"October gave a party
The leaves by hundred came-
the Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,
and leaves of every name.
The Sunshine spread a carpet,
and everything was grand,
Miss Weather led the dancing,
Professor Wind the band".
~George Cooper, October's Party
OCTOBER ~ An Overview
Danny Boy celebrated his 3rd Birthday on Oct. 3rd.
His only question: "Do I get to go to Disneyland like Chaya did?"
We traded in my little blue Miata, affectionately dubbed "the go-cart" by Bobby, and bought a Mazda CX7, silver, just like this beauty above.
Brad celebrated his 27th Birthday on the 6th. His biggest present was Lu completing the Chicago Marathon on the 11th.
Oh Lu! I, for one, was very proud of you! Twenty six miles is a L*O*N*G way-an accomplishment no one else in the family can claim. I know you thought of things during those four hours plus that you couldn't wait to eat ! Was it Reese's peanut butter cups ?
On the 15th, Hallelujah and glory be ! Bobby received his back end check !!!
Ma Dolly's advice: Don't do it !
Natalie celebrated her 29th Birthday on the 19th. One more Natalie until the big 3-0 !
Then there was Squish ! He got hit hard with the swine flu. Mommy too ! They are both on the mend.
Bobby headed for a cruise to Mexico on the 29th. He reported that it was a blast & he loved it! He recommends that we all take a family cruise together. C'mon party people! How about next Christmas ?!?
Halloween festivities came at the end of the month. Danny was a dragon, well, at least for a little while!
Chaya was a beautiful fairy.
Bradoc was...yep, you guessed it. A dinosaur !!! How appropriate !
Squish couldn't go trick or treating. He was too sick :(
I was a ladybug. Very appropriate for territhegardener !
If I over looked anybody or anything special, I'm sorry :)
What memories will November bring ?
