Life is an occasion- Rise to it!

That is my favorite line from the movie Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium . Last night Troy could tell that I was feeling a little depressed (two days ago Aliyah came down with croupe and yesterday I was out of commission with a breast infection) and since Aliyah was being taken care of by my wonderful mother-in-law so I could take it easy, he took me out to a movie. This movie was exactly what I needed- a story about magic and joy and believing in yourself- needless to say, I loved it. So, if you're in the mood for some fantastic nonsense and the deeper meanings of Mr. Magorium's babblings, this is the flick for you.

Gavin Update: Well, it looks like we've come back up on our medical roller coaster ride! Gavin has demonstrated no signs of the level of illness he should have from the ecoli, and that has led the doctors to believe that his blood sample may have been contaminated somehow in the testing process (in other words, they DON'T think he has ecoli). They are treating him for it anyway, but he does not appear to be sick. He is on two antibiotics for the pneumonia and is doing so well that they are having a hard time finding any traces of it in his fluids. He does still have a lot of fluid in his lungs so they are not going to take him off the ventilator just yet, but once again they are telling us that his progress through all of this is remarkable. He really is our little fighter! (Thanks for the baby boxing gloves Janean!)
