AND a visit to Romyn's to see Jacque and Rick

Romyn's Country Home was where Pop Pop Richards stayed til he came home to live with us....This family is the GREATEST and we can't thank them enough for ALL they did for us and Pop. They were really happy to see John and so were ALL the residents too!

John's visit to Wegman's Deli to see Shelly:)

We surprised Shelly with John...she was busy in her office but she took time to stop and hold John. We've been friends with the Wegman Family ----well----FOREVER.. I just had to take some mac. and pot. salad home and Keith bought some cheese ...mmmmm

We took OUR pumpkin to the Pumpkin Patch!

I asked Di to bring John in something that would go good with pumpkins...Well, can you believe this outfit?..It was a little chilly so we had to keep the hoody on...but you get the idea!
We sat John amongst the pumpkins in his boppy and that worked! What fun we had!
Keith liked this shot the best cause John really looked relaxes - even crossed his legs!

Sunday afternoon RACES!

Here's Cayton with 1 of his 4 cars....He started racing when he was 4 1/2 years old..he's now "almost" 11 and has traveled all over the USA racing. We drove to Honeybrooke (about 1/2 away) to watch him race and out of 10 cars in the race he came in 3rd... Not bad when you're racing against kids up to 17 years old. Can you tell we're very proud of Cayton ....and he's a straight "A" student too, winning the science contest at his school each year. Tim and Becky are doing a GREAT JOB! note: Tim was one of Keith's students at school, grad. in 84 and worked for us in our catering business from the time he was 17....they ARE family!....
Unless you've experienced one of these quarter midget races - you can't imagine how fast and SAFE these kids are...it's a real thrill to watch.. Love you Cayton!!! Aunt Ree

We're Rooting for the Phillies!!!

Di brings John dressed for that days' activity....and we're watching the Phillies...GREAT GAMES so far...
But John just wants to be on Dad's Team!!:)

Today he rolled over...and over...and over..What fun!

When Di brought John this morning she said she found that he had rolled over in his crib... So when she left and he was playing on the floor, I turned around and what do you know...he rolled over....and over.. He was having such a good time. Entertained himself for the longest time....everything was so new! He wore himself out and slept for 2 1/2 hours!

A VERY Rainy Long Weekend at Hershey:(

We pulled into Hershey around 9:30 a.m.Thurs. John was in Keith's car and I drove the RV. John slept from the time we left home til we arrived at Hershey - about an hour. You can see he had no trouble settling into the RV.

Steve and Di arrived after work on Thurs. It had started to rain - and rain - and rain. But it didn't stop us from having some great family time tog. Friday they took John and went to Choc. World and the Outlets Shopping.
Harry, Karen, Carlton, Cal, Keith and I played a few games of Pickleball before the rain came down again.
Sat. Steve and Di took off to do some shopping and have a nice lunch tog. We took care of John. It was raining very hard...I bet we got 4 inches of rain all tog. Here's John getting used to driving the RV just before they left for home on Sunday. It was a great weekend and we can't wait to do it again in the spring of 2009.
