Hummm...a Title?? Can't Think of One.

On September 13th I wrote about Chef Kevin and his cancer fight. On Friday, October 10th, Kevin lost his battle. I went into the store on Sunday morning not paying attention to my surroundings in my usual fashion. I was at the deli counter for a minute or so before I noticed the floral arrangement with the chef hat on the corner of the counter...it was almost enough to knock me off my feet. I wonder how many other people cried at the deli counter that day? The Tuesday before I had left a package at Kevin's home with a note and his very own pair of Cancer Sucks socks. Boy, does it ever. The deli won't be the same without you Kevin.

I had thought that I would probably ride in the Scenic Shore 150 ride for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society again next year. Now, I will definitely be riding and it will be for Kevin.

We visited the pumpkin farm last Saturday. Here are the girls....


Olivia wanted to take a picture of me pretending to eat the corn. She was instructing me on exactly what I need to do to make it look like I was REALLY eating the corn.



Olivia and Carina with their cousins Greta and Audrey at their cousin Trevor's 2nd birthday. The ladies played all day and had a blast together!

Olivia with her newest cousin, Henry. Henry is 3 weeks old.


On Monday I leave for my semi-annual conference for work. I'm headed to Brussels, Belgium. I'm really looking forward to seeing my colleagues from around the globe. The girls told me they didn't want me to go. However, now that they know that I'll bring back some chocolate they seem to be fine with it. Like mother, like daughters.

A few things:
(1) First, the girls look so big and beautiful.
(2) Your hair looks super dark, are you dying it dark or did it come in like that?
(3) Henry is adorable, who does he belong to?
(4) I'm so sorry about your loss. Cancer does suck!
(5) I hope you have a wonderful and safe trip.
Love ya,

It is a very well staged shot. I almost thought you really were eating the corn! Did you guys make some awesome jack-o-lanterns?

Very sad news about Kevin... :( I'll wear my socks in his memory
