Look who's THREE and up-to-date on October

Our first big event in October was the celebration of Kahlil's third complete trip around the sun. That's right, Kahlil is THREE. The party was held at Pappa's Pizza, a favorite with the younger set because of the pizza and play area. (Pappa's Pizza is dreaded by parents because of the less than yummy pizza and the germ incubator know as the play area. But this time we had just gotten over pink eye and were still coughing from our most recent colds so we were the germ distributors rather than collectors.) Kahlil and his friends - Tivi, Cruz, Sean, Leo, Annika, Wren, TJ, Valerie, and Maggie - had a great time.
The other big event for the first half of October was the arrival of Grandma Dolores. She came to meet Langston and the spend some time with Kahlil. She will be here for a month. She is the reason I have a little extra time to do these updates! She generally keeps Langston happy and entertained. It's been especially helpful at work where she and Langston have been going for walks and letting me work for more than five minutes at a time.

Last week the Soft Star crew went bowling for a little break. We've been working hard the last few months and wanted to knock a few things down. It was the first time bowling for the youngest elves - Tivi, Kahlil, and Cruz. They really got into it! Of course their bowling etiquette is a little lacking as they liked to lay down at the end of the ally and wait for their balls to knock down the pins.
