No?

He says a lot of other things too, but only Row knows what is he saying. He NEVER stops talking. Ever.

RIP Dodgers Season 2008

There are no words to describe the disappointment that we feel. All I can say is, "Go, Rays!"

Pumpkin Patch 2008

Fall has finally come to the desert, and while it's still 75 degrees, we are very pleased that it no longer 110 degrees. We actually had to wear long pants and sweatshirts to the pumpkin patch, which made us feel like we were really out in the elements. Halloween is just around the corner... just wait until you see Row's costume.

Highlights and Lowlights

Several exciting things have happened in the last few weeks at our house:

Highlights

1. Our new (and only) shopping center opened in our town! I visited the Super Target on the first day that it opened. Pure bliss. Row also got to enjoy his first very blue Slurpee (how do you spell that?) all to himself so that I could shop in peace. I know, I know, bribing with food is not a good habit to get into, but it was Super Target and I had a lot of stuff to see. I didn't even get close to covering the whole store.

2. Grandma Alice is visiting us for a few weeks. It is great to have her here and a few extra full-time hands around the house.

3. J's business has really picked up. Whoo hoo!!

4. I found out that it is not the cookies, ice cream, french fries, and lack of exercise making me fat; it's my thyroid. (okay, so maybe the thyroid is not entirely the problem, but hopefully the medication will restore some of my energy and get me moving at the gym again.)

Lowlights

1. Row has been using the word, "no" for a couple of weeks now, but this week he really seems to have a firm grasp on the word and its meaning, and uses it liberally. UGH.

2. Since J is busy again, I am back to typing his reports. BORING, (but thankful for the money that results from the reports.)

3. Row pooped in the tub.
