Bruce's Grandmother's 90th Birthday Party

A few weeks ago, Bruce's family gathered at the Bonwit on Long Island to celebrate Bruce's grandmothers ( and Ryan's great grandmother) 90th Birthday. She looked great and it was really nice that the whole family could get together. His Uncle flew in from Florida and his cousin and her family flew in from North Carolina. The food was great as was the company.

Here's to another 90 Grandma!!!!

Random Ryan Pics

I know it is already the end of summer, but here are some pics from the summer. This is Ryan enjoying my sister and brother in laws pool. He can't swim and does not like to go all the way into the water, but he loves sitting on the steps. He started to get daring and actually started to climb down the steps by himself, but would always stop at the third step. Next year he will get swimming lessons.

Potty Progress

Wish there was more to report on this front, but Ryan does not want to cooperate. He much rather pish in a diaper and not be bothered. You can ask him where pee and poop goes and he will answer correctly with, "it goes in the potty." But he won't actually do it. Tomorrow I will be home as will Bruce and we are going to strip Ryan down and let him go naked and see if we can make any progress. I pray for good results because it will be me cleaning all the puddles and stains. :(

The Fall Television Season

It's that time of year when the networks unleash their new programming and we as viewers pray that whatever we choose to start watching continues on to the end of the season. It's been very irritating in the past few years to start watching something, getting into it, and then having it yanked before any resolution can come about (remember "Reunion" anyone?). There are some shows that you should know better than to start watching, like Cavemen, that is doomed to fail even before it previews. I am excited about a few and am hoping for the best. The two I am most excited about are "Reaper" and "Pushing Daisies". I am also hoping for the best with "Dirty Sexy Money" because I am a huge Peter Krause fan and am a sucker for a soap opera.

There are also those that are returning that I am looking forward too. Can't wait for "Greys Anatomy", though I am not excited about the spinoff. I am also super happy for Kathering Heigl for winning the Emmy. She deserved it. Also anticipating "Heros" return, but not really sure how I feel about some of the storylines that I have read about so far. And then there are those returning, but not airing until later on such as "Nip/Tuck" and "Lost". I'll write once I've seen all the premieres and hopefully will have a few new favorite shows.

This is why I love the Fall.
