Alex s b-day

The family got together for a little pizza and KFC to celebrate Alex's 18th B-day. There were scary movies, itunes, cash, shirts, and of course the flying toys. The flying toys have become a tradition for Alex's b-days. I can't remember exaxtly when the first time was but we have been out pulling toys off the roof for many years. And in case you're wondering about the label, every year we go through the "what do you want this year" question. There is always the threat of socks and underware if he can't give some good suggestions for gifts.

18 - no way

I kept fighting the signs of old age but when your little baby turns 18 its done and over... I'm officially old!
Alex will be celebrating his 18th birthday this weekend. The family will be getting together on Sunday to welcome the 6 foot "man" to adulthood.
I think he's still worried I'm going to follow through with my 18 and out rule- I should have a bunch of bags packed with his name on them and see if he panics- but that would just be cruel.

I'll post some photo's of the get together soon.

temporary apartment

I have received word that Kathy has moved into her temporary apartment. She is waiting for the wifi access to be activated so she can start blogging.
She will start her seach for her apartment soon and have to move again. Hopefully she will settle in and relax a little once she finds her new place and gets her stuff out of storage. She has been eating out a lot which is a new thing for Kathy and not entirely sucessful, at least she found "baked potato chips" so she won't go hungry!

Varsity team

Good news...Alex has just made the Varsity team!
He is on the track and field team where he throws the disk and shot put.
His first meet is on 4-15-09.
Way to go Alex!

a new chapter begins

Its down to the last week. Kathy takes off to start her new position in Europe at the end of the week.
