I figured it's about time to post again since Halloween is quite over now. I was asked by a couple of people how our trip to Cincinnati was since I hadn't posted about it yet. My camera was MIA when we went so Chris' mom graciously sent all of the pictures from the trip to me about a week ago. I have yet to upload and name them but when I do I'll put a couple up here. (the camera was found shortly after we came home in the couch cushions).
The trip was really fun despite traveling with an active toddler. He adjusted pretty well to the 3 hour time change and was a trooper with all of the driving and late meal times. We got to visit with Chris' grandpa one of the days and that was a special treat. He hadn't seen Anders in person so it was especially meaningful for all of us. He has been having some health problems and Chris and I have been talking about going out to visit for a while. Luckily he was feeling good enough to meet us half way between West Virginia where he lives, and Cincinnati. We met at a State park lodge which was really quite pretty and we took plenty of pictures (coming later). It was good to spend leisurely time with Chris' mom and go to her church on Sunday. We also got to spend a relaxing day at a really nice local park with Chris' dad and Aunt one of the days. Anders really took an interest in airplanes and the day we got home we were sitting on the floor of our apartment playing and an airplane went over. Anders eyes got really big and he pointed up with quite a bit of urgency. He seemed to really know what that sound was after all the traveling that we did.

On another note, if you happen to be home during the day next week and flip on the t.v. you may get to hear Chris' voice! He recorded a commercial for "Cash Call" a horrible lending company that advertises to the desperate and destitute (and charges accordingly!). I looked them up online and read some interesting reviews.
It will probably air mid day during the talk show circuit. I'm curious to hear it myself so we'll have our tube on until we hear it!
