The Week in Pictures, in Semi-Random Order

Yesterday RJ started feeling pretty good for the first time since her surgery. Thus we were able to leave her floor and the no-sibling-swine-flu-quarantine-zone for a little reunion with her brothers, who she hasn't seen since last Thursday.

Upon seeing them she high-tailed it back towards her room, and I thought the visit was over before it started, until she grabbed her bag of cotton candy, which she'd tried for the first time ever earlier that afternoon. She was on a mission to share.

Bringing cotton candy to visiting brothers.

Visiting brothers.

Getting her a chair-hair-wash. Cute but unhappy being photographed.

A tree covered in netting in the Med Center between our room and Chipotle, where one can go for good guacamole and tolerable margaritas if someone else is briefly minding little miss.

After taking Saturday night off while various grandmas cared for all the various kids. When this happens, there is no discussion about how Sunday morning will be spent. It's understood: cut church and head to Brasil with the Sunday Times. I always get the Big Waffle with Fruit, and read the Magazine first.

Oh, and I hope no one is disappointed not to see any out-the-window pics of cranes this time. We got, weirdly, the exact same room we had last time, leaving me bereft of a new or interesting view to photograph. I guess I could have continued my study of St. Luke's Hospital, a la that cathedral series that Monet did, but somehow I just didn't have it in me.
