If it's October it must be visitin' time for this MeMa.
First stop: Northern Virginia and Becky's family. Mom is off to a work convention in Phoenix so I went to help Gerald keep everyone fed, in clean clothes, get to lessons and school. It was a busy week.

 |
| Guess what Ellie was learning about at Pre-School this month? |
 |
| We redeemed those birthday Build-A-Bear gift cards |
With all this work we needed a little adventure.... did I say the kids skipped school for a day? I had parental permission, I swear! So off we went to the Port Discovery Children's Museum in Baltimore for a very fun day! I freely admit to being more than a little stressed driving and navigating by myself in the rain, but we made it through without getting lost, in good time even. (the power of prayer!) We had a great day there, as you can see. Coming home was a different matter: 3 hours. Gotta love Washington DC traffic.

| Don't you think she looks too comfortable? and will doing the real thing before we know it! |

Gerald had a gig playing with the McLean Symphony and provided tickets for Scout and I to attend his wonderful concert.

Next stop: home to Houston to see to Rio and Gus, attend to my shifts at the Temple and Distribution Center. Time enough also to sort mail, do a load of wash and repack. Thank you Vanessa for house-sitting.
Last stop: Mary's family in Orlando for a long weekend. Mary was in need of some adult conversation as Stuart was working out of town all month. Glad to help!
We had a fun afternoon at a new playground after school one day.

| King and Queens of the play structure! |

I still marvel when I see her doing things like this and again, give a silent thanks to Almighty God and modern medicine.
