It's Monday evening and I've just come back from running errands. Let's see, I got the car inspected, returned some shoes to the store (they were Jennifer's...and yes, they were unworn!), checked off the grocery list at the grocery store, and filled up Jennifer's car at the gas station. So ends my day "off" work.
Friday and Monday were teacher in-service days at school, so I took them off to spend some time at home - especially with Francesca. Okay, so doing the errands doesn't really count for spending time with Francesca...but Jennifer's happy.
Friday was the big day - I took Francesca and a friend downtown to the convention center for auto show. I realize there may be some debate on whether this day trip was for Francesca's benefit or mine...especially since she's only 12 years old.
Those of you who doubt my intentions probably have not raised the subject of automobiles with Francesca in the past year. Francesca has grown into a connoisseur in every sense of the word, devouring all aspects automotive. Here are a few pics (taken before the battery in my camera went dead):
The convertible New Beetle...this picture makes my head hurt.
Francesca at the helm of a Ford F150 pulling a trailer. This lasted approximately 10 seconds before she crashed. Thank goodness for simulators!
Julia smokes the simulator, besting most of the men standing around. Way to go!
In front of the "Transformers" car. If only I could transform them back to when they were five years old!Francesca's friend Julia had a good time, too. She isn't quite the car fanatic like Francesca. No, Julia is the definition of normal...at least she was until she spent the day with us.
As for Carson...we are off all medications and don't have to go back to the clinic until Friday, when he'll get another round of chemo. He has been feeling GREAT. He is full of energy and playing nonstop...and talking nonstop, too!
We are so thankful that he is feeling so good!!
Paul.
