Surprise Visit

Myra, Patrick and Morgandy surprised Alex,
as we went to see him in West Side Story.
He is terrific! We always come away so impressed!

The other highlight of the week-end was Morgandy!
Wish I had the camera when....

She chased the birds in the Atrium
Wanted some french fries from a young man
Wanted to pick the flower pattern off the carpet
Gestured several times for us to "come here"
Walked directly to our room, 4 doors down from their room.
Walked the halls, over and over again.

She doesn't let her pacifer keep her from talking...
She said tickle, tickle, tickle, thank you and ask "this?" as she points
to doors, floors, sinks, trash can, walls, shower curtains & shower.
We played that game over and over.
Her Papa ask if she was a princess and she always shook her head yes.

It was all so fun, only wish that our Lana & Nathan could have joined us.
It will happen, and then the time together will be complete.

Visiting Alex

Uncle Alex shares his warm hat...really cool!

Multi-tasking... balancing paper lid, holding shoes,
watching t.v. and staying cool...the hotel heat was horrible,
even with the heater off and the window cracked.

Navy Pier greeting by the Raggedy's and Pooh

Navy Pier Atrium... lots of room to run and play.

Who's who?

Love the serious look...Lana & Morgandy

What's Up?

Seems last week, I looked up alot. After Marcus was pulled from his week of work,with pay, (the Chief Pilot wanted his trips) we headed to the coast to see the Discovery land. As we walked into the Space Center, we heard that the shuttle was 22 minuted away, flying over Montana. Thought about my kids there and wished they were just 22 minutes away. Leaving the Space Center, we passed a couple that appeared to be Quaker. What a strange contrast, seeing them in the park.

Saturday, I was looking up, to see Marcus sky dive 5 times. I'm fine with staying a spectator, although it is fascinating.

We finally got some patio furniture, and sat outside to eat breakfast and play cards. What a treat.

I enjoyed a prosperous morning, going to Garage sales. Got a great breakfast table and chairs, a car seat and riding toys for Morgandy.

Today was crazy, with the painter, carpet layers, pest control, pool cleaner & lawn care all coming and going. I got the shopping list together, & got closets put back.

Now on to the Christmas shopping, & tree decorating. We are having our 1st Thanks-mas or Christ-giving. Having all our kids together, will be a pleasure.

Hope you enjoy feast & family next week!
