Belated October Update

It's only been 3 MONTHS since I posted on here!!! One might think that I'm a tad bit busy. Well, you're right!! Life happens!! Last week was heavenly, a great visit with Jen, Adam, and our babies. Please notice I said OUR babies. It was Preston's one year birthday. He has grown into such a love. He wants to eat whatever you're eating, so sometimes we have to trick him. We make believe we're eating his food and then he will too. Jen was really industrious, she decided to have a bunch of people over for cupcakes and ice cream. Well, Jen decided to have this affair outside, with a possibility of rain.
All was right with the world, no rain. She invited a few people, like everyone she saw or spoke to. I kept asking,"How many people are you talking to?" Adam and Poppy took out lots of chairs
and set up some borrowed tables. Long story short, it was like a block party!! I will miss the townhomes when they move, I will not miss the traveling to K.C. though. There is a great sense of community, a lot of students, and you can go outside at any given time and find someone to play with!
Preston has been having fun playing with his new toys. Gram got him some great musical toys.
Tommy and Preston have been playing with Grampy's gift, a train table. It's kind of hard to keep Tommy out of the room while Preston is sleeping though. We got him one of those musical activity tables. He stands by it and sometimes pushes it! He'll be walking before we know it! Poppy had fun watching Boomerang on TV. That is one of the kids and Poppy's fave stations.
Of course, Poppy does nap a little. Not to worry though, Paige gets right in his face and screams real loud, "WAKE, UP POPPY." That doesn't make him too happy though. Paige is a delight , she will run up and give you the biggest smooches and smacks. Kelly's lovin' you have to work a little harder for but when you get it it's worth it. Tommy loves his Poppy!! On the other hand, he will make believe he's going to hug me, then he runs the other way!! Life is good!!
Paige's b-day is next week. K.C. , here we come !!
Reza (Traci 's nickname) has not been feeling too well this week. She has had a really bad ear infection. She is still working on the side with sewing her doggy boutique items.
Melanie is crazy with her Masters classes she's taking. She is trying hard to keep her crazy life all together.
Michelle and Dave are enjoying Iowa City . Dave found a piano on "Craig's List". With the help of some buddies, they rented a van and brought it home last night. It's going to be Michelle 's Christmas present. I bet she can't wait to get some of her music up there! It needs tuning badly.
Well, hopefully I've been able to catch you up a little and not bore you to pieces.

Love ya, and remember... LIFE IS GOOD!!!
