My Trip to Missouri
I find it hard to believe I haven't written in my blog for 6 weeks. So much has happened that time has just flown by and yet sometimes it feels like it is crawling. The first couple of weeks of September found me fighting an unofficial diagnosis of the Swine Flu. It was horrible!!!
September 10 -24 I was in Missouri visiting with Mycal and Stephanie as we impatiently waited for Baby to put in his/her appearance.
However, Emmuska, Liberty and I made good use of our time . . .
. . . reading "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" and other stories . . .
. . . dressing up in Grandma's Hat and Glasses . . .
. . . creating a masterpiece for dinner, namely Seven Layer Dip. It was a hit in more ways than one! . . .
... the much coveted Brocolli Casserole . . .
and of course we can NOT forget the incredibly nutritious Missouri Backyard Stew.
In my spare time I took Self Defense lessons from Mycal. . .
. . . helped him put up a fence in the backyard. He dug the holes and I took the pictures . . .
. . . and then I watched as he entertained the children by blowing bubbles.
Just before I left I began to question if there really was a baby or if it was just one of Mycal and Stephanie's infamous tricks to get me to visit. It entered my mind that she had just put a soccer ball under her shirt so she would APPEAR to be pregnant.
I am happy to report that my suspicions were unfounded and there really was a baby. Samuel David chose to arrive 3 days after I returned home. If you would like to see pictures go to Stephanie's Blog

Eiffel Tower
The Eiffel Tower is an incredible edifice. It was built in the 1880's. It is the tallest building in Paris. The people of Paris actually hated the structure and wanted it taken down after the World's Fair in 1892. However, today it is loved by the Parisan people and has brought over 200 million visitors to France.
It is very intimidating during the day, but at night it is spectacular. On our first night in Paris our bus driver arranged for us to be driving toward it just as the lights came on at 10:00 pm. The lights are on for only 5 minutes so it is quite difficult to time it just right (traffic in Paris is NOT accomodating to anyone trying to get anywhere!).
