September

Happy October and Fall to All!  September was very busy and not busy at the same time.  The not busy part was me being on a 3 week vacation from work.  Here is a snapshot of our September in the Wild West....

Little sister Tricia had her first ultrasound.  She is 3 months now, and they will find out if it's a boy or girl in December!  It's going to be a long wait!  We  also got the happy news that another member of our big family is expecting, but I won't say who yet.  We are so happy for both of them! 

Mom Zabowsky has been getting into the swing of taking long walks & learning more about how to manage her diabetes.  She has been in Missouri visiting and taking care of her very ill sister.

My 3 week vacation came very unexpectedly due to bad storm damage to my school.  Pictures and more info below.  

With everyone else I know in Tucson working, I have not had a lot to do.  I did get a lot of finishing touches done on our apartment that I have been meaning to do.  So that I wouldn't go completely crazy, and so that James wouldn't go completely crazy from working so hard this month, we decided to squeeze in a mini trip.  We went to Sedona for 4 days.  The weather was a little cooler than here (we are still in the 90's!).  One night we both couldn't believe that we were cold-it's something we haven't felt since living in San Diego!  We got in lots of hiking, including a hike with Teri, Joe, & the kids.  They live in Prescott which is only an hour away from Sedona, so on Sunday they came out to see us & we had dinner together.  

I made a slideshow of our pictures from our trip.  I couldn't figure out how to post it here, so click on this link below...

Tohono Chul Park

Can you find James?

Tohono Chul Park

 We decided to check out a park that is about 10 minutes away from us.  The grounds are beautiful, and they have an amazing restaurant.  I had the best scone of my life-cranberry white chocolate chip.  Yum!  Here are pictures of the day.
