Last of September

http://picasaweb.google.com/thehughesfamily1/Braydon1Year?feat=directlinkSo I have had this post typed for the last few weeks and things have come up that kept pushing me back from posting it.  1. Braydon was sick with a stomach bug for a week and required that I spend all of my time holding him, he is so lovey when he is sick.  2. I got his bug and was up in bed all weekend and it took all my strength to even log onto the computer to do my homework.  3. Chris and I went to Paris.  Lastly, I wanted to attach pictures and kept forgetting to upload them.   So here is my long over due post about the last weekend in September.

The weekend of September 25-26 was the last of our busy weekends for awhile, at least I think it is. On Friday I had a luncheon for Ombudsman Appreciation month.  It was a nice luncheon and I got a wonderful gift of flowers, scented lotions and a massage from the command.  I also got a gift from the Naval Air Station Sigonella base, it had a ceramic plaque, movie and bowling pass, scented lotions and a 40th Anniversary Ombudsman coin.  After the luncheon I headed home to prepare for a going away party we were having at our house later.  The weather didn't hold out for the party and we all ended up huddling under our car port.  Even though the weather wasn't nice we all had a good time, my head told me so the next morning :)

Saturday we went to the Autumn Festival the base was throwing.  They had food booths, rides, games, and vendors from around Sicily.  We ended up buying some wine and pesto.  I took Braydon down a giant inflatable slide and then went to let him play in the bouncy house with all the other little kids.  He was having fun until this lady went in to get her daughter out and bowled him over.  After that he didn't want to go back in and was clinging to me for the rest of the evening.

Sunday was the relaxing day just lounging around the house and doing nothing.  It was nice to relax after having such a busy past few weeks.  Now that the weekends over I have to clean my house, do laundry, do homework, and go to the market.  I still can't believe that it is October, but yet I'm thankful for it to be here.  This coming month is Halloween and my trip away with Chris to Paris :)
