Earlier this week, Jo saw Dr. Anderlini one last time before hitting the road. In 10 minutes, the various hospital employees used the words, "graft vs. host disease" (GVHD) about 40 times. We get it. GVHD is the primary concern going forward and we have to watch for anything and everything that seems abnormal. Trust me. We'll keep a close eye on Jo. I promise. Now bring me a margarita please!
Speaking of margaritas, I don't think I can really convey how much fun we've had with David, BeLynda and the Triplets these past 9 months. Okay, Anna and I probably had more fun than Jo, but Jo had a LOT of fun too! In the category of making the absolute best of a less than perfect situation, the Smith Family gets an A+. Thank you for sharing so much of your lives with us this past year! We love you and we can't wait to see what the future holds for our two families.
Jo and Anna flew off to Minnesota early Wednesday morning where they found the high temperatures to be very similar to the Houston winter. I heard it snowed in the Colorado mountains about 10 days ago, so I guess highs in the 60s isn't all that bad!

Thanks for keeping us informed with the blog entries, Tim. I loved the photo in your previous post. That is exactly how I remember Jo when I was one of her dance students in Lufkin. I'm so glad she's traveled the world as a dance instructor since then. She's too good to teach just in one city, and from photos of Anna's recital on the Smith's blog, it looks like Anna will be following in her footsteps with similar dancing talent. I'm sure many people are looking forward to Jo's return to teaching. Most of all, we are happy she has survived this year in fine form.

Dear Jo,
We are a group (South Bay Happy Feet) of line dancers in Torrance, CA. We love your dances and dance them all the times. We danced and recorded 3 of your dances at our annual party on 12/4/11. These 3 videos are our tributes to you and wish you a happy holiday.
