A Look Back at 2013 - SEPTEMBER (Part 2)

Riverloop Amphitheater

Cedar River

When we were leaving the Amphitheater, we saw this OLLIE HEART on the cement wall.


 HAPPY 35th BIRTHDAY TO ME!
Transitioning into middleagedom...
(Anyone remember the SNL skit... "Middle Aged Man"?) 

 I think I'm 7 months pregnant here.

 Birthday dinner at Galleria de Paco.  (Click on the purple link to learn more about the restaurant.)
It was my first time going there and I heard it was really amazing inside.  The ceiling and walls were all done with aerosol paint, by an artist from Bosnia that is our age.  Just unbelievable!  The food was REALLY good, but I make a better lava cake!  Sadly, it was just solid and it didn't ooze out, but it was flaming so that was pretty cool.  I loved it there and the manager was really nice, too!  I saw an OLLIE HEART in my salad in the form of a craisin.  Wishing me a Happy Birthday... my sweet boy!


After we ate at the Galleria de Paco, we went out to the cemetery to visit Oliver.  The sunset was absolutely gorgeous out there!  The clouds started out orange and turned pink and purple.  Just beautiful.

When Ed and I got home from the cemetery, one of the boys spilled a glass of water and when I went to clean it up, I saw another OLLIE HEART!  Two in one day for the mom on her birthday.  My heart was full...



STUDENT OF THE MONTH
Eden was the student of the month for Mrs. Klein's 5th grade class so we brought her some Wendy's for lunch.  I love my kids and I'm so proud of them!



 My mom and I saw this AMAZING rainbow as we were leaving her school and were getting into the car to go out to dinner together.  It was the most vibrant one I've ever seen.  I could see every single color!  Made me think of Oliver and Sadie Huish, another sweet DIPG angel who loved rainbows.





GROUT MUSEUM / FIVE SULLIVAN BROTHERS MUSEUM
Playing in the 'dirt' at the farming area.  We saw the planetarium show and learned about some constellations and he even got to hold a real moon rock that he looked thrilled about!  Jaren in 'American Gothic', in front of the Sullivan Brothers statue outside.

My sweet little astronaut, Jaren, age 6.
