3-28-09 Alex's first phone call

I walked in the door an Friday night. Alex came running to greet me. "Brian called me !!!! Brian called me!!!"
What????? "Mom I gave him my number and he called me!!!" You would have thought it was Ed McMann telling him that he just won something. Todd said the phone ran and a little voice asked for Alex S. So he handed the phone over to Alex. They chated for a few minutes and then they hung up. He was so happy. It was his first official non family member phone call. My little boy is growing up..

3-22 Playdate

Since Alex has been so good this year with tax season, he got a special treat this Sunday. I had made arrangements with his friends mom to have a playdate. So we went to the mall and visited with the Easter Bunny, Then to the Castle park for some outside fun. Then they played a bit of Wii, Everyone had a good time.

You can barely see Alex's head in this one.

The bell tower.

Alex had their Choir concert last night. I went straight from work. I got there in time to do a quick check of Alex's outfit. Clean jeans, shirt tucked in, tie on, clean face. ok he was ready to go. So I run back and sit down with Dad and Todd. A few minutes latter in walk the Kindergarteners. What happened? Tie in hand, shirt hanging out... oh well you gotta love um. It was really cute. Took about 1/2 hour. Alex is on top stair in the yellow area.

Alex was a big help with the snow this winter. This is not a grainy picture. It is still snowing and he wanted to go out and shovel. More power to ya kid. These pic's were taken late Feb.

2-7-09 Trip to Detroit Zoo

Well Sat. was 46 and I had the day off and so did Todd. The four of us went to the Detroit Zoo. I never had been to the zoo in the winter. It was fun. No crowds,and some of the animals that normally just sit there were moving around. We got to see the giraffees but I forgot to get pic's of them.
