Where did the month go?

What have we done the past few weeks? We tried to sneak outside on the few warm and dry days we have had. Mostly, we are in our normal routine and just enjoying life. We have done a few special things. One Saturday we went down to Union Station to see Mickey Mouse. Alex was so excited, he almost climbed up on the stage! We also looked at the neat model trains they have running in the lobby. Alex also attended his friend's birthday party. He had a great time running around and eating cake.

Alex is looking forward to Halloween and collecting candy. He now understands what is going to happen and is walking around the house with his candy bucket already!

Holt Picnic and Fall Fest

We made it through two action packed weekends and are looking forward to a quiet weekend at home at the end of this week. The last weekend in September we attended the Holt KC picnic. We talked to Eli, Cris and Larry and met some other adoptive families in the area. Alex and Eli had a great time and Alex crashed once we got home.

This past weekend, we went to Newton, KS to visit Eric's brother and family. It was also homecoming weekend, (Fall Fest) for his alma mater, Bethel College. Alex had fun walking around campus and playing at the petting zoo. He also enjoyed the antique cars on display and was busy showing us which ones had horns and which ones did not! Alex had fun playing with his cousins and was sad when it was time to head back home.
