Uncle David is leaving for Ireland on October 11th. He is going to stay in Europe for three months and he may end up staying for a couple of years if he gets a job. He held us all tight before he left because we don’t know when we will see him again. Friends and family can keep in touch with what Uncle David is doing by going to his blog: danneker.blogspot.com. If they want to email him his address is danneker@gmail.com.

Saturday, October 7th, Uncle Mike, Auntie Martha and Daniela had a going away party for Uncle David. You actually met Auntie Martha the week before but she wouldn’t let us use her picture because she didn’t like how she looked. She made a wonderful meal-she is a great cook! Uncle Michael was letting you know about the dangers of drinking alcohol in this picture.

Friday night, October 6th, we got your new crib set up. You previously slept in a pack and play but it was getting too small for you. You liked moving around too much. You really were fascinated by your new crib and really seemed to like it.

Mommy’s other brother, Uncle David and his girlfrind Marlene were there to see you for the first time also.

You met your Uncle Mike, mommy’s brother, and his daughter, your cousin Daniela for the first time.

You also loved listening to the sound of the water falls and ponds.

The next day we went to the Los Angeles Arboretum. You really loved looking at all the beauiful flowers.

You instantly loved your Pou-Pou. I am sure it is because she and your mommy look so much alike.

Your mom’s mom, Pou-Pou and Grandpa Joe finally got to see you on September 29th. They drove all the way down from Spokane, Washington.
