1. There is some hope for kids with the antibodies or kids at risk for Type 1 diabetes. Apparently, they are testing a new insulin pill, that would delay or prevent the onset of diabetes. They say that it has delayed the onset up to five years in humans. It is never a good time to have the onset occur, but I would have
been very grateful if my 4 year old niece could have been a kid for a little longer before her world was turned upside down. http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=health&id=5657058This could also help my other niece and nephew who are at high risk for developing diabetes. MaKenna was just tested for the antibodies and she does not have them, which means there is a good chance she won't have diabetes. Yea!!!!!! Cyrus has to be at least a year old to test, so we don't know yet if he has the antibodies.
2. There is a test to see what kind of mutt you have. That is very exciting to me because I have no clue what Porter is. Every one has their own opinion, and they are so different. I have heard Great Dane, Grey Hound, Ridgeback, German Shepard...the list could go on. I just say he is Porter, but this test will
tell you what breeds make up your dog. It sounds crazy, but I would spend the $150.00 just to know. Hmmm...maybe that should be Porter's x-mas present. Although, I am pretty sure he would be happy with just a bone. http://www.thedenverchannel.com/family/14562676/detail.htmlI was really watching the news today to see if it was ever going to snow here. Don't I live in Colorado now? It was like 75 degrees yesterday! Don't get me wrong, I love the warm weather, but I can't get into the x-mas mood when it is that warm, and I am ready for the holidays!

1. That is great news about MaKenna
2. I'm so glad you have a blog so we can keep up with you!
3. This thing is a pain in the ass to comment on - I had my whole comment written out and then it made me go to a whole nother page to create an account, effectively deleting all that I had written! Hopefully, it will go much smoother now that I am an official Google Blogger Member(whatever that is...)
Wow, Kristin! You're an official member. Maybe you will get a premium reward. Or a membership card. Or a gold star! :-)
Anna - I had to smile when I saw that you were into Cohutta because as I watched The Real World I thought, "THAT is the kind of guy Anna needs to meet." Maybe it was meant to be. Any plans to move to Georgia? :-)
