I went with Kirk to donate blood to the Red Cross. I knew that we used to not be allowed to donate because we lived in England, but I thought it was a 10 year no-donate or something, so I decided to try.

Before you donate, they want you to read a binder full of information about donating, then have an interview with a staff person. I skimmed through the manual and saw nothing about England, so I went in for the interview. It turns out there is a page that discusses people who have lived in the UK for over a month, but it was labelled something else like CCBI or some other non-identifying acronym. Anyway, the interviewer was a bit cross with me and printed me up a rejection letter. She had me sign it and told me never to come back.

So, immediate Groneman Family, don't try to donate blood.

Well, for the last couple of months, Buffy has been sleeping in the daytime and working nights which has made me suspicious, but then I've been having this pain in my neck in the mornings when I wake up......bottom line: I don't think I have extra blood to donate anyway.

Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
