Post Season Baseball

Go Cards!  'Nough said.

MRI

MRI Monday-nothing new, lesions are still too small to do anything about, so no new chemo for the time being.  Next MRI, more then likely January.

On another note, Blogger problem *might* be fixed, so I might be around more :)

Fall, the season, not me!

Fall is rapidly approaching.

Between this and my Salted Caramel Mocha, I am excited.  What things do you associate with fall?

Boeing Day at the Zoo

Saturday was Boeing Day at the St. Louis Zoo.  This "team building" exercise gave Eric's Boeing section a great excuse to play outside.   We had fantastic weather; our first taste of fall temperatures.        The highlight was seeing the new Sea Lion, (not seal), show.  Boeing had an entire section just for employees, so we had prime seats.

Vacation Pics!!  Click on the link for our vacation pictures.

We had a weekend in Terre Haute, Indiana with Eric's family and then drove to the Philadelphia area for the week. 

Some of the highlights were:

*Almost sleeping at a rest stop in Ohio, due to full hotels because of the storms.
*Driving through the mountains of PA and MD
*Hershey's Chocolate World
*Crayola Experience-ended up with more crayons then I could imagine!!
*Sesame Place
*Independence Hall and The Liberty Bell
*GENO'S CHEESESTEAK!!
*Driving to NJ just for ice cream
*WaWa hopping
*Please Touch Museum-though I don't think I would go back

As you have noticed, there are not that many pictures.  I had to borrow my MIL's camera and it died about half way through the trip.  Instead of taking the PA Turnpike through the state we went south and drove through Maryland and West Virginia and then on the way back, we drove through Deleware, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, and then to Indiana to see the fam for the weekend.  Couple that with a jaunt to New Jersey to hit a Carvels and we were busy busy folks.  We had a great time and only had some minor issues.  We didn't have any traffic problems until KY and then all kinds of issues.  Our marriage, child, and car survived.  It was a long time on the road, but worth every minute!

Birthday Boy!  We celebrated Alex’s 4^th birthday on the 19^th.  His big surprise this year was  a swingset.  Grandma Barbara and Grandpa David came down to help celebrate.

Preschool Birthday!

Preschool year one down…fourteen more years to go.  Can I just make it stop now?!?  Alex made it through his first official school year with flying colors.  He loved going to school and seeing his buddies, Hunter and Leo.  His confidence has blown through the roof since he began last fall.  Some of his favorite activities include block building, (if you’ve been to my house this is NOT a shock), music class, and playing outside.  While academically he is ready for kindergarten, (and in some cases 1^st grade), he is way too young to be starting formal school.  Therefore, he will increase his preschool days to three half days this fall.  It also so happens that his birthday fell on the next to last day of school.  Happy Birthday!!
