Catching Up

OK, this should get my sister off my back. Just catching up....can't believe the June post with picture of Alex's May birthday is not current enough for her.

Went home to WV for the summer. Spent a lot of time at the Sutton Swimming Pool....big fun!! Alex loved the pool..."Pool Break! Kids Out!!!!!" He especially loved the days that cousin Elizabeth (or EP as he calls her) was in town to play too!

Back to NYC for fall. Sean's back was REALLY messed up! Had to go to neurologist then on for spinal surgery. His doctor said it was the largest herniation he had ever removed. Sean is doing fantastic now....recovering very nicely!!

Fall has been good too. The Mountaineers are doing well and that always makes mommy happy!!! If you ask Alex, "What makes mommy happy?" He'll tell you, "Go Mountaineers!" My friend Jeannie was here in late September to visit her cousin Jo. It is always great to see friends. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge (Ba Sue's Bridge) and back across the Manhattan Bridge.

Alex is excited for Halloween. He picked out his own costume. We were in Old Navy, not even really looking for costumes. He spied a stuffed banana in the pocket of the monkey costume and said, "Banana!!" I showed him the monkey costume and he said, "Put on mommy." So I put the top on him. Then he demanded, "Pay! Pay!!" HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
