra2D4hLMerH3wHJuXcWZjqYiUVlPp/s1600/SAM_0558.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637855873323988930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB5ugq975JbZcqljxXW46K5MKiS8MChGPGuUEFiYDZYKgwqZXMT5VpezXrjnwRt6ZfA1v62KnE8kIzgcIVVbrcmnJZiOHICB9gq6cQjxPoMiyYRuHra2D4hLMerH3wHJuXcWZjqYiUVlPp/s400/SAM_0558.JPG" /></a> <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ellyana</span> @ 3 months</strong></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Weight: 11-12 lbs</div><br /><div align="center">Height: 24.5 inches</div><br /><div align="center">Clothes: 3-6 months<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEt-47rn7WBwAgYWyZfvUEr7QDn2MUzhS6aKL8A2JpRk7-1hfcRz5SFuS7q-ZWnzvOSUr4mtBO-JLYqTg2Qdx9V3FhlxnytSOOfQYK7IIgv1c1TLC2IGqkBAB5HyiW_UQBqfmQND35X1i_/s1600/SAM_0691.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 266px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5637855861259073666" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEt-47rn7WBwAgYWyZfvUEr7QDn2MUzhS6aKL8A2JpRk7-1hfcRz5SFuS7q-ZWnzvOSUr4mtBO-JLYqTg2Qdx9V3FhlxnytSOOfQYK7IIgv1c1TLC2IGqkBAB5HyiW_UQBqfmQND35X1i_/s400/SAM_0691.JPG" /></a> <strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ellyana</span> @ 4 months </strong></div><br /><br /><br /><div align="center">Weight: 13 lbs 8 oz<br />Height: 26 3/4 oz<br />Clothes: 3-6 months and 6 months<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ellyana</span> is 4 months old!

I have been busy with 2 silly girls! I am back to work and hating it! Elly is not doing good with the bottle so we are trying different bottles to try and find one she likes. I just bought the Tommee Tippie which is shaped just like momma so we will see! On Monday she went from 5 am to 2 pm only eating about 2 ounces in between! I had to come home at lunch to nurse her. She just loves her momma!! Besides the bottle issue she is doing great...eating, sleeping, pooping and smiling...everything she is supposed to do! She doing a 6-7 hour stretch without eating at night so I have been getting plenty of sleep. She is also very tall, almost 2 feet long!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj7QRzPboY6FoNv5CxGQibL0ey_8R3LY0ccVPpri2-ONxKUPM-Rm6FDwSy-fz5RGNwOo9dle_JB3SeHr60oHaJb68c0xoWEN07PsEu7e-PSW1bqRnS-V2_yHuK5cmw94kVGzojUW4ia1DL/s1600/250508_1933589513216_1646645184_1918036_4312625_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5618183333521603362" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhj7QRzPboY6FoNv5CxGQibL0ey_8R3LY0ccVPpri2-ONxKUPM-Rm6FDwSy-fz5RGNwOo9dle_JB3SeHr60oHaJb68c0xoWEN07PsEu7e-PSW1bqRnS-V2_yHuK5cmw94kVGzojUW4ia1DL/s400/250508_1933589513216_1646645184_1918036_4312625_n.jpg" /></a><br />Big sister, Madison is as sweet as ever! She is so much fun! We can have full on conversations with her now. She is so smart! She is in soccer this summer and she loves it! Chris takes her for an hour a week and they play together...its so sweet! Chris is on cloud 9 because he plays soccer and LOVES that Madi enjoys it. I was the only mom that was obsessing about how cute they looked in their uniforms instead of how good they play soccer! She also starts gymnastics in a few weeks...I can't wait for that!<br /><br /><br />Now that we have a yard and now that it's FINALLY nice out we plan on spending a lot of time outside. We ordered a swing set and it should be here on Thursday! Our backyard is fenced in so I am excited to just let Madi run run run! Too bad my allergies are horrible right now so I will be sneezing non-stop. I am nursing so I can't take anything, ugh!<br /><br /><br />Madison's first Goal!<br /><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzO2lKnjuQ29L2qaQz0ZqGYE3hTW-YZbmh4Byrq1Ohw9Le6PT1W5wdZBzOKzHRVemYnkmZ4sdvDhVdR33b7LA' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>ShannonLeidekerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04069738759814860753noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562439961862057870.post-26271213871931303042011-05-08T09:23:00.004-04:002011-05-08T09:40:30.684-04:00Mothers Day<div align="center"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604336157976524546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZKi44jvRwJCag3lPk1_tlotOSrkPEGyLxw3QnEqk7opH6hIcBRbmBg0yc1uQUnpIQzMJukYJvgnS8VcPbCXxEzrXngzzA2jrmYWqrjKJWBYnCOcbWdJ72n6xoHw9nKlCFiiDZNo2M7Chc/s400/SAM_0253.JPG" />My Mom snuggling my babies!</div><br /><div align="center"></div><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaKlQckonNg0Z3-vLXgAQEMaGI8zA1u58Ak7GGtWP6cBxFa9D0lQq2_ISvNxoMksAYTJbFwaYYg6BO5mbjy3bBSSSg-k2u51FWXlci38ckLDHJhGvlKvgP6QrtGesbxWJNxmjIakdXMcy2/s1600/sandymom.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 332px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604337418934456066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaKlQckonNg0Z3-vLXgAQEMaGI8zA1u58Ak7GGtWP6cBxFa9D0lQq2_ISvNxoMksAYTJbFwaYYg6BO5mbjy3bBSSSg-k2u51FWXlci38ckLDHJhGvlKvgP6QrtGesbxWJNxmjIakdXMcy2/s400/sandymom.bmp" /></a> My mother-in-law snuggling (can you tell my girls love to snuggle!)<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9-XIC5K5Axnkf2ny_Gt5-P4tJ3TgvkEamgiir8SVtkhN83jOShQdUp-6RewfZ5mB9J5VvDwZQ_nO0rgC_YnKRvY09qxC5IQkAXqMX5lpfSvl4Pl_33HFQIWVl-zl3RDrGn2vIC5cYHYbL/s1600/SAM_0328.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 225px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5604336147531722018" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9-XIC5K5Axnkf2ny_Gt5-P4tJ3TgvkEamgiir8SVtkhN83jOShQdUp-6RewfZ5mB9J5VvDwZQ_nO0rgC_YnKRvY09qxC5IQkAXqMX5lpfSvl4Pl_33HFQIWVl-zl3RDrGn2vIC5cYHYbL/s400/SAM_0328.JPG" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><p align="center">My beautiful babies and I</p><br /><p align="center"></p><br /><p align="center">I am so blessed!

We just moved into our new house and we finally have the Internet again! Also, I broke (shattered on the cement) my camera in July and have been borrowing my mom's since then. We finally got a new camera today, so hopefully I will start blogging more now! 8 days until baby Elly's arrival! We are beyond excited to meet our little baby girl! I finally feel settled in the house, so I am ready for a newborn! My last day of work was yesterday, thank goodness! I was going to work up until a couple days before but my feet/body/everything hurt so bad and so I decided I need to rest for a week before. I went to the doctor today and everything is all good. She is very low and ready to go! I will try and update the blog with pics/info. as soon as I can. I hope everyone is enjoying spring! We are trying but Michigan weather is so yucky!

I can't believe it's February already! And I can't believe it's been November since my last post...sorry! A lot has been going on this winter. Madi has grown up so much! She is almost 28 months old. She is into EVERYTHING! I am having a hard time keeping up with her lately, especially with my big belly! She is so sweet but she loves to test me...but that's a 2 year old for ya! She has big news...NO MORE DIAPERS! We started the 3-day potty training method on Friday and she has been doing great! She has been staying dry all throughout the day, nights are a different story but we are working on that. I am so proud of her! She is still really excited about having a little sister. She LOVES babies! She is gong to be a big help for me. I am training her to "go get mommy a diaper" and "give baby her paci". HAHA! We have decided on baby girls name...ELLYANA MARIE. (Pronounced EL-EE-ON-A) I will call her Elly for short. I am almost 31 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty good. My c-section is scheduled for March 31st!!!! Only 2 months away! We are moving into our new house this month and having a baby next month....crazy!

It's been forever...We have been so busy. I havent been posting or reading anyones posts. I hope everyone is doing well. We are having lots of fun this summer! We are moving this week and I am putting on a big bowling fundraiser that is today. Madison is doing great! She is funny, sassy and smart! She is 21 months already! CRAZY! Here is our summer in pictures so far. Plus the video is of Madison singing "I Love you" (Barneys). She burps in the middle of singing and it doesnt even phase her...so funny! I really need to charge my video camera and have to ready for cute moments like this. I always use my cell phone and it's horrible quality. But I guess its better than nothing! ENJOY! Ill be back to blogging when we get settled in a few weeks.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDd-V1UCbvvHvs-OVDlbcbfyAZuKb7J-gJ29acrPGprCp53x7G7hVysFiJxEKE_wRwboVhZuvIdQJyZPM-9fz7thriuNj_GqCnxHH6zLeBKJcJJvAVbmQzyVRKD8Y04RpedmSc7G5sweGv/s1600/35360_691418479918_25717848_36819162_2059967_n.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 301px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494486505159866546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDd-V1UCbvvHvs-OVDlbcbfyAZuKb7J-gJ29acrPGprCp53x7G7hVysFiJxEKE_wRwboVhZuvIdQJyZPM-9fz7thriuNj_GqCnxHH6zLeBKJcJJvAVbmQzyVRKD8Y04RpedmSc7G5sweGv/s400/35360_691418479918_25717848_36819162_2059967_n.jpg" /></a>Madi and her cousins, A (5 years) and A (2 years)</div><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWSFoqcWbTnQEQ0zSqKGCnQIDcssoXQNhqz6gqanXUN74xit6R8HMOVDSo920n_cgZ9anWDIFxJnlXqh4IN_qA-7urHgLUgkcn4rX9P3Fwn1tJP2C4U5nXq8TaDAOCzhJWZjC6-NWe0jm4/s1600/franks1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494486495778428818" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWSFoqcWbTnQEQ0zSqKGCnQIDcssoXQNhqz6gqanXUN74xit6R8HMOVDSo920n_cgZ9anWDIFxJnlXqh4IN_qA-7urHgLUgkcn4rX9P3Fwn1tJP2C4U5nXq8TaDAOCzhJWZjC6-NWe0jm4/s400/franks1.jpg" /></a> Matching Cousins, C and Madi<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2IgkBf3eOOkRbabvFWTOHhUhBwWdjuEW_Jz6oiouMZ211x8XEQtaOpsDmqjg-s4wR9quRNbeKn11uRNUoaHka46fcHFprz1DmqEZ1KxXlvp9c0iQpsotr-JGGqRJlEc2sxNyWaHRJ_4I5/s1600/franks2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494486491622878978" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2IgkBf3eOOkRbabvFWTOHhUhBwWdjuEW_Jz6oiouMZ211x8XEQtaOpsDmqjg-s4wR9quRNbeKn11uRNUoaHka46fcHFprz1DmqEZ1KxXlvp9c0iQpsotr-JGGqRJlEc2sxNyWaHRJ_4I5/s400/franks2.jpg" /></a> Madison, You are so cool!!<br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5UkgNMU-onzrsDVe8jEMgyowQyBrNTXLY7h6-rHHzU10COE469-nymEe8UpOnGRoWHVgjAUizrcY9Fj2NCXvmzoQ_kIcMS8OBE8HtbBZB3wJgFEojZkPGNXF0RgwO3kdX0uzZNVEgOn3l/s1600/P1050309.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494486481140207522" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5UkgNMU-onzrsDVe8jEMgyowQyBrNTXLY7h6-rHHzU10COE469-nymEe8UpOnGRoWHVgjAUizrcY9Fj2NCXvmzoQ_kIcMS8OBE8HtbBZB3wJgFEojZkPGNXF0RgwO3kdX0uzZNVEgOn3l/s400/P1050309.JPG" /></a> 4th of July Concert<br /><div><br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 301px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494485085019010994" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjx3OD9rNFXQEJX4lS51TQCRpJhOMBBGnVKTJTTVIeHEW85PN8uf39ylb4hiU6334oCPIu8_IsLBVOz9RHCTrsgSjd1oO5OR57_a1c0PumTRDRtvhFNQ473NjTzZJRrHYqrBX2AWe2cjhNU/s400/4th5.jpg" />Relaxing in my new Pj's</div><div></div><div></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMUfdJXy0tBDrXGhcvT_hmrXexoVxPjeXgTba4PaXIwyBlysfL1jRZ30w83HUlQ-O5rqlR-sIO0-ZXipgSfQbTEHWQCBz0TjxIR9K5UdjtMWWUBHmNf_b7xrowtesIAPmhmTLI38pYoZPp/s1600/P1050329.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5494485086680466594" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMUfdJXy0tBDrXGhcvT_hmrXexoVxPjeXgTba4PaXIwyBlysfL1jRZ30w83HUlQ-O5rqlR-sIO0-ZXipgSfQbTEHWQCBz0TjxIR9K5UdjtMWWUBHmNf_b7xrowtesIAPmhmTLI38pYoZPp/s400/P1050329.JPG" /></a> She LOVES hats!

She screamed through the echo and EKG but she didn't move. She was so freaked out that she didn't move, which was good. But I know it was still really hard for the echo tech to do his job with her screaming for the full 30 minute echo!! I kept saying sorry and he said not to worry because she was the best one of the day! Dr. C came in after reviewing the images and said her heart looked GREAT! I was so relieved! She said everything is looking as it should. Her pulmonary veins were a little small like they were last year but they ARE growing. Last year at her appointment her PV was barely even leaking but this time it was leaking a little bit more. Last year Dr. C didn't think she would ever need another surgery but has changed her mind this year. Madison will need a PVR (Pulmonary Valve Replacement) in her teens. This is pretty standard for TOF kids, so it was not a shock. BUT her heart looked good and the great news is.....we don't need another check until she is 3!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING! We are very happy!</div><div align="left">*</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="center"></div><div align="left">We are so blessed to have such a wonderful Pediatric Cardiologist....Dr. C is the best doctor EVER! She is so caring and loving. She lets Madison sit on her lap and play with her chart. She always hugs on her and makes Madison feel so comfortable. She is so smart and I completely trust her. Her entire staff is amazing! They try SO hard to make the kids feel as comfortable and happy as possible. My mom got her a mug from Hallmark that said "Taking care of hearts is my business", so I gave that to her at our appointment. She loved it!

Information came from <a href="http://www.donatelife.net/index.php">Donate Life America</a>.<br /><br /><strong><em><span style="color:#993399;">FACTS:</span></em></strong><br /><br />Despite continuing efforts at public education, misconceptions and inaccuracies about donation persist. Learn these facts to help you better understand organ, eye and tissue donation:<br /><br /><strong>Fact</strong>: Anyone can be a potential donor regardless of age, race, or medical history.<br /><br /><strong>Fact</strong>: All major religions in the United States support organ, eye and tissue donation and see it as the final act of love and generosity toward others.<br /><br /><strong>Fact</strong>: If you are sick or injured and admitted to the hospital, the number one priority is to save your life. Organ, eye and tissue donation can only be considered after you are deceased.<br /><br /><strong>Fact</strong>: When you are on the waiting list for an organ, what really counts is the severity of your illness, time spent waiting, blood type, and other important medical information, not your financial status or celebrity status.<br /><br /><strong>Fact</strong>: An open casket funeral is possible for organ, eye and tissue donors. Through the entire donation process the body is treated with care, respect and dignity.<br /><br /><strong>Fact</strong>: There is no cost to the donor or their family for organ or tissue donation."<br /><br /><em><span style="color:#993399;"><strong><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">STASTICS</span>:</strong></span></em><br /><em></em><br />Although there have been advances in medical technology and donation, the demand for organ, eye and tissue donation still vastly exceeds the number of donors.<br /><br />*More than 100,000 men, women and children currently need life-saving organ transplants.<br /><br />*Every 10 minutes another name is added to the national organ transplant waiting list.<br /><br />*An average of 18 people die each day from the lack of available organs for transplant.<br /><br />*In 2009, there were 8,021 deceased organ donors and 6,610 living organ donors resulting in 28,465 organ transplants.<br /><br />*Last year, more than 42,000 grafts were made available for transplant by eye banks within the United States.<br /><br />*According to research, 98% of all adults have heard about organ donation and 86% have heard of tissue donation.<br /><br />*90% of Americans say they support donation, but only 30% know the essential steps to take to be a donor."ShannonLeidekerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04069738759814860753noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8562439961862057870.post-2924170996306380642010-05-10T21:55:00.004-04:002010-05-10T22:11:10.302-04:00New blog to follow...CICI's DIY<div align="left">Feeling creative?

She is growing up SO fast! She is so energetic and happy. She is 26 lbs. 34 inches (SO tall!), wearing 24 month clothing and a size 5-6 shoe. She is talking so much! She says about 57 words...but who's counting! ha! She is very advanced in talking. I talk non-stop so she is just taking after me! She learns a new word almost everyday and doesn't forget! She also can somewhat count, sing parts of songs like abc's, row your boat, itsy bitsy spider and knows almost all of her body parts. My favorite, of course, is when she puts her hand on her chest and says "HEART". Melts MY heart every time! Speaking of her heart...I was a little concerned about her for a while. She was tiring out really easy for a few weeks and I was really nervous it was her heart. She was supposed to have her annual heart check-up in July but I got it moved up to May 19th. I am nervous and ready to get it over with! I am sure her heart is doing great BUT you never know what is happening in those little bodies. I am also worried that she will have a fit when they are doing the echo...Do any of you heart moms have any suggestions on how to keep her still? Anyways, Madison is SUCH a joy!
