Jack's 6th birthday today!!!! We got up and had waffles with syrup and powdered sugar. And then I sent him to school.:) His infatuation with Star Wars will increase after his presents tonight. It will be years before he can handle the movie so for now the actions figures and books are a thrill. I believe the Millinium Falcon and the X-wing Starfighter ship will be landing at our house this evening. He may self-implode with excitement.

It is only4 days until Jackson turns 6!!!! Where did my little Smithfield Ham go? He's gone to bigger things I'm afraid. He just did his 1st palm strike and broke a board in Tae-kwan-do. Not sure how I feel about that yet...but it does allow him to play Star-Wars jetti mind games that he can't in school:)

Six year old party this weekend...we are showing Night at the Museaum at the Base Theatre. 15 six year olds screaming at the T-Rex in the movie theatre should be worth the price of admission!!! Pictures to follow.

We leave a week from Weds. for Saltzburg Austria for our Thanksgiving weekend. The setting for the "Sound of Music"...we will be watching on the way down. A 3 hour trip with lots of "Do-A-Dear...a female dear..."

Athens Vacation

Our latest European adventure was to Greece. Corey ran the Classic Athens Marathon on Sunday, 8 November, and we stayed an additional couple of days to sight see. We stayed in a less than clean apartment in the heart of Athens. Fortunately, the Starbucks right across the street from our flat helped compensate Holly for the spartan accommodations. Highlights were a climb to the top of the Acropolis and a boat trip to the Greek island Egina. Austria and Italy are next for Thanksgiving break!
