more pictures from a fun family visit






















Grandma, Grandpa & Anthony headed back to TN today. We had a great time. Anthony loved his cousin Skylar.....most of the time! When she cried he told us he wanted to go home because she was giving him a headache! On Saturday we went to the Crowne Center to visit a Chocolate Factory & the Wizard of Oz display. Before we got out of the car I wanted to feed Skylar...Anthony asked how long I was going to be & said it wasn't really worth it since we brought the baby with us! He's honest. A few minutes later he told me how much he loved his new cousin. Enjoy the pics!

Our weekend






















Larry had to interview the Dean of the Benedictine (Catholic) College for a paper he has to write for Kansas State. His Masters Degree will be in Adult Education. The Catholic College Campus is beautiful & it is right up the street. Here is a picture of the Catholic Church which is the oldest in Kansas. We also went exploring again in Kansas City today. We shopped a little & then went to the World War I Museum. The Museum was closing in an hour so we decided to see the inside stuff on another day. The outside as you can see is up high & has a great view of the city. The huge tower actually has an elevator in it so you can go to the top...we will also do that next time. On our way home we stopped in Independence MO which is the only place we have found so far that has a mall (1 1/2 hours from home!!!) Larry has been shopping for tread mills & we bought a great one at Sears today. It has a fan & a tv in it!!! Then we finally found the bed we have been looking for at a furniture store we passed on the way home. It is a wooden bed frame for our queen sized bed that has 10 drawers in it & a bookshelf headboard. It will be delivered in 3 weeks!

Our evening walk







Since it was such a beautiful day today, Larry took a break from his homework so we could take a walk after dinner. We walked for 2 miles along the Missouri River which is across the street from our house. There were 4 dogs off leash along the way but Taz was good. Skylar loved the walk & smiled the entire time.

A typical day in Kansas
