A Lot to Catch up On!

I am so happy you all enjoyed Preston’s concert. I have not updated on what has been going on around here. The past two days I have tried again to figure out Facebook’s new layout (dammit can’t they leave well enough alone) and change the 250 friend option to like 5000 so this way I can read the status updates of everyone.  I love how Facebook has taken the liberty to try to choose who I would like to read about and even suggested that I should write on my mom’s wall to “reconnect” with her.  I was sitting in the library-she was in the den.  Pretty sure if I needed to reconnect I could just say “Mom!” The only good thing is blocking Mafia Wars and Farmville.  No offense, but I don’t have pink elephants to give.  (And you guys all know there are no such thing as a pink elephant and even if there was a pink elephant it would not go on a farm). I digress.  Last weekend was so damn cold for October.  But Preston insisted on going out to fetch the paper:

We had to run into Pier 1 and Preston thought this mask was cool:

Sunday was another blustery, miserable day, so we drove into Richmond to take Preston to Bottoms Up Pizza.  It was one of the first restaurants Preston ever went to in Richmond.  It is located right next to the train trestles so you can imagine the excitement.

Friday we went to Hopkins for his annual appointment with Dr. Ain.  We spent about ten minutes talking New York sports with Dr. Ain first (he is from Long Island and a big Yanks fan too).  Preston was told he looks like “a million bucks.”  Then it was up to Dr. Tunkel in the ENT department.  Preston needs a new set of tubes as the right one finally has fallen out after almost two years and a sleep study.  This aggravates me because the tonsils are huge and need to come out and now I have to do a sleep study which should be miserable with an almost four year old.  But we will try to get this done within a few weeks so I can schedule the surgery hopefully right after the holidays.  I really am concerned about the tube because there is fluid already in the ear and I cannot deal with ear infections and the rounds of antibiotics.  I may ask Tunkel if we can go ahead and get the tubes here in VA.  The anesthesia for tubes will not affect his neck.  I’d like to get that done ASAP.  Here is Preston before taking off for Baltimore:

Yesterday was his fall festival at school.  I would post more about it but it will have to wait mid week as the Yankees and Giants are playing in five minutes.  Hope everyone had a great weekend!
