December 1, 2007, Maca Christmas Party

This is friday evening and we are getting ready to host our annual Christmas Party on Saturday evening.



The Santa Hats are cleaned, as are the Reindeer antlers. The Bells are shined up to ring in the Carols and Koledy. The Christmas Tree is up and shining brightly. The Caroling books were updated to include some more Carols and corrected some of the old ones. Hoping that all that come will have an enjoyable time at our house. Of Course they will be wearing their RED TOPS.

Of course there are always the exceptions to this rule. I am sure that they will wear their RED TOPS this year.





Here are some pictures of last years party as we enjoyed ourselves.




Karen waited two more days before having the baby (Lily).
Is that Santa, and why is Wujek Koy laughing???



























Stefan videotaping the singing, as his usual job every year.

MAZOWSZE Sun Nov 18, 2007

We also went to see the Mazowsze Folk Dance Group. They performed at The Symphony Center downtown Chicago. We got to see a few people that we also saw at the Scout Zabawa on Saturday. The performance was great, it really made our toes go tapping. Reminded us of when we were in the Polonez Dance Group. That was quite a few years ago, when we performed. It has been ten years since the Mazowsze were in the Chicago area.

ZABAWA from Nov 17, 2007

Halina checking out the Silent Auction items.

A few pictures of us at the Zabawa "Obozowe Tango". It was held at Przybylo's White Eagle, and was chaired by the Polish Scouting Organization.

We all had a great time, especially since it has been a while since we got to dance and socialize together. It was nice seeing Dana and Lynn come in from Seattle to be with us here. Seeing faces from old scouting days. Well I was not in the Scouts, Suzia and Stef were in it, but I got to know most of the faces.

Did Diane do something exciting on Sunday??

You bet, well maybe not exciting but it was a little painful. She broke her left ankle, walking into her garage. Spent the evening in the E.R. room at Alexian Hospital.
As of Wednesday she has a cast on her left foot. She will be staying home for 4-6 weeks. Not going to work at all. So I think she will need a little phone contact or emails from us. How about a little get well note to her, to tell her we are thinking of her daily. The phone she said would be in her reach daily.




So here is to Diane GET WELL QUICK. We need you walking around soon.

Stefan's Bone Biopsy Nov 6, 2007

Stefan's appointment went pretty well,..well almost.... After the blood work, Doctor Olga started on his bone biopsy procedure. She tried the right side of his hip bone and could not find a spot to "drill into", so she tried again on the left side. This means that he was given and injection to numb the right side of his hip and now a "shot" to numb his left side. Finally she was able to get a spot to go into his left hipbone. The results "looked" okay for now she said. I will get a call on Wed or Thurs with the results from the lab.

Stefans' blood work was good, his WBC (white blood count) last time was 3.8 now it was 4.4,.... his RBC (red blood cells) were at? but they are now at 3.87, still low for now, need to be at least at 4.20,....... his HGB (hemoglobin) was 13.2 now it is 13.5,....... his PLT (platelets) were at 99 now they went up to 102. Still a ways to go, to get to the low level of 140-390 but he is climbing up to that spot.

Stefan went back to work after this episode with the doctor visit, by evening he was pretty sore to sit or stand, but he still played with the grandkids, Maddie, Stevie & Lily, who were over for the evening on Tuesday. They just wanted to see his band-aids on his back, which were right below his belt line.

Little Stevie has taken to sleeping with Dziadzia now and he was in bed right next to dziadzia when they went to sleep around 8:30pm.

STO LAT to Maciek Nov 6, 2007

Happy Birthday to you. Hope you enjoyed your Sushi dinner out in Homer Glen with the kids and Basia.

Yep, that is the year I came to the States with my mom, dad, sister Barbara and brother Adam. My other brother Daniel was born here in the USA. We landed at Midway Airport, there was no O'Hare at the time.
Seems like only 20 years ago, but I must have my math wrong, cause it really couldn't be that many years, I AM only 39.!!!!!! Well time and this country have been really good to me and my family. God Bless the USA.
