We loved the Pumpkin Patch at Johnson's Farm!
It's been a rough couple of weeks here in the Grabowski household :( Recently, we lost a good friend of ours due to cancer. She was an amazing woman!!! Truly an inspiration to all. We met her two years ago at the Philadelphia Azerbaijani Reunion. Her husband and herself adopted a baby boy from Azerbaijan too. Ryan and their son are the same age. I'm trying to wrap my brain around this but just can't seem to do so. I believe I am still in shock.
Then, the other day our 12 year yellow lab, Summer, goes into surgery to have a cyst removed from her paw. According to the Vet, she was unable to remove all of the cyst, short of taking Summer's paw off. Also, the Vet said it appears as if the cyst is a malignant tumor. So, it turns out that Summer has cancer, we are just waiting on the report from the lab to confirm what the Vet is telling us :( Ron and I have had Summer all of our marriage, I can't imagine our lives without her. She is "my little girl"!
On top of all of this our babysitter needed surgery and requires recovery time. I feel extremely horrible about our babysitter :( The kiddos really do miss Ms. Kimmy...Ryan told me he preferred Ms. Kimmy playing with him over me. Great, huh? He also told me that he really, really liked Ms. Kimmy and that he was going to marry her when he turns 7 years old b/c then he will be old enough. Guess I'm not his only sweetheart anymore :(
Now, on a brighter note...Luke is eating us out of house and home! He has gained a little over 8 lbs. in the last 4 months...truly amazing!!! And over the Summer he grew over 2 inches. He still has a Santa Claus belly but not as round anymore.
We have gone to the Pumpkin Patch to pick our Pumpkins, b/c according to Ryan (he told Luke this) "we don't buy Pumpkins, we pick them" :) I can't wait for Halloween this year, Ron bought them little UPS outfits, they will be his "little helpers"!!! Trust me I will take plenty of photos :)
This weekend my sil got married Friday night :) CONGRATS RE AND GOOMBA :) The wedding was beautiful, not to mention Re looked "Gorgeous", this according to Ryan :) The reception was terrific and had such wonderful food!!! Also, my sister was the maid of honor in her best friends wedding yesterday. CONGRATS KRISTA AND JEFF :) My Dad, Ryan and myself attended the wedding and again Ryan thought Krista, the bride, looked gorgeous. He also told me that his Aunt Lissy was the prettiest girl at the wedding and she looked tooooo gorgeous for words. What a little charmer!!!
Luke has learned how to brush his teeth, it's the cutest thing ever :) He brings his big brother's stool (that is now his) over to the bathroom sink, grabs his toothbrush and starts brushing but he really likes to suck the toothpaste off the brush more than anything. And then he spits or rather he does raspberries, thinking he is spitting. Too cute! Speaking of teeth...Ryan lost another tooth. We were told that it would be one or both of his top teeth next, last December he lost his one bottom tooth and then the other. But it didn't happen the way it was suppose to. Ryan lost another bottom tooth and we thought it was pushed out b/c his new bottom teeth didn't have enough room to move into. We come to find out it was "knocked out" by guess who...his "whirlwind" little brother,Luke!!! It was knocked it out as they were wrestling one day and it took Ryan a day or so to tell me the truth. I thought it was funny how the one day it wasn't loose and the next Ryan lost that tooth?!? BOYS! Ryan also started the soccer season, much better than last year, he is not picking any dandelions...yet :)
Love & HUGS,
Jenny, Ron, Ryan and Luke :)

I stumbled onto your blog--just a quick question--I'm heading to Vladivostok for 1st trip with EAC--I leave Nov 29. Any suggestions? Please email if you can dgcopela@geneva.edu
I also stumbled across your blog after googling vladivostok adoptions. Your family is adorable! You've got a new follower in Chicago area! I adopted my son from Vlad (came home 11/07) and am wanting to start the process for a girl in that same region. I want to use a different agency and EAC seems to be getting good reviews (although some people mentioned them being on BBB). I'd love to get your insight of the agency if you feel comfortable doing that. My email address is afw22@comcast.net.
