Alex had a great time at the Halloween Parade yesterday. The weather was perfect and so many people showed up for it. Between Halloween and Philadelphia winning the World Series the city has been a little crazy.

I’ve finally added the photos from the last couple of months. I’ve been so busy that I’ve been neglecting Alex’s site. New photos have been added to August 2008, September 2008 and October 2008.

Here is a funny video that we took of Alex today.

Yesterday when we were out at lunch Alex said that she was never getting married. My friend Jim looked at me and said, “Maybe she could marry Knox Pitt.” Knox is one of Brad Pitt’s new twins. Alex looked up and shouted, “My name is not Mouse Pit.”

On May 31st, Alex and I went to Wizard World, an annual toy and comic book convention. The photos have been added to May 2008.

Happy Birthday Natalie. We hope that you have a great day.

Alex had her 5th birthday party on Saturday June 9th. All of her family was there on the Britton side and a couple of her friends. She had a Wizard of Oz theme - she still loves Dorothy. She had a wonderful time and got some great gifts. I can’ believe that she is 5 - she seems to think that being 5 makes her more grown-up and that she can do whatever she wants now.

On her actual birthday on the 12th she had a party at Pre-K with cupcakes and a pinata. The pinata was a princess castle and had strings for the kids to pull rather then having the kind that the kids try to beat with a stick. After school and work we took her out to eat at Olive Garden, which is one of her favorite restaurants., I told them it was her birthday and the staff sang Happy Birthday in Italian and gave her a chocolate cake. Alex kept saying, “How did they know it was my birthday?”

Happy Birthday to David Asta!!! We love you and are sorry that we couldn’t come to your party.

Last Friday, the 8th, I went to New York for the day to visit Natalie and baby Sarah. I couldn’t believe how tiny and cute Sarah was. John spent most of the day with David so Natalie and I had a chance to talk and hang out with the newborn. It was great to see them. I think all of us are going up for a visit in the middle of May. There are picture on April 2005 .
